Is considering requiring.
One in seven -- 15% of all cars on the road it.
To be electric -- -- plug in all plug in hybrid is that correct.
Yeah that's correct Stewart and it you know if if you think it's crazy and and if you can't see me on the screen right now that's because technology California's not quite up to Governor Brown standards and theory you know it it it's unbelievable.
That we would even think you're doing that what this is going to be it's just simply a tax.
Automobile -- that's gonna be passed -- to the average Joseph who can't find a job you know what here we've got two and a half 1000003 million people out of work.
And it's gonna drive more people out of the state of California.
Now is this if you're a -- assemblage -- Do you get to vote on this always this going to be imposed by some form of regulatory bureaucracy.
That that's a great question we don't get to vote on that.
This this is part of Governor Schwarzenegger member of the terminator.
He's trying to terminate job CPCs he keep his plan was to terminate greenhouse gases that's that's.
The global warming solutions act of 2006.
Is what authorizes.
The car -- board that's California Air Resources Board.
To impose this regulation the legislature has no say over so -- we can't stand up and speak her heart constituents.
-- that he that this board is appointed by the governor.
It's okay so is that is that no way around this is that no way that the people of California.
Should they wish to defeat this could in fact defeated.
Well they're gonna they're they're gonna hold a bunch of hearings but they hearings are going to be a sham weeks we've seen this -- AB 32 which.
Which is the -- potentially what's gonna bring cap and trade this year so we're we're going to have a -- California based.
Cap and trade program that's gonna drive up the cost of fuel to astronomical amounts once again attacks on the middle class.
It in the working poor and our state.
And in the people will have no say in it whatsoever but here's the thing.
Governor Brown he could actually push one but they -- signed one document in suspend all of this.
Until we get unemployment under control you know.
And Amanda did you know he's gonna do that you don't think the -- Monday we'll do that.
So I don't I've talked to about this many times that he he refuses to go against these extreme environmentalists.
It I I call this 21 century cheering -- and I called Jerry Brown the jolly Green hi -- Are you still innocent child is still losing middle class people in California this to -- Now where we're where we're driving people out of the state we're driving businesses out of the state at a record rate four times what we were doing over the last two years.
And if revenues.
Are -- actually recovered a little bit would be lower taxes last year.
That we each other wanna get regulations under control and that's really the key to -- to restoring apparently -- of those climate.
We need fewer regulations and in this is a long time this is about as Smart as creating an -- -- a college fund for illegals.
-- -- -- -- A law as the same as creating a 98 billion dollars superfast high speed rail system from the -- -- the -- look we're at a time.
