Every Wednesday morning at 9am on Instagram, I go live and discuss California Politics over coffee.
On this episode we discuss the issues with water and electricity and why it has been so hard to get it right on these issues, and why Noodles is taking action now of all times.
*The California Underground Podcast is dedicated to discussing California politics from a place of sanity and rationality.*

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of coffee and California
00:00:25
politics. How's it going to do it on this
00:00:27
Wednesday morning where we sit? Which I will talk about
00:00:29
California politics over some delicious coffee another hot one
00:00:35
out there. Today we're going to talk about
00:00:36
well the Heat and what's going on and why you should be worried
00:00:39
about whether or not you can turn on your lights or turn on
00:00:41
your TV. Today, we're going to talk about
00:00:44
everything, energy really kind of energy water, all that stuff.
00:00:47
And I'm going to try and make it as like sexy as possible.
00:00:50
All because I know when people probably saw this, they were
00:00:52
like, oh yeah, water and electricity.
00:00:55
But if you live here in California, somebody said
00:01:00
there's no sound going on right now.
00:01:02
Let me try this. Does that work?
00:01:04
Can you hear me now? How about that?
00:01:09
That should be a lot better. Try to make this as sexy as
00:01:14
possible. If you can hear me and give me a
00:01:16
thumbs up to the people in the trash.
00:01:17
That there's no sound if you can.
00:01:21
Okay, cool. Thank you.
00:01:23
Thank you to everybody who ever tells me that there's some issue
00:01:28
going on. So anyway as I was saying we're
00:01:30
going to talk about water electricity stuff that you know,
00:01:34
probably doesn't sound super sexy right off the bat.
00:01:38
But if Live here in California, you know, that it is a big issue
00:01:44
being able to one use water and to turn on the electricity
00:01:48
because today, there was a flex issue.
00:01:51
Alert a flex Alert issued today, by the California independent
00:01:55
system, operator for all of Southern California, meaning
00:01:58
that you may not be able to turn on your lights today and it's
00:02:03
not always a shock. And people are if you live in
00:02:07
California, I live in Southern California.
00:02:09
The for Nia, you know, for a fact that there's definitely
00:02:13
possibilities there was one day. I was just working in my office
00:02:16
and all of a sudden was the first hot day of sort of early
00:02:20
summer, and all of a sudden, the power went out, which is not odd
00:02:25
here in Southern California, and that's crazy.
00:02:27
I think, in a first world country in California, which
00:02:31
points itself has to be as like, you know, hey, we're this great
00:02:36
state and we have all this great technology and we have all this
00:02:38
stuff. Um that we shouldn't be worried
00:02:42
about being able to turn the lights on and that's an issue
00:02:46
but we're going to talk about it today.
00:02:48
Tomorrow night's podcast is going to be.
00:02:51
I know I've been doing these like tick-tocks about in these
00:02:53
reels about kind of going after noodles and responding to them
00:02:59
and all that stuff. But tomorrow I want to go more
00:03:02
in-depth and actually watch the entire Tick-Tock because when I
00:03:05
do a real, you only got like five seconds of what he's really
00:03:07
talking about. Not, That I'm like this in
00:03:11
genuinely editing it because you can go watch the whole Tick-Tock
00:03:14
for yourself and everything. I'm responding to, I'm
00:03:15
responding to his argument in The Tick-Tock, but tomorrow, I'm
00:03:19
going to sit down and actually sit there and watch the
00:03:21
tick-tocks. Yep, I'm going to sit there and
00:03:24
grin and bear it through noodles tick-tocks.
00:03:27
There's a whole bunch of them because it's his new thing where
00:03:29
he's like trying to own the red States, or the red State
00:03:36
Governors, because he thinks that's the way to do it, is
00:03:38
doing these Tick tocks, but most of his arguments are pretty easy
00:03:43
to see through and you can, we can point out really where his
00:03:46
argument falls short. Also kind of going along with
00:03:51
the theme of the show. If you want to grab one of the
00:03:53
stop, the brownout support nuclear energy.
00:03:56
That is pinned below. All of your help and support
00:03:59
goes to invest back into the show and grow the show, and help
00:04:03
the show get to more listeners and, you know, spread the
00:04:06
awareness about California. And what's going on here in
00:04:08
California? So let's get started with what
00:04:12
is really the number one issue, which I think is water.
00:04:15
We're going to talk a little bit about electricity but this was
00:04:21
from cow. Matters is an article this week
00:04:24
Avenue. Some came out and he had a press
00:04:28
conference in front of a desalination plant in front of
00:04:32
Antioch or in Antioch in front of this desalination plant where
00:04:37
he was going to go on and he's going on and talking.
00:04:39
About what his plan is for water, and he has a lot of ideas
00:04:46
and I'll, you know, a lot of it does revolve around
00:04:48
desalination. So, hey, not bad.
00:04:52
All right, you know, he doesn't want to talk more about what's
00:04:55
going on desalination. I think his numbers about how
00:04:57
many desalination plants there are.
00:04:59
And their effectiveness is a little off.
00:05:01
He said there was something about, like, 37 desalination
00:05:04
plans. I don't think there's that many.
00:05:06
And it's not 37, like along the Host.
00:05:09
It's 37 including those like with the Delta and rivers like
00:05:13
that. And brackish water, which is
00:05:15
what he's calling them. Is these brackish water
00:05:18
desalination plants. There's been some that like for
00:05:23
example in Honey and Beach have been shut down, they were
00:05:27
rejected by the California Coastal commission, but let's
00:05:31
dive into this article and talk about it.
00:05:34
This is from Kyle matters. Again, all links are provided in
00:05:37
the show notes, so, If you ever listen to the audio version, I
00:05:41
always put the links of these articles.
00:05:42
I'm talking about whether it's on this show or the Thursday
00:05:45
night show, anything we bring up.
00:05:47
I always put the links in the show notes.
00:05:49
You can go read it for yourself and if you want to go share it
00:05:51
and talk about it yourself. So California, governor Gavin,
00:05:54
Newsom today, unveiled a broad strategy for bolstering the
00:05:57
state's water supply. That includes targets to recycle
00:05:59
more water. Expand, Reservoir storage and
00:06:02
collect more data on the amounts.
00:06:04
Farmers use Newsome warned that new strategies are essential
00:06:07
because California's water supply.
00:06:09
Will shrink by 10%, as climate change brings, warmer drier
00:06:12
conditions throughout the state. The plan however has limited
00:06:16
details distant deadlines and does not include a water
00:06:19
conservation, mandate it does not include measures to
00:06:23
substantially reduce water, use by agriculture, which uses about
00:06:27
four times more water in California than people in urban
00:06:30
areas. So, two big key components here.
00:06:33
One, he doesn't really talk about agriculture, which
00:06:35
agriculture is a very complicated, and, Very
00:06:39
contentious issue when it comes to water in the Central Valley
00:06:42
and all these different Farms. It's I had the I don't know if I
00:06:47
would say the fortunate opportunity as a freelance
00:06:50
attorney helping out another attorney who's in the Central
00:06:52
Valley of helping him with a water rights appeals case.
