California Crime Surge: The True Cost of Rising Gas Prices

California is at a tipping point, facing a surge in smash-and-grab robberies, organized retail crime, and skyrocketing gas prices. In this episode, we explore how Proposition 36 seeks to toughen penalties for retail theft and drug trafficking-but is it the right solution, or does it risk increasing mass incarceration? Business owners are feeling the strain, locking up products to prevent theft, while Prop 36 could restore harsher penalties for repeat offenders. But not everyone is on board. Governor Gavin Newsom believes the measure is too punitive and may unfairly target black and brown communities.

Beyond crime, California's drivers are also feeling the heat. With new refinery regulations on the horizon, gas prices could jump another $0.65 per gallon, keeping prices above $5 for the foreseeable future. Is it time for Californians to make the switch to electric vehicles, or will power shortages make that impossible too?
