But that's not all - we're also discussing the California Energy Commission's decision to remove 70% of tires from the market, forcing consumers to buy more expensive "green" tires. And let's just say it's not looking good for the people of California. We're also talking about the people mover at LAX, which is still not operational despite being finished years ago. It's a classic example of government inefficiency and waste, and we're breaking down the details. And if that's not enough, we're also discussing a bizarre incident on an Orange County bus, where a man was caught doing something that's just not acceptable in public. So if you want to hear more about these stories and get the inside scoop on what's really going on in California, tune in to this episode of the John Phillips Show.

    Watch This CA Official Try to Justify Banning Your Tires

    This episode of the John Phillips Show is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the latest attempt by California's unelected bureaucrats to control every aspect of our lives. The state's Energy Commission has decided to regulate tires like appliances, effectively taking away 70% of the options available to consumers. This move is part of a broader trend of over-regulation that's making life more expensive for Californians. The speaker delves into the details of this new standard, which will supposedly save consumers money in the long run, but will actually increase the upfront cost of buying tires. The discussion touches on the fact that this regulation is not supported by the majority of the tire industry, and that the benefits it's supposed to bring are questionable. The speaker also highlights the absurdity of comparing tires to appliances, and the potential consequences of this regulation on the state's economy. The conversation also explores the idea that this regulation is part of a larger pattern of the state's government trying to control every aspect of our lives, from what we drive to what we buy. The speaker notes that this is not a pro-consumer move, but rather a way for the state to dictate what's best for us. The discussion also touches on the fact that this regulation will disproportionately affect low-income communities and small businesses. If you're concerned about the direction California is heading and the impact it's having on your wallet, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear the full discussion and learn more about the implications of this regulation on the state's economy and its citizens. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