00:06:57
Now if you know nothing about what water rights are or water
00:07:01
law, it's actually a very lucrative business here in the
00:07:04
state of California. If you are a water rights expert
00:07:08
and your Who knows how to argue water rights?
00:07:10
I knew nothing about water rights going into it.
00:07:14
You just asked me to help write this appeal and do a lot of
00:07:17
research on it. I spent a lot of hours on it
00:07:20
because appeals are not easy and then learning a whole new
00:07:23
subject that you don't really know anything about is a whole
00:07:25
nother issue. And let me tell you, it is one
00:07:27
of the most complicated areas of law that I've ever seen.
00:07:31
When it comes to water rights and surface water rights and
00:07:34
underground water rights, and who has rights to this base and
00:07:38
this Specifically, the Antelope Valley Basin and the reservoir
00:07:42
and who has rights to this, and which farmer can use as much as
00:07:46
they can and how much they're regulated.
00:07:48
You think that a farm, basically just turns on the water here in
00:07:52
California, and whatever they need water, they just need to
00:07:54
water. That's not really the case in
00:07:56
California. You are actually allotted a
00:07:59
certain amount of water and if you go over that amount you have
00:08:03
to keep a very strict log of how much water you use as a Murmur
00:08:10
and if you go over that amount then you could be in trouble
00:08:14
with the state and the state could come after you and sue you
00:08:17
for taking too much water. Other were also other private
00:08:20
owners could also sue you for taking too much water.
00:08:23
They could say if you're using too much water guess what?
00:08:25
If you use too much water? Then I don't get enough water.
00:08:28
So it gets really, really complicated, millions of dollars
00:08:31
in litigation fees to fight this stuff out and it just becomes a
00:08:36
whole headache for a lot of farmers who are trying to grow a
00:08:39
A lot of what is the breadbasket of America?
00:08:42
A lot of this produce and Agriculture.
00:08:44
And the fact that he kind of glossed over this and didn't
00:08:49
even really address. Agriculture is sort of the
00:08:52
elephant in a room. If you're not going to talk
00:08:54
about agriculture, who uses a lot of water and needs a lot of
00:08:57
water, more importantly, they need a lot of water to actually
00:09:00
grow their crops. Then you're kind of missing the
00:09:02
boat here. It does help sure if you want to
00:09:07
keep the citizens of California, happy.
00:09:09
People in ela in San Diego and San Francisco.
00:09:12
And all those, you know, the Southern California areas that
00:09:15
really need a lot of the water because without water.
00:09:18
And without irrigation Southern California is mostly just the
00:09:21
desert and it wouldn't really be able to support life.
00:09:24
So, without any sort of irrigation or anything, where
00:09:27
we're directing water to the southern cities, there wouldn't
00:09:31
be a lot of water down here for you to do, basically anything
00:09:34
and turn on the shower, or anything like that.
00:09:35
But as I guess his whole plan is let's just make sure Sure that
00:09:39
the citizens are happy so that they don't vote me out and screw
00:09:42
the farmers, because they don't really vote for me.
00:09:44
Anyway, and it is complicated. This isn't all about agriculture
00:09:50
water rights. That would be a whole separate
00:09:52
issue and I don't think that would be really, that kind of
00:09:57
interesting for a lot of people to really pay attention to but
00:10:00
agriculture to leave out agriculture is sort of Miss the
00:10:03
elephant in the room. They talked about how there's
00:10:06
not gonna be any conservation efforts which is Something that
00:10:10
Governor Brown did when he was in office.
00:10:12
If you remember Governor, Brown issued State mandates or said
00:10:14
you can only use a certain amount.
00:10:16
There's been legislation here in the state of California to try
00:10:20
and reduce the amount of water you can use per home, meaning,
00:10:24
when they broke it down, basically only one person in a
00:10:27
four-person household can actually take a shower.
00:10:30
The you have to like, figure out whether you want to take a
00:10:33
shower that day or you wanted to do laundry and only a certain
00:10:36
amount of people could do take a shower, based on how many people
00:10:38
lived in. Your household.
00:10:39
So multi family households, let's say like there are
00:10:43
multi-generational households all over California.
00:10:48
They wouldn't be able to actually take showers shocking
00:10:53
enough, right? But that was a proposal but
00:10:57
that's how crazy it has been when it comes to water.
00:11:01
And a lot of this really is pitting noodles against his own
00:11:05
constituency in the far left Enviro.
00:11:09
Extremist the left who are really, really crazy about
00:11:13
environment in the Greenies. He's really had to Pit himself
00:11:16
against a lot of these constituents because of the fact
00:11:21
that he has, he has to propose a lot of these issues that they're
00:11:25
not 100% behind because desalination stuff like that.
00:11:31
They're not 100% on board because remember when it comes
00:11:34
to the Church of climatology or the Church of climate change, as
00:11:37
I like to call it when you worship at the altar.
00:11:39
You're a heretic. If you step out a line just a
00:11:42
little bit and if you're not absolutely perfect, when it
00:11:45
comes to your green solution that doesn't have any harm at
00:11:51
all. Because remember you have to
00:11:52
have perfect Solutions. Forget the fact that they don't
00:11:55
want to talk about how solar panels are.
00:11:57
You can't recycle solar panels and you have to dispose them and
00:12:00
that there's a lot of talk. The quays in solar panels and
00:12:02
that if you don't do it the right way at the toxic material,
00:12:05
can leach into the groundwater and all that stuff.
00:12:10
Forget that fact for a second and also forget the fact that
00:12:15
wind turbines kill. How many birds per year because
00:12:18
they fly right into him, and how many species of birds are being
00:12:20
really decimated? Because of these wind turbines.
00:12:23
Forget that those are the nice shiny green objects, which they
00:12:26
look past the mistakes. Anything like desalination,
00:12:29
though, they always say, well, it does hurt the water.
00:12:31
And the brine goes back into the ocean, it hurts the ocean life
00:12:33
and we don't like it really noodles is at a weird spot right
00:12:37
now where he has to either figure out how to solve these
00:12:40
issues where there is no water, no electricity and make sure
00:12:47
that California doesn't look like a third world nation.
00:12:50
Where we can't get water. We can't get drinking water.
00:12:53
We can't get electricity, or does he just absolutely cave to
00:12:58
the environmentalists? And we talked a couple weeks
00:13:00
before. Or about what happens when you
00:13:03
go a little too strict with these Environmental Green
00:13:06
policies. We see it in Holland.
00:13:08
There's still protesting in Holland when it comes to these
00:13:11
green policies. And fertilizer we saw what
00:13:13
happened with Sri Lanka and how their government absolutely
00:13:17
collapsed. Because there was nothing they
00:13:18
could do. And the people were basically
00:13:21
living in poverty situations and they go well, the country's
00:13:24
bankrupt and we're all in poverty.
00:13:25
So the government's going down. So he's sort of in this weird
00:13:28
spot where especially considering he it's to run for
00:13:32
governor or Governor. He wants to run for president
00:13:36
that he has to make some of these practical decisions.
