| Harris says she's not for electric vehicle mandates. | |
| And it's a lie. | |
| Because it's technically true, but it's a lie. | |
| Because she has the EPA enforce the mandate, so they don't have to pass a mandate. | |
| Reading to you here from the Wall Street Journal. | |
| The emission standards are especially punitive for U.S. manufacturers that mostly sell trucks and SUVs. | |
| Companies will effectively have to produce one to two electric trucks for every gas-powered one in 2027 and closer to four to one by 2032. So in other words, 2027, that's almost two years from now. | |
| That for every gas power truck, American companies, but she's against mandates, get it? | |
| She's not for mandates. | |
| But they'll have to do this. | |
| And Trump and the Republicans are the threat to democracy, not the EPA, which nobody elected and can't pass laws, but it mandates this. | |
| There's no question they'll go out of business. | |
| There's no question. | |
| This is a gift to China, which is massively invested in electrical vehicles because it knows that the West is committing suicide. | |
| Yeah, you mine all the precious metals and other metals that you need to make batteries for electric cars, China. | |
| You do that. | |
| And we'll make sure that... | |
| We can compete. | |
| Americans, like me, don't want an electric vehicle. | |
| Okay? | |
| 7% do. | |
| God bless them. | |
| That's the whole point of freedom. | |
| So what is... | |
| I don't understand. | |
| Seriously, what is General Motors going to do in two years if they have to produce two electric trucks for every gas-powered truck? | |
| what's going to happen? | |
| That means that a substantial percentage of the vehicles they produce they will not be able to sell. | |
| Well, When that happens, you have the overhead of making a truck with none of the revenue of selling it. | |
| You go out of business. | |
| Electric trucks cost much more to produce than sedans since they require much bigger batteries. | |
| Ford lost $44,000 on every electric vehicle sold in the second quarter, which is more than some of its trucks retail for. | |
| Automakers are scaling back EV investment. | |
| amid slowing demand. | |
| Ford announced last month it is canceling production of an electric SUV and delaying an electric pickup. | |
| I just got an SUV this weekend. | |
| And for the first time in my memory, I don't know, The last time I remember doing this, I was in my 20s. | |
| I bought it. | |
| I didn't lease it. | |
| And the reason is, I know how precious this will be. | |
| A gas-powered SUV? Oh my God, it'll be like gold in a few years. | |
| Because of the left. | |
| So it is. ... | |
| I just saw a picture of a Tim Walz rally. | |
| And you know what sign people behind him were carrying so that the cameras would see it? | |
| They were all carrying, and the Democratic Party gives it to people at any of these rallies. | |
| they were all carrying a sign that read freedom. | |
| The moral inversion that I read to you about in the Western world, that is a perfect example. | |
| people. | |
| The left has never been for freedom anywhere on earth since 1917 in the Russian Revolution. | |
| Never! | |
| There is no example of the left increasing freedom. | |
| Liberals are for freedom. | |
| Conservatives are for freedom. | |
| The left... | |
| Is against freedom. | |
| Look at Lula in Brazil. | |
| Look at Maduro in Venezuela. | |
| Not to mention the communists and socialists and others. | |
| Freedom never expands. | |
| It's not a left-wing value. | |
| Just as truth is not. | |
| Freedom. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| The Democratic Party. | |
| But they assumed they could fool vast numbers of Americans, and my sad conclusion is that they're right. | |
| Oh, Democrats are waving a sign that says freedom. |
