Description

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger reveal that California has only six weeks of oil supply left if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed — nevertheless, state energy officials admitted that they have "no emergency plan" and that any contingency strategy is "proprietary" and "legally cannot be made public.” This despite California being the fifth-largest economy in the world and surrounded by offshore oil wells. Jimmy notes that the United States is the world's top oil producer (13 million barrels per day) and a net exporter of petroleum, yet California relies on imported fuel because refineries are optimized for heavy crude and because state policies have closed refineries to push the "green energy grift." He points out that after six weeks, gas prices in California—already averaging $6.14 per gallon—will rise further until "demand comes down," meaning people simply won't be able to afford to drive, which will throw the state into a recession and make electric vehicles impossible since the grid lacks capacity. He concludes that the 1970s oil crisis was caused by Israel's Yom Kippur War, that every time Israel acts up gas prices spike, and that the state's incompetence is intentional—to push people into 15-minute cities, seize land after fires, and force dependence on UBI and surveillance.