00:13:39
Where he says, look we need to ramp up desalination.
00:13:42
We need to ramp up nuclear power, all this stuff and it's
00:13:46
stuff that people in the middle. Maybe right-leaning in the
00:13:50
middle have been saying for a long time which is, we need to
00:13:52
get practical Solutions. So going on with this, let's
00:13:58
see. Despite ongoing drought that
00:14:00
grips the state and the Her strategy will not increase the
00:14:02
amounts of water available to urban areas and farms in the
00:14:05
near area. For instance is sets a 2030
00:14:08
Target for recycling, 800 thousand acre-feet of Water by
00:14:12
2030 acre-feet per water. Is there your actual Like
00:14:16
official measurement and eight percent increase from the amount
00:14:20
recycled in 2020, the 24 or t Target climbs to 1.8 million
00:14:25
acre-feet. Now keep in mind That there was
00:14:30
a proposed desalination plant in Huntington Beach, which was
00:14:36
rejected, the amount of water that would have been produced
00:14:42
by. This desalination plant would
00:14:44
have been 50 million gallons a day, 50 million gallons a day
00:14:54
Seems like a lot and considering that this is their proposal to
00:14:57
increase it by 1.8 million acre-feet is seems kind of low,
00:15:03
right? When you could just add another
00:15:04
desalination plant and increase output, The drought is not a
00:15:09
short-term situation, it's the new reality and we cannot
00:15:11
conserve our way out of this given our climate has changed.
00:15:16
Yeah. I mean I would agree with them.
00:15:17
You can't just keep conserving asking for people to go without
00:15:20
before, you know it people. There's not going to be any
00:15:22
water to go without. So some of the points that were
00:15:26
laid out in his 19 page document that the Newsom Administration
00:15:31
set out, increasing desalination of brackish water.
00:15:34
By Twenty Eight Thousand Acre feet per year by 2030 and
00:15:37
Eighty-Four thousand acre-feet. Per year by 2040 and acre foot
00:15:40
of water can serve. An average of three, Southern
00:15:43
California households for a year expanding Reservoir and ground
00:15:47
water storage capacity of by about 4 million acre-feet.
00:15:50
Though through more groundwater recharge, stormwater capture and
00:15:54
completing storage projects and expanding, our rehabilitating
00:15:57
existing reservoirs and dams finalizing water, efficiency
00:16:01
standards for houses and business called, for by 2018 in
00:16:04
ways that makes sense in each region.
00:16:07
Not sure what that means. Means, but that sounds like
00:16:10
they're going to start requiring.
00:16:11
You everyone to buy water. Efficient appliances, meaning
00:16:15
dishwashers, showers sinks, all of that stuff is going to be
00:16:19
required laundry. Everything is going to also have
00:16:23
to be required by the state of California that you have to buy.
00:16:25
What is water-efficient, putting a lot of these companies on
00:16:30
their heels to produce a lot of this, even though there are
00:16:32
already high efficiency washers, they may come up with new
00:16:35
regulations to say, you're going to have to buy something that
00:16:37
saves. Even more water considering
00:16:41
rules are other ways to streamline modernize the water
00:16:43
right system clarify, senior water rights and establish more
00:16:46
Equitable fees. That's something I talked about
00:16:48
is about all of this long. I mean, they would really have
00:16:53
to let go back and cut back a lot of law.
00:16:55
I mean, this law goes back over 100 years, these agricultural
00:17:00
water loss in the state of California.
00:17:01
So this is not like a new thing, these agricultural issues and
00:17:05
water rights have been going on for Over well, over a century
00:17:09
since California was even before it was even a state once it was
00:17:13
a territory expanding Reservoir and ground, water storage
00:17:16
capacity. This is something that I myself
00:17:18
have proposed and something that I think is absolutely necessary,
00:17:23
which is, we need to have a storage.
00:17:26
We need to have, like, a water savings account, like, you know,
00:17:29
when if you're good with your money, you kind of sit down and
00:17:33
go, okay, you know, you sit down with your significant other and
00:17:36
go. Okay, honey, we need to How much
00:17:40
blank in a savings account to cover, whether you lose a job
00:17:44
whether the car needs repair, stuff like that.
00:17:48
And you say, okay, we're going to keep x amount of dollars in
00:17:52
our savings account. And if it dips below that
00:17:54
because we spent money, our goal is to get it back up to where it
00:17:57
was, you have to, and it's ISM in my mind, you have to expand a
00:18:02
water storage capacity and reservoirs to a point where you
00:18:06
can can confidently. I say we have about three to
00:18:09
five years of water stored up in the state of California.
00:18:14
There is enough land and we could do this and we could
00:18:16
figure this out with the amount of output and with this new
00:18:18
technology to start to do this. If we kind of do it all hands on
00:18:23
deck and all the above approach to getting more water, we need
00:18:28
to have storage enough for, let's say three to five years
00:18:34
and let's say we get it to five years and if we start
00:18:37
approaching the three, Is because we're using too much or
00:18:39
not, saving enough crank up the output and bring it back up to
00:18:43
five years. Like, that's really the goal is
00:18:45
that we shouldn't be every single year.
00:18:48
Figuring out. Exactly.
00:18:50
You know, do we need to conserve water?
00:18:52
Do we need to put more water where we going to get water?
00:18:56
How we going to tell people to stop using water?
00:18:58
Are we going to regulate people to use more low flow and all
00:19:01
this stuff? We should have three to five
00:19:04
years of water, stored up, and that's something that I believe
00:19:08
could. Could be done in the state of
00:19:09
California. I don't know if someone like
00:19:11
noodles is doing this right now just because he's trying to run
00:19:13
for president and he's trying to make himself look good.
00:19:15
Like he solve this problem because keep in mind everything,
00:19:19
if he runs for president in 2020 for which every passing day, I
00:19:23
see Joe, Biden, stumble, and Mumble, and drop sunglasses and
00:19:26
fail to put on a jacket. I realize this guy can't run in
00:19:31
2020 for he's going to get clobbered by whoever's going to
00:19:34
be the Republican nominee whether it be Trump or
00:19:36
descendants are like that. So I think they're going to Out
00:19:38
a way to get rid of him but that's a whole different issue.
00:19:41
That's all different episode. I think it's more likely.
00:19:45
He will actually throw his hat in the ring sooner rather than
00:19:47
later because he doesn't really care.
00:19:49
He doesn't want to serve out the rest of his term as Governor of
00:19:51
California. He's not loyal to whatever the
00:19:54
state is, he's always trying to grab that next Brass Ring.
00:19:59
These are things that he has to sort of look to solve before he
00:20:03
goes out into the rest of the country.
00:20:06
Because if he goes out into the rest of the country, Why and he
00:20:08
hasn't solved, let's say water or electricity or anything like
00:20:12
that that the rest of the country can look at and go.
00:20:14
Hey, look. What California did.
00:20:15
They did this really new way of saving water, or producing
00:20:20
water, or producing electricity, and nuclear energy and stuff
00:20:22
like that. There's not much he can really
00:20:24
run on because his opponents are going to go look, you know,
00:20:27
especially with strong as you may lick.
