- Apocalypse Ventures: Morning, the following audio transmission will forever change your album society. You will no longer believe the narrative. You are about to wake up and see things for what they really are. News, facts, and opinions. This is the Doom Daily Show. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Doom Daily Show. I am your host, Jester Dooms. Today is September twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-six. Monday morning. Good morning, everybody. The email, Doom Daily Show at gmail.com. Everywhere on social media at Jester Dooms. The website www.gesturesvoice.com. Anyway, yeah. Happy Monday morning. I hope everything is going well. I hope everything is going well as I am just in distraction mode. It's been a it's been a weekend here on the homestead. Tried to do a couple lives over the weekend on the Diggy Dicky Talk, and it's kind of like service is in and out, right? And I don't like to activate the the backup Starlink for you know one l night of going live, right? It's just it's not. It's not worth it. So attempted to do a couple lives, and it's like you have good sell signal, then you don't have good sell signal, then you have it, then you don't, and you might move five feet and it's gone. And I'm like kind of wondering like for anybody out there that is very, you know, into the know as far as cell signal goes and stuff like that, what would cause service to go in and out sporadically in one area? Jumping from 4G to 5G to go from four. Bars of 5G down to like one and then the 4G and then like barely any connectivity back to being like normal again and almost full service. We're in the middle of the woods in a valley. Cell towers don't move around. Now I did have some thoughts on this, and I have no idea. This is all just speculation. But I'm assuming these 5G signals. 4G signals. They they do get blocked by things. They do ping pong off things. Like they there are things that inhibit them, right? The only thing that I can think, and this is the only logical thing in my mind, is that it's just based on the freaking wind. Wind blows in one direction, the leaves on the trees go this way, and we get some signal, and then it blows the other way, and the leaves are facing the other way, and then we don't get signal. I don't know. That's The only assumption I can come to is it's just the wind changing the direction of the trees or ⁓ causing them to move more, causing them to move less. Right. If the trees are moving back and forth, the signal's getting through, but it is sporadic. But then when there's no wind at all, nothing's moving and the signal's blocked. I I don't know. Just very, very bizarre. Anyway, until we have phones that are fully satellite connected, which I don't think that that's gonna be a thing anytime. Soon. I I thought it was for a while, but then you kind of start having to think about how inhibited we all are with just being outside to catch a satellite signal on a cell phone. Right. Like I live in a house that has a metal roof. Most buildings have metal roofs nowadays. Like, you know, pretty much all a lot of these newer constructed homes are all getting switched to metal roofs. If somebody's had a conventional roof for years and they replace it, they're going with galvolum or something. This inhibits the cell signal. And then people working in office buildings all day. I mean, they're they're basically in Faraday cages. I mean, the damn near, it's all concrete and steel and and everything else. I mean, there's no way to get a s a satellite signal out of there. So I don't see us switching anytime soon. But yeah, I just thought it was very just very bizarre that the signal was in and out so much and it's just so sporadic. Sometimes you restart your phone and it helps and you get the signal back, which I thought is also weird. Like why would you have to restart your phone? Now there's there is some other logic to this. Maybe. Another thought I had was, you know, maybe if there's a lot of people on the five G network, it becomes a weaker signal. And then you start catching the four G. And it's just dependent on how many people are like streaming or on that, you know, connected to that same tower kind of thing. I don't know. Yeah, we spent ⁓ our time down in the woods having fires. We ended up cooking on the fire Friday night. That was fun. And we went back down Saturday night and just hung out, attempted to do the live. Wasn't too fantastic. Tried to do a live down there yesterday during the day. And again, same issue as far as the cell signal goes. Yeah. So The long and the short is maybe once we start, and this is the conclusion that we came to. Maybe once more trees come down and the, you know, there's just like less clogging, less undergrowth, like the wilderness is more open, maybe we will get better sell signal. Maybe it will be a thing. We don't know yet, but maybe. Or maybe they'll put up a tower that's a little closer and we'll get. ⁓ signal down there that you can actually live stream on. That would be pretty fantastic. I think that would be really kick ass. But anyway, we'll be right back after these messages. Facts and opinions. This is the Doom Dale. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Doom Daily Show.

