VINCE · Don't Be Stupid, Thune! | Episode 340 · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

They could be getting it all domestically.

But they were, again, shutting down their own oil industry in California.

They used to be one of the top two or three producing states.

Now they're not even in the top 10.

They have shut down refineries.

They used to have 35 refineries.

Now they went from eight to seven to six.

Right now it's happening.

They're going to be down to six.

so they're short of refining capacity.

So not only are they importing oil every day, about 25% of the gasoline consumed in the Golden State, which has more internal combustion vehicles than any other state, the state that was going to go all electric, they have more internal combustion vehicles than any other state.

they're importing 25% of their gasoline.

So if you have a one in four chance or one fourth of your gallons, I want to think about it, when you're filling up in California, it was probably refined somewhere on the other side of the planet and then shipped here in a boat.

So there's no saving the environment when you use foreign oil and foreign refinery

and then you send it belching across the Pacific to get here to put in your tank.

So the whole policy is folly.

It's not helping the environment.

All it's doing is raising prices on Californians.

And so when we talk about the average price of gasoline in America as a metric, it is 50 cents higher for gas on average in every blue state versus every red state.

So if you want a tip and you want lower gasoline, drive across the border