00:20:28
You can't even turn on the light.
00:20:30
You can't flush your toilet in California.
00:20:33
Okay. Listen, folks, is that what you
00:20:35
want? Okay.
00:20:37
But These are issues that his opponents are going to point
00:20:40
out. So I guess he's sort of stuck in
00:20:42
this practical mindset, where he does have to solve problems, how
00:20:47
he's going to solve stuff like the homelessness and Drug.
00:20:50
I can't, I'm kind of getting off topic here, but this is really
00:20:53
kind of circling and why is noodles all of a sudden, really
00:20:58
concerned about this issue, 34 years into his administration
00:21:03
his first term Administration you could have fixed this day
00:21:06
one when he started walking in. Even the open or the drug use,
00:21:11
safe injection, sites. Whatever the heck, they want to
00:21:14
call it sitting on newsom's desk right now and he hasn't said
00:21:19
whether he wants to sign are not.
00:21:21
He has not shown any sort of public support for it.
00:21:24
And I called this before I say it's likely, he probably won't
00:21:26
sign it because he wants to run for president.
00:21:29
And that's something that if he signs that his opponents are
00:21:32
going to go after him like nothing else.
00:21:35
And I say this is the guy who pretty much Addicts, homeless
00:21:39
addicts to shoot up in your city but that's a whole different
00:21:44
issue. That's a whole different It
00:21:45
episode. I'm sure they'll be a lot to
00:21:47
talk about when he finally announces.
00:21:49
He's going to run for president. Which I imagine after the
00:21:52
midterms, we're going to get a lot of more chatter whether
00:21:57
Biden's going to run or not. If it's a really if it's a
00:22:01
really bad midterm and in the sense of they get slaughtered
00:22:08
and then I think we're going to be talking about whether Biden
00:22:10
should go or not. Somebody asked the noodles, keep
00:22:13
the nuclear plant in San Diego open, not the one here on the
00:22:18
water, he kept Diablo Canyon open.
00:22:21
That's the one he's been fighting for.
00:22:23
There is one here and the one that looks like two breasts.
00:22:28
When you're walking, or when you're going down the 5, they
00:22:32
call him the boobs. Everyone takes pictures of them
00:22:34
and goes boobs, but there's something about that.
00:22:37
They Need one item to fix the power plant and can actually be
00:22:43
up and running and this is something where the state if
00:22:46
they want to, they're sitting on a hundred billion dollar Surplus
00:22:48
could basically loan the money to the power play and whoever's
00:22:54
operating the power plants and out for it.
00:22:56
Thank you. That's the name of it.
00:22:59
They could loan the money, they could fix that part.
00:23:02
You'd have another nuclear power plant up and running to nuclear
00:23:05
power plants. All of a sudden makes a big
00:23:07
difference on the amount of of electrical output.
00:23:10
Let's see at the briefing noodles, bemoan that what he
00:23:13
called, a regulatory Thicket slowing, these efforts, and
00:23:15
pledged to work with the legislature in the last week's
00:23:17
of session to help us fast-track these projects, and this is what
00:23:22
he said, quote the time to get these damn projects is
00:23:26
ridiculous. It's absurd, it's reasonably.
00:23:29
Comedic noodle said, I recently moved to streamline permitting
00:23:34
for a renewable energy projects, a contentious effort, that
00:23:36
lawmakers called rushed. Lousy the report.
00:23:40
Also, touted the state's controversial tunnel proposal to
00:23:42
replumb. The sacramento-san Joaquin,
00:23:44
Delta and Plum more water. South Antioch mayor, Lamar
00:23:46
Thorpe criticized, the tunnel, playing during remarks with
00:23:49
noodles, although he voiced support for the rest of the
00:23:50
administration's. Water strategy.
00:23:54
Let's see. Do you do?
00:23:57
Again, down got them for urban users.
00:24:00
Newsom has not followed in the footsteps of former Governor
00:24:03
Jerry Brown, who imposed a Statewide conservation, mandate
00:24:05
Newsroom has thus far prefer to leave the details to local water
00:24:08
agencies what he's called a mandate of local mandates
00:24:12
Newsome said today that his voluntary approach came out of a
00:24:15
comprehensive analysis of Lessons Learned From the last
00:24:17
drought. So one thing I think that could
00:24:20
really be and this is sort of my argument for California because
00:24:26
it's such Large State and it has 58 counties.
00:24:30
California can basically be a mini United States when you look
00:24:34
at it. I mean, you kind of, Look at
00:24:35
California. Look at the different 58
00:24:37
counties. It kind of is like a mini United
00:24:40
States. You do have, you know, up here
00:24:42
in the state of Jefferson. You have a lot more red.
00:24:46
It's much more rural forest and all that stuff, beautiful area.
00:24:51
You have the coastal cities, which is in that kind of just
00:24:54
like the coastal cities of America, you Of the Inland kind
00:24:58
of areas which is kind of like the Midwest which is very red.
00:25:02
You have the South which is right on the border which has a
00:25:05
strong Hispanic influence. So we do I think California does
00:25:11
mirror a lot of the United States and I think my personal
00:25:15
opinion and the my personal wish.
00:25:17
If I could snap my fingers and help California is California,
00:25:22
needs to be run more like a federalist federalism short.
00:25:27
Style where the counties have a lot more power to really
00:25:30
designate a lot of stuff on their own and the state
00:25:33
government kind of oversees everything.
00:25:35
Because right now, we have a state government that tries to
00:25:39
do these. One-size-fits-all mentalities
00:25:43
that don't work for a large majority of the large majority
00:25:49
of the County's. For example, let's say San Diego
00:25:54
County, the and we'll call it like the state of San Diego.
00:25:57
Says great. We're fine with putting
00:26:01
desalination plants up and down our Coast will put three dots,
00:26:04
desalination plants up and down Arcos that will provide San
00:26:09
Diego with enough water. For our citizens are 4 million
00:26:13
citizens and we don't have to worry about water and we have
00:26:15
enough water, there's farms in San Diego County.
00:26:17
There's a lot of stuff going on and San Diego County says, this
00:26:22
is our territory and we're going to take care of it because we're
00:26:26
the How do we understand what our locality needs?
00:26:30
Great. If there are, if there is an
00:26:33
excess of water, then the state of San Diego can sell that or
00:26:40
send that to another state in the California republic?
00:26:45
Let's say, la says, hey, we need some more water.
00:26:49
Would you be willing to sell it to us in San Diego?
00:26:52
County goes sure. We have more than enough water.
00:26:55
We have millions of gallons and we'll see.