Now, something I wanted to talk about on today's show. What you think about this as you're driving to work in your car. Trump says new fuel economy standards approved, ending Biden EV mandate. By Jeremy Lott on the Epic Times. President Donald Trump announced on september twenty sixth that he had approved new federal fuel economy standards, which would end a mandate that had pushed an increasing percentage of the American vehicle fleet to be electric. In the True Social Post, he also criticized President Joe Biden, then Transportation Secretary Pete Budit, I can't say this guy's name, but it giggig but it But a gig, B U T T, I G I E G in the Democratic Party, which polls currently predict will do well in the midterm elections in November. The Department of Transportation did not elaborate on the standards mentioned in the president's post, although Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on in a post on X that a major victory for America's auto workers is coming Monday, which is today. So, you know, stay tuned. EVs in manufacturing. The Biden administration did not adopt an explicit EV mandate. Instead, it adopted new emission standards that required a large portion of the American fleet to be electric. American electric vehicle EV automaker Tesla was and remains quite profitable with a current market cap north of $1.4 trillion. However, Detroit's three major automakers, 4GM and Stallantis, expanded their EV lines to meet the Biden era standard and included and incurred heavy losses, they have right they have write downs of about $50 billion so far. $50 billion. As for EV charging stations, the National Electrical Vehicle Infrastructure NEVI program was enacted by Congress in 2021. As part of the Infrastructure Investment Jobs Act, the program made $7.5 billion available to thousands of electric charging stations among aiming to install more than 30,000 charging ports across the country. A June 2026 Congressional Research Service report found results in the hundreds, not in the thousands. It stated that 183 NEVI funded charging stations had opened across 20 states. That's that's pretty fucking shy of 30,000 charging stations. So where what happened to the 7.5 billion available to build those? Trump also said that the new standards would strip regulatory waste from the cost of building cars in the United States. This would mean lower prices and increased domestic car manufacturing, Trump said. Every manufacturer from General Motors to Ford to Stellantis, he called me, called me wanting to build here, and now they can, Trump wrote. The president said that more than 100 billion dollars in new investments is currently being used to build out domestic auto manufacturing. The plants are coming back and jobs are returning to Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, and all over the country, Trump wrote. He thanked Duffy and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for their work. Hmm. Okay, so break break some things down real quick. I think everybody that's ever listened to this show ever knows my stance on electric vehicles. They have a place. And it's on the golf course. That's about it. I do not see electric vehicles playing a part in our future society. Manufacturing is too much. There's a lot of waste. You're still at bay to fossil fuels for manufacturing, mining, production. It just it's when you break this down to what it actually is, it's not saving the environment. It's doing more fucking damage than people. want to admit and or realize. That's the whole thing. You need shit tons of diesel to mine the lithium needed for the batteries. Then you need oil to move this shit on ships to the manufacturing plants. And then you need trucks full of diesel to move it from ports to plants. And then you can manufacture your batteries. Okay. Not to mention the beginning process of this destroyed so many hundreds of thousands of acres to To fucking mine the lithium and the cobalt that's needed for these things. Okay. And then you finally make it to the manufacturing facility to build these batteries for these EVs. Okay. Finally. It's finally there. You get them done. Well, now they have to be shipped off to the manufacturer. So now back on the truck, burning up diesel fuel, getting them where they need to go, or potentially flying them by cargo or shipping them across the sea, whatever, more fossil fuels being burnt up for the production of this. And then you're installing them in your EVs. Now, the beauty of it all is these are still being powered by the grid for the most part. Unless somebody has a full off-the-grid solar powered home or they're reliant on wind energy wherever they're at, I mean that that's it. Like that's you're still using an alternative power source that's potentially bad for the environment either way. And this car took so much more fossil fuels to produce. That's the The thing that people don't don't realize with this. And by setting a standard that says everybody has to have EV vehicles, it's like, well, cool. What happens like? Because your big bitch now is we're going to run out of fossil fuels and bad for the environment, whatever. What happens when you strip mine the entire fucking earth and we're out of the lithium or you're out of the cobalt? What happens then? You're back to the drawing board. You're back at square one. You're going back to gasoline vehicles because that's what Fucking works. So the problem is, and nobody wants to admit this. We've built a society around combustion engines. Like everything we do is built around this. Okay. So you can't it's it's really hard to unfuck ourselves now because we've based our entire existence off having these. So if we don't have them now, we're fucked. Your Tesla's cute, but it's not the answer. Now I'll tell you what I do think is the answer. That's what I do think is the answer. I do think the answer is diesel over electric. I think that's the fucking answer. Are you still gonna use fossil fuels? Yes. Are you going to use shit tons like you were before? No. Do you need to have this big giant storage battery that you have to shrip mine to Earth to get the materials for? No, you don't. You don't. Anyway, be right back after these messages. Can't get enough of Jester Dooms? Check out his other show, It's Doomsday Podcast, available on all podcast platforms. That's It's Doomsday Podcast. Back to the show. