In the Bay Area, we're now shipping it in on giant supertankers, the most polluting form of transportation on the planet.

They run on bunker fuel, which is like the most dirty, spewing out carbon emissions.

Our number one supplier of oil now, it used to be California, used to be from here, is Iraq.

where they produce it in a terrible, dirty way, terrible human rights record, but that's what we're now doing.

And also our gas prices, we have abundant oil reserves, now higher, the highest in the country, higher than Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

It's just insane, right?

And again, I want to come back to the, you know, the man of the people point.

Yes, because the first pledge I made in the election campaign, I mean, I've been working on all this stuff for years, but as a candidate, it was $3 gas, which to some people around, I mean, may not mean much if you're not watching in California, but like we have, it's $5 and it's heading up to $6 and $7 because refineries are closing because of all of this.

And

That really hurts regular working people who are driving two, three, four hours a day to get to and from work because in their cars and trucks, that's like $100 or so a month that you save with $3 gas.

How will I get that done?

Actually, you put people into these agencies, the Air Resources Board, to be very precise, in terms of oil and gas production, CalGEM, Geologic and Energy Management, and the way they're shutting down the California oil and gas industry, there's no legislation that did that.

It's the bureaucrats in that agency who are refusing to issue permits to maintain existing wells, to expand them, to drill new wells in existing oil fields.

All of that can change almost overnight.

So I can't do everything, but if you understand how the government works and you really have a detailed plan, a little bit like Trump,

this time around compared to the first trump administration this time they were really well prepared and they kind of knew what they wanted to do the people they wanted to put in the executive orders all of that so that's so on not on everything but on a lot of these things you can make a big difference i'll just quickly do homelessness because you asked about that so

The thing about homelessness is that it's totally avoidable.

It should never have happened.

It's completely avoidable.

And the way I always put it is we would never allow someone we love to live like that.