00:26:57
Send you a millions of gallons and then La the state of Allah
00:27:00
pays San Diego County. Same thing with Orange County,
00:27:03
Orange County is doing better than LA County they could trade
00:27:07
with each other and sort of create this on this local level
00:27:12
Commerce, but more importantly, you're solving, the issues of
00:27:16
these cities and these coastal areas on their own and to their
00:27:19
local entities. So if La needs water because it
00:27:22
is a huge City and a lot of water is diverted to LA And you
00:27:28
say, hey here's your options, you can build a desalination
00:27:31
plant, you can build two desalination plant, Even build
00:27:33
3D Sonic planes. We don't really care if you want
00:27:35
to buy it from Huntington Beach who sets it up on their own
00:27:38
because they're not, they're not beholding to the California
00:27:42
Coastal commission. You could do that as well, you
00:27:44
can have the Huntington Beach. Well, yeah, I mean, Orange
00:27:47
County of course, you're better then La sorry to anyone in LA
00:27:50
county, there's good people up in LA county but Orange County
00:27:53
is much nicer. Orange County is kind of like a
00:27:55
little brother of And Diego County or a little sister,
00:27:58
whatever you want to call it, sort of on the same way blank
00:28:02
Orange County, and San Diego County.
00:28:04
But anyway, then they could kind of create their own trait and
00:28:08
they could figure out on their own, what do their own
00:28:11
respective States? Need, what do what does la the
00:28:14
state of el ainy doesn't need more water?
00:28:16
Is it going to buy from Huntington Beach is going to buy
00:28:18
from San Diego? Is it going to do these on a
00:28:21
local level? Because right now, what's
00:28:23
happening is the LA area is fed through.
00:28:27
Colorado River in a lot of this has to do with Federal issues,
00:28:32
treaties that are almost 100 years old.
00:28:35
At this point, there is a treaty.
00:28:37
I was reading about it this morning about how they kind of
00:28:41
carved up who gets, what from the Colorado River?
00:28:43
California gets the Lion's Share, 1.5 million gallons
00:28:47
actually. In a treaty goes to Mexico.
00:28:50
Most of it goes to like Utah, and Colorado, and Nevada, and
00:28:54
all these are Arizona all these different states.
00:28:57
But that then lessens the pressure on the Central Valley
00:29:01
who could get their water from the Colorado River.
00:29:04
So that's why I think this one size fits all doesn't really
00:29:08
work in a lot of instances when it comes to California overall.
00:29:13
And I think counties need to be regulated on their own.
00:29:16
Or they need to kind of control all these issues on their own,
00:29:20
with the state, holding everything together and just
00:29:23
kind of playing referee. I think I kind of went off on a
00:29:27
little Tangent. But that's really my thought
00:29:29
when it comes to these issues. Same thing with nuclear power
00:29:32
plants, if the county or the state of San Diego says, we're
00:29:36
going to build or we're going to turn our nuclear power plant
00:29:39
back on. They should be allowed to turn
00:29:41
their nuclear power, plant back on and say great.
00:29:44
We have enough we have an abundance of cheap electricity
00:29:47
for San Diego. Our citizens, get to enjoy the
00:29:54
benefits of cheap electricity their electricity.
00:29:57
Missa tee is $20 a month. It's fantastic.
00:30:00
They don't have to worry about spending $100 or $200 or $300
00:30:04
because they're running the AC to cool off their whole house.
00:30:07
We don't worry about brownouts because our electrical grid is
00:30:09
great. And guess what, we have extra
00:30:11
electricity, maybe we want to sell it to somebody else and
00:30:14
maybe a different state says will buy.
00:30:17
That will buy that from you or we'll set up our own nuclear
00:30:20
power plant. That's what I think really needs
00:30:22
to come down to when it comes to these issues of water.
00:30:26
And electricity is it needs to come down to a more local level.
00:30:29
Let the localities figure out how they need to address this
00:30:34
rather than let the state dictate whether they need it or
00:30:37
not and in the hunting and Beach.
00:30:39
The California Coastal commission is a perfect example
00:30:43
of what happens when the state is filled with too many Eggheads
00:30:47
and to many environmental Greenies who are obsessed with
00:30:50
one agenda and one agenda only and they can't look past the
00:30:53
fact that hey These Southern California cities, Orange
00:30:57
County, La San Diego. Lsf, we need water.
00:31:01
And this desalination plant will provide 50 million gallons a day
00:31:06
in water and you're saying, no, and we're sitting here looking
00:31:11
at a drought and we don't have enough water.
00:31:15
Seems kind of idiotic because now the people in Southern
00:31:18
California and in that area, specifically are going to suffer
00:31:21
because the state run by a bunch of Eggheads and bureaucrats,
00:31:24
don't really understand what's going on in Honey.
00:31:26
And Beach and how Southern California is really struggling
00:31:28
for water. How the state is really
00:31:29
struggling for water. Let's see it to do final thing
00:31:36
in this article. Today's press conference with a
00:31:38
backdrop of brackish water, desalination plant and Antioch
00:31:41
does Under Construction comes on the heels of a poll revealing
00:31:44
that Two-thirds of California. Adults.
00:31:47
Surveyed said that state and local governments, must do more
00:31:49
to combat the current drought. Yeah, I mean that's that's
00:31:54
basic. I mean, you know, I don't know
00:31:56
who the other third is, who believes that.
00:32:01
We don't really need to combat the drought.
00:32:03
Like what what are the what's the other third thinking?
00:32:05
I just going like Yeah, I mean we don't need to battle the
00:32:11
drought. Everything's fine here.
00:32:12
Don't worry about it. I mean I guess those are people
00:32:15
who live mostly in cities and don't really worry about the
00:32:17
fact that when they turn on the water water, might not come out.
00:32:22
Let's see. And then, this is from the
00:32:25
Orange County Registrar, and this is just talking about
00:32:29
Statewide Flex, alert issued for Wednesday as heat wave, moves
00:32:32
into Southern California. So that's today.
00:32:35
Statewide Flex alert, Asking residents conserve electricity
00:32:40
from 4 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, August 17.
00:32:43
So if you need to do anything, if you need to wash your
00:32:46
clothes, run your dishwasher do it right now because between 4
00:32:50
and 9 p.m. they are asking everyone to conserve, you know,
00:32:53
the time ever when everyone's at home relaxing, once this day is
00:32:59
expect to see above average temperatures on Wednesdays,
00:33:01
official to California independent system, operator,
00:33:03
Tuesday, set in a news release, it marks the first Statewide
00:33:06
Flex Alert, issued in 2022. To buy Kauai.
00:33:09
So that's the acronym. And this is really, this is a
00:33:15
little bit more complicated, a lot of our electrical grid
00:33:20
problems are because we haven't really invested in a lot of our
00:33:25
electrical grid, Jerry Brown Nix.
00:33:27
The idea when he was governor of in Northern California,
00:33:31
specifically, he nixed the idea of burying a lot of power.
00:33:38
Is that would say from a wildfires and updating a lot of
00:33:40
old power lines, which when the heat is really hot, they could
00:33:43
actually short circuit and cause spark.
00:33:46
So, a lot of this has to do with the top Administration where
00:33:50
they would not allow a lot of electrical grid updates
00:33:54
refurbishments and stuff like that.
00:33:58
And now without a lot of electricity and electricity
00:34:01
being more expensive, we're starting to wonder why is
00:34:05
electricity becoming more expensive and Why can we not
00:34:09
even turn on our electricity? So like I said before credit,
00:34:13
where credit is due noodles, did actually get it right on Diablo
00:34:16
Canyon, that's why I nuclear power plants in near San Luis
00:34:21
Obispo County. It was supposed to be shut down
00:34:24
by 2025. However, the proposal would keep
00:34:26
it open for another decade and that's good because we need a
00:34:32
lot more power and I think we need a lot more nuclear energy.
