Summary

The John Kobylt Show Hour 2 (05/29) - John converses with USC Professor Michael Mische, who explains how California’s sky-high gas prices—and the looming $8.50 per gallon—are the direct result of CARB’s extreme regulations, refinery closures, and the absurdity of importing dirty fuel from overseas. Plus, John blasts the $1.3 billion wasted on empty homeless housing, recounts how California went from 30 refineries to just eight, and rips into the failed San Francisco “equity grading” experiment. Later, John reacts to Rick Caruso’s Palisades mall reopening and a Swiss village that was buried—then flooded—after a glacier collapse.