00:34:35
I think it's the cleanest most efficient energy.
00:34:38
We have and we have the ability to do so and a couple of nuclear
00:34:41
power plants here in the state of California.
00:34:43
We would never have to worry about whether or not.
00:34:46
We can keep the lights on. Not only that when you have an
00:34:48
abundance of energy supply and demand when we have an abundance
00:34:52
of energy one, we can sell it out of state to other states
00:34:55
that need it. And to your citizens, get to
00:34:58
enjoy the lower cost of not paying hundreds and hundred
00:35:02
dollars for electric. So, Electricity and water to
00:35:08
issues that if you live in the state of California, you can
00:35:12
have to worry about, which is sad because most other states.
00:35:15
Don't really worry about this. They don't worry about whether
00:35:17
they turn on the tap whether or not they're going to be able to
00:35:22
get water and they don't worry about whether or not there's
00:35:25
going to be electricity when they turn on.
00:35:27
Am I worried about today? While I'm sitting in my office,
00:35:29
if I'm working in the middle of it, all of a sudden, the power
00:35:31
is going to go out and when the power goes out, guess what?
00:35:35
So does your Wi-Fi, so does Internet, all of that stuff goes
00:35:37
out. And so, I will be on the out on
00:35:40
the, you know, Outlook looking for, possibly a brownout
00:35:44
happening later today. Let's see.
00:35:47
Someone says Diablo Canyon one produces up to 10% of the
00:35:50
state's power on a given day. I see that's pretty good.
00:35:53
Now, imagine if we had three or four more nuclear power plants,
00:35:56
run it and how much that would actually do.
00:35:59
So with that said, I want to turn this over to comments,
00:36:03
questions, conversation. That's the point of coffee and
00:36:06
California politics is that we sit and we chat and talk about
00:36:11
California politics. So I'm going to take a sip of
00:36:14
coffee while people start to ask their questions.
00:36:24
Let's see, sure hope our doesn't go out in my area recovering
00:36:27
from covid. I'm sorry to hear that.
00:36:30
It's supposed to be 105 and Sack today.
00:36:32
Yeah, we had covid a couple months ago, it's no joke.
00:36:37
I also think I had covid way back in the beginning.
00:36:42
I thought, you know, as a hipster way of saying it I had
00:36:45
covid before covid-19 thing. I had in January of 2020.
00:36:51
I'm pretty sure I had in January 2020.
00:36:52
I had all the symptoms. I couldn't taste, I can smell.
00:36:56
I, you know, I went and got like Mexican food.
00:36:58
I want to go to California burrito with the hottest sauce,
00:37:00
you could and nothing tasted. I was tired.
00:37:06
I was exhausted, I couldn't breathe.
00:37:07
So I think I had a way back then.
00:37:10
We had a couple months ago. It's no fun, you know?
00:37:13
It's just a, you get a lot of flu-like symptoms and nobody
00:37:16
wants the flu. I'm sick stinks.
00:37:19
So I feel for you if it's 105 and you're sitting there and you
00:37:23
don't feel well, that could be pretty bad.
00:37:28
My friends. Pretty sure she had it in
00:37:29
December 2019. Yeah, there's a lot of people
00:37:31
who talked about having it earlier than when we really shut
00:37:36
down. Is that kind of snuck in
00:37:39
probably around November, is when people were extinct in
00:37:41
that, it kind of got into the population.
00:37:46
How does the desalting plant actually work?
00:37:48
I don't know, to be honest, I think they take the water, they
00:37:53
have a process where they take all the salt out of it.
00:37:57
And then, I think you can use that salt.
00:37:59
Like, you can actually sell that salt as a commodity.
00:38:03
It's like, you can actually take it and sell that salt, and then
00:38:07
they just take that water and they sell it to people.
00:38:10
It's a high-pressure molecule filter.
00:38:12
There you go. A molecular filter.
00:38:14
Yeah. So there you go.
00:38:19
I'm sure you could look up like on YouTube how it actually works
00:38:23
but the point being is that it works.
00:38:26
They use it in Israel and they live in the middle of a desert
00:38:30
and it works for them. Now, granted Israel is not as
00:38:34
big as California, right? But that doesn't change the fact
00:38:39
that California can't still do it.
00:38:42
And I think they're starting to realize that there is this
00:38:46
technology there and it's the best solution that we have going
00:38:52
forward. And right now there's really not
00:38:57
much else Californian do. Unless I mean, unless the
00:39:01
population really decreases, which is definitely possible.
00:39:05
I mean, the way people have been leaving California, the
00:39:07
population could definitely be decreasing at a rapid rate, then
00:39:14
we're going to need water. You know, that's the bottom
00:39:17
line. California needs water.
00:39:19
It has its downsides. I know that there's some a
00:39:22
little a little bit issues with it but nothing is perfect.
00:39:25
There's absolutely nothing that's perfect.
00:39:28
We're all trying to figure out what's the perfect.
00:39:30
Solution. But I don't think they're
00:39:32
really, there's always going to be a downside to everything,
00:39:34
because when there's an action, there's always got to be a
00:39:36
reaction as Flex alert. Got me thinking That were
00:39:42
already suffering consequences of so many TVs plug to the grid
00:39:45
without the bandwidth to handle. Yeah, I think that's that's one
00:39:52
of those issues where they are pushing the.
00:39:57
They're pushing a lot of these Evie's, for example in the
00:40:00
inflation reduction act, they talk a lot about these Evie's
00:40:05
and these tax credits and how they're really going to promote
00:40:07
people getting Evie's and stuff like that.
00:40:11
And And that if you look at the language because they require
00:40:19
certain amount of the minerals and the compounds to come from
00:40:22
North America, they don't come from those areas and they won't
00:40:26
likely come from those areas. Meaning, a lot of those Eevee's
00:40:30
don't even exist and they won't likely exist.
00:40:33
So they get to tap out. Oh well, we're going to give a
00:40:35
75-hundred dollar tax credit to people who buy electric
00:40:39
vehicles. They don't exist.
00:40:43
That's cool. That would be like saying we're
00:40:45
going to give you a seventy five hundred dollar tax credit for
00:40:47
you owning a unicorn, unicorn don't exist, but thank you for
00:40:53
the tax credit on something that doesn't exist.
00:40:56
So if you have no clear path on the coast when wind and solar
00:40:59
carry the load during the day nuclear power, plants could be
00:41:03
distilling or powering desalination plants.
00:41:05
Yeah. And with all the issues we are
00:41:08
having with electrician covering, they want us to use
00:41:10
electric vehicles. Yeah, well, Thomas Massie, when
00:41:14
he was grilling Pete Budaj, I don't know if I talked about
00:41:17
this before, I may have talked about this before in a Committee
00:41:21
hearing basically said, do you know what?
00:41:23
It's like, how much power you have to add to have?
00:41:28
Somebody have an EV charger and charge their electric vehicle.
00:41:32
Is it basically? It's like adding 25
00:41:34
refrigerators to your house. Now, Imagine every household
00:41:38
adds 25 refrigerators to their house.
00:41:41
That's going to be a strain on the electrical grid.
00:41:44
And when he asked Pete, booty, judge, hey, how are we going to
00:41:49
do this? Do we have the great for this?
00:41:52
He basically said well no, but that means we have to get there.
00:41:58
Okay. Well, what's your plan on
00:42:00
getting there? Like do you have a plan or we
00:42:02
close to that plan? Or do we have the technology?
00:42:04
Like is it a year away? Is it two years away?
00:42:08
Well, they don't really have any idea.
00:42:09
They don't they just say really nice things.
00:42:11
They think it sounds really nice.
00:42:14
When do you know, most people recharge their cars during the
00:42:16
night when solar isn't available?
00:42:18
Well? I mean the idea is their idea is
00:42:20
that the solar panels are like batteries that would then, but
00:42:24
if the solar panel batteries run out, then you're going to get a
00:42:27
half charge on your car. So sorry, sucks to be you and
00:42:33
this push for EVS and electric vehicles and trucks.
00:42:36
And you know semi-trucks semis there's no There's not a lot of
00:42:41
infrastructure for charging electrical trucks and even
00:42:44
buying electrical trucks is even harder to do.
00:42:47
So, yeah, it's a that's, it's not realistic and again we're
00:42:55
coming back to this kind of conundrum that noodles is going
00:42:59
to be in if he wants to run for president in 2020, for which the
00:43:05
people of California might actually in a way benefit from
00:43:09
that, he has to move back towards the And stop being so
00:43:12
Lefty Looney is, he'll have to move back to the middle so that
00:43:16
he can set up credentials to run for president in 2020 for we all
00:43:20
know that that's what he's doing.
00:43:22
We all know. That's why he's doing it.
00:43:23
We all know that's what he's doing.
00:43:25
These dumb tick-tocks. We're going to talk about
00:43:26
tomorrow night and we're going to go in depth and kind of pick
00:43:30
apart all of his tick-tocks and it's truth tick-tocks.
00:43:33
And why is going after Red State Governors?
00:43:35
We know he's running for president, whether it's 2024 or
00:43:38
2028, it could actually benefit. Fit Californians in a way
00:43:42
because you may get a very moderate Gavin.
00:43:45
Newsom, who says, I'm going to figure out how to fix this.
00:43:48
I'm going to figure out how to fix this, whether he fixes it or
00:43:51
not, I doubt he will, it's nice. He showed up to this press
00:43:54
conference looking all ready to go, you know the old, you know,
00:43:58
suit no tie and no jacket. Kind of look sleeves rolled up
00:44:02
because, you know, here we are. We're going to get back to work.
00:44:07
It could help us in a way because he might actually
00:44:10
address some These issues and might actually help.
00:44:13
I will hold my breath though but it may help.
00:44:19
And then when he's president, he can do whatever the hell he
00:44:21
wants. No be as Lefty loony as
00:44:23
possible, which again could hurt the Democrats because their
00:44:27
party keeps lurching farther and farther left.
00:44:29
And the populace itself is not lurching, farther and farther.
00:44:32
Left of the populace is actually I believe staying more in the
00:44:35
middle if not moving more to the right when it comes to the
00:44:39
entire American population. Were all so yeah, we'll see what
00:44:44
happens with Gavin, Newsom, but I think he's going to run for
00:44:48
president and he's moving more towards the middle.
00:44:52
The newer trucks need to have super clean fuel though.
00:44:54
The high pressure fuel systems are very sensitive I'm an odd
00:45:00
topic question, you can, or if you'd like Fire away.
00:45:06
Excuse me. What is the new trash tax
00:45:12
proposed for San Diego? Oh, there they are.
00:45:17
I read about this a while ago. They are proposing that they're
00:45:23
going to tax people for picking up their trash, because they
00:45:29
don't think they're getting enough money or they're paying
00:45:33
the trash collectors enough money.
00:45:35
Now, keep in mind, there was just a strike with was it?
00:45:39
Alliance was the trash company, I think there's Alliance.
00:45:42
It was actually our trash company and we couldn't throw
00:45:44
out garbage for a long time. That's another thing.
00:45:47
When you can't throw garbage and your garbage, Art piling up,
00:45:50
that becomes an issue to people kind of get really pissed off
00:45:53
about that stuff but I guess they feel like they're not
00:45:57
making enough money. So Republic.
00:45:59
Thank you Republic. Was the one that went on strike
00:46:02
for a couple weeks and it made it really hard but yeah, they
00:46:06
want to tax people for trash pickup because they need to pay
00:46:11
the trash companies more money. What you know, trash companies,
00:46:15
really, they can hold the city hostage whenever they want, they
00:46:18
can just say, well we're not. Not going to pick up a trash
00:46:20
although there are contracts, there are contracts and you
00:46:24
can't just stop, you know, if you agree to a certain price and
00:46:29
that's in the contract. You can't just stop picking up
00:46:33
because you don't think you're being paid enough money.
00:46:35
I mean, that's the point of signing a contract.
00:46:36
Did you lock in these rates and you lock in that stuff?
00:46:39
So, but that's an interesting. So I read about it.
00:46:43
A while ago, and I just kind of shook my head and said, you
00:46:46
know, great, another tax in San Diego for now trash because I
00:46:50
thought we already paid for trash.
00:46:54
I remember when we burn trash, I remember when people used to do
00:46:57
that too, they get the big old drums and they throw trash in
00:47:00
the drum, and they do that. And that was how people get rid
00:47:06
of it. I remember when people back
00:47:08
East, when they would rake their leaves and they would throw all
00:47:12
their leaves in the big drum and they like the drum on fire, so
00:47:15
they could get rid of the leaves.
00:47:16
Can't do that anymore. Now that was that was an
00:47:18
old-school thing to throw all your leaves in the drum.
00:47:24
And yeah, they would just burn the leaves, there's trash tax
00:47:29
chatter in San Francisco, not sure how legit.
00:47:33
I mean I got to think about California's they find a tax for
00:47:36
literally everything, and whether they need it or not,
00:47:39
they're going to find a tax because they kind of just check
00:47:41
off the box and the like do we tax this?
00:47:43
No, we don't tax this great. We're going to tax this.
00:47:46
Do we tax this? No, we don't.
00:47:48
Okay, we should Texas. There's a trash burning power,
00:47:51
plant Long Beach, and out in Mecca.
00:47:54
I mean they do burn some trash but that's like we're talking
00:47:59
about like when people used to actually burn trash like they
00:48:02
would just go out and burn their own trash.
00:48:04
Any thoughts on California's dfta changing their name to the
00:48:07
Civil Rights Department? I didn't even hear about that.
00:48:11
What is a civil rights department?
00:48:13
And and I don't trust, I really don't trust the state of
00:48:17
California to do. Herman.
00:48:20
What are my civil rights? That's for damn, sure.
00:48:23
I certainly don't trust them to figure out because yeah, it's
00:48:29
going to be I mean, it's just going to be there what their
00:48:34
imagination of a civil, right? Is, if they if they don't
00:48:36
believe your rights are your to own a firearm, what makes you
00:48:40
think that they're your they're actually going to recognize any
00:48:44
of your rights. They're going to tell you what
00:48:45
rights they believe, you know, the rights of teachers to teach
00:48:50
your kids about transgenderism and stuff like that, but they're
00:48:54
not going to get get it right on what your actual rights are,
00:48:57
what your natural god-given rights are but that's
00:49:04
interesting of the looking to why they want to start a civil
00:49:07
rights Department, anytime the government gets into these
00:49:12
phrase, like misinformation department, and when they
00:49:21
determine what is information, what is misinformation or what
00:49:25
are your civil rights and what aren't your civil rights that
00:49:30
Scary because that's not the point of government.
00:49:33
That was never the point of government was to determine what
00:49:37
your rights are. The founders always believed
00:49:41
that you would have to that these rights are natural and
00:49:46
unalienable meeting that come from nature and they come from
00:49:49
God. The government is just there to
00:49:52
make sure that those rights are protected.
00:49:54
So I'm now something happened with my computer.
00:50:02
A new computer that's that's for dang sure.
00:50:05
I need a new computer because this one is freezing up a lot
00:50:09
more you know you get a flash eat Microsoft Surface and it
00:50:16
lasts for last for a couple years.
00:50:18
So Oh, geez, what is going on here?
00:50:23
Anyway, keep talking away. I'm trying to log back into my
00:50:25
computer, which decided to lock it.
00:50:29
Any new updates on news and blocking UCLA from women of the
00:50:31
Big Ten haven't fallen while, but love watching noodles.
00:50:33
Clutches pearls over. I mean, he made a statement I
00:50:37
haven't seen any action. He's actually taken so All
00:50:43
right, final questions. Got a couple more minutes before
00:50:46
we log off for the day. Again, tomorrow night going to
00:50:48
be going over all of. Well, not all of we're going to
00:50:52
go sort of over a lot of the truth, tick-tocks of noodles and
00:50:58
kind of go through them because he has a bunch of them now.
00:50:59
He's been putting them out pretty regularly and as much as
00:51:02
I like to do the reels and the tick-tocks that were about him,
00:51:08
you can't really dissect it in. 50 seconds, you Do the best you
00:51:13
can but there's a lot of there's a lot of stuffing.
00:51:17
When are we going shooting whatever?
00:51:20
Man whenever you want? You know gotta gotta send some
00:51:27
Freedom seeds downrange you know.
00:51:30
Gotta keep practicing. So, is there any that
00:51:37
unconstitutional? But having illegals, become
00:51:39
police officer this recent Bill, really irks me?
00:51:45
I don't think so. I mean, are you saying
00:51:48
non-citizens? Are you saying illegal, aliens
00:51:52
mean they are here? if they're like, if they don't
00:51:58
have any green card, if they only bees or anything like that,
00:52:02
If I haven't seen the story. So I don't know what what you're
00:52:05
specifically talking about. But if someone with a green
00:52:08
card, if someone who's gone through a little bit of a
00:52:10
process, I don't know. Like, if you're asking, if like
00:52:14
a refugee walks across the border and has no papers or
00:52:17
anything like that and all of a sudden says, Hey, I want to be a
00:52:19
police officer probably have an issue with that, you know,
00:52:22
because you're not technically a legal citizen.
00:52:26
Why should you be a police officer?
00:52:28
So But I would look in, you know, I haven't read the
00:52:33
article, I would want to look into its non-citizen now.
00:52:37
Is it a non-citizen who has legal status?
00:52:43
That would be, that's kind of how we have to figure it out.
00:52:47
So, I mean, there's plenty of people who are non-citizens,
00:52:50
who, Yeah, they're people who have work visas, and they work
00:52:58
and all different areas. But it's non-citizens people,
00:53:03
think you and occupation. No, I would probably say it's
00:53:11
most likely. They're probably doing this
00:53:14
because of the backlash because of 2020 in the hole, deep on the
00:53:17
police and all that stuff. And we're starting to see the
00:53:20
the ramifications of that in the mandates and all that stuff.
00:53:23
I mean, San Diego City lost like 200 officers, so they're
00:53:30
probably looking at and trying to figure out ways to recruit
00:53:33
people to come into. The police department that may
00:53:39
be one way they're doing is just saying, well, we're going to
00:53:42
open up the pool of people who can come apply, because they're
00:53:44
looking for people, they're just the sheriff's department is
00:53:46
dying for people, the San Diego City.
00:53:48
Police Department is dying for people, so they're probably just
00:53:52
trying to figure out how can we get more people to apply and
00:53:55
become police officers, but I think it has to do.
00:53:59
You have to have a Visa, you have to have some sort of legal
00:54:01
paperwork. It's not again, it's not people
00:54:03
were just like crossing the border from Moana and being
00:54:06
like, you know, walking into San Diego City.
00:54:10
Police Department going, hey, I want to become a police officer.
00:54:14
I'm all for defund the police of California, moved towards being
00:54:16
a constant. Well yeah, I mean the
00:54:18
Constitutional carry. I don't think is going to happen
00:54:20
here. The big worry is SB 918 and
00:54:23
hopefully we'll be able to even carry at all.
00:54:27
I personally believe that it is going to be struck down in
00:54:33
court, but they're going to try it and they're going to try.
00:54:36
As much as they're going to, they're going to try and get rid
00:54:40
of your carry rights as much as possible.
00:54:42
So yeah. Arm the people.
00:54:50
Yeah, nobody wants to join. The military military is down.
00:54:53
Nobody wants to be a police. Officer police officer down.
00:55:00
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They need some sort of work
00:55:02
authorization. They can't just show up from a
00:55:05
different country that can show from Ecuador and be like, hey, I
00:55:07
want to be a police officer like no, you have to have some sort
00:55:08
of paperwork. Now with the new CDC guilin
00:55:13
Cheney, they should allow those to get their job back.
00:55:18
Yeah I mean I agree. I think if it's no longer a CDC
00:55:23
issue then all of these people who left because of mandates
00:55:28
should be Should be right back because, you know, they're not
00:55:35
following science, right? If I don't follow if the state
00:55:40
doesn't file a federal law that I don't have to follow state
00:55:42
law, right? Well I mean we could all Civil
00:55:48
Disobedience. But I actually like the fact
00:55:51
when states don't follow federal law, which is helpful because
00:55:54
you have States like Florida and South Dakota and stays like that
00:55:58
which are pushing back and they don't follow federal law.
00:56:02
That's what you want, you want the state's kind of at odds,
00:56:04
with the federal government and checking the federal government
00:56:07
being like, nope, we're not going to listen to you.
00:56:08
That's nullification right there, 101.
00:56:11
I keep saying, I want to do a whole episode.
00:56:13
I want nullification is but Trying to work it in with a
00:56:16
California angle, how would nullification work?
00:56:19