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Doom Daily Show. I am your host, Jester Dooms, the email Doom Daily Show at gmail.com. Send me a picture of your Tesla. Okay. I have another issue with automobiles in general, whether it's electric or gas. And it's the amount of plastic that's being used on these vehicles. ⁓ Now, plastic is a petroleum byproduct derived from the crude oil and all the things, okay, all the fossil fuels to make plastic. All right. So On the electric cars, so much is made from plastic. So as they say they're ⁓ they're saving the environment, they're doing this, the other, they're still building the car from a fucking fossil fuel. It's still happening. If you were able to produce a car with absolutely no fossil fuels being made whatsoever, like no fossil fuels are used in the production of this vehicle in any capacity. You've got, you know, solar excavators digging the cobalt and The lithium, you've got solar trucks shipping it, solar boats getting it across the sea, and everything else, and nothing's made from fucking plastic, and they're even being hauled from the manufacturer to the dealer by solar powered trucks. Okay, okay, maybe I can get on board and say, okay, yeah, this one manufacturer is the only one that's bypassing the fossil fuels altogether and producing a good vehicle. But they're not getting away from it. They're just making more dependency on it. But you gotta ask you you gotta ask this question, ladies and gentlemen. And this is the big thing. It said in this article that there was what seven point one billion trillion something set aside for these EV stations, and none of them went in. Where the fuck did that money go? Like where did it go? Okay, not only that, not only where did it go, but a lot of the EV charging stations that I see are in public areas, not private, like corporate areas. necessarily. So you can go to like a public park or a trailhead or like an upscale, you know, outdoor place for the family and the kids, you know, and these are like state and county funded. And you will sometimes see the EV charging stations there. Okay. Those are state and county funded. All right. Now, fast forward, flip back, you know, the other way. Even large gas station chains aren't When they're building new gas stations, they're not putting in EV stations there. It's it's non-profitable. Now, I'm sure that, you know, there are ones out there that they charge you for, you know, you have to pay money to use them and things like that. So I'm sure that some of them are turning profits. You know, that's the point for a business is to make money. But at the end of the day, I'm not seeing many fucking gas stations installing the EV chargers. Okay. Now, the other thing is I have seen specific Tesla like I don't want to call it a Tesla station, but you'll have a gas station or a convenience store, and then right next door you'll have like lines of Tesla chargers set up. And it's like, hmm, that's interesting. Who funded that? Did this convenience store buy all these and put these in? Did Tesla cut a deal because they can bill when these things are getting used? Like what's what's the gambit here? Like what's who's paying for what? But the fact of the matter is that. You're not seeing these things pop up everywhere. But privatized, you kind of are. Like if you work at a I don't know, you work in an office building or you work at an insurance company or wherever, like corporate America, you know, like these privatized businesses, like they're doing this for their workers, not for the general public. So maybe there's a maybe there's ⁓ an independent office that that, you know, has a hundred and fifty employees working there. You might see like three or four of these things pop up in the front of the parking lot for their employees to utilize. But that's it. Now, I've also been very curious about something. The people that live in apartment complexes, they can't just run an extension cord from their, you know, from their apartment to their car through the grass and shit, like to go charge their EV. And I know that some apartment complexes are in fact adding. EV stations. I know there are some theme parks out there that are adding these things. But again, these are all like private. They're not government. But I've been curious about the apartment complex thing because the people that live in the apartments or the townhouses that, you know, that are renting that can't install a Tesla charger or can't do anything, like are they only able to charge these at work, only able to charge these out? And then how much time does that take out of your day sitting there waiting for this thing to charge? And then I heard I heard another I heard somebody talking about this. I don't remember who it was or where I heard it, but they said that if the entire nation switched over to EVs, that the nation's power grid would not be able to sustain it. It is not physically possible. And on that note, it's not possible for 50% of people to switch and it be supported by the grid. Now, before you say to yourself, well, dooms, there's this, there's that, these things are regulated, they have so much draw, blah, blah, blah. Okay, cool. Does anybody remember being at home ⁓ during COVID and like power companies going nuts because there was such a draw on the residential grid? Now power grids are an interesting thing, and I'm not an electrical engineer and I'm not an electrician, and I don't know much about a lot, but this is what I do know. It's not one massive grid for the entire US. Like people in California are not sharing the same power as people in Florida. It's a different system. They're not connected. If power goes out in California, they're good in Florida. If it goes out in Florida, they're good in California. It's not connected. Okay. Now, with that being said, there's a lot of communities that have different power sources depending on where they're at. Okay. So like out in Vegas, I'm pretty sure it's all like out there, I'm pretty damn sure it's all hydropower. Okay. Now you go certain places up in the mountainous areas. you know, where they're getting like good winds and like out in the west, they have a lot of wind turbines for power. Okay. So two totally separate, totally separate things. You go over to China, I believe it's China that's leading the way with solar power right now. Now in the states we use a lot of solar to supplement, but we're not we don't have one gigantic solar grid system that's powering particular states or areas or or municipalities. And then You know, you have a lot of nuclear power going on that nobody seems to talk about. Everybody's like scared of that conversation. And then you also have coal-fired power as well, like the boilers and the steam, the big steam stacks that you see. That could be from the nuclear or it could be from the the coal, from the boilers. And you know that smell, like that coal smoke mixed with the steam. You know that smell. It's not it's not very pleasant right off the rip. So when we were at home during COVID, there was concerns for the grid 'cause so many people were at home running up the power bill. And it was around it was shortly after that people started talking about, you know, with the with the EV mandates and, you know, everything switching over and this crazy conversation that, you know, and God, I I hated car salesmen at this time and or anybody that was in the automotive field that pushed car sales, right? Or or worked at a dealer or whatever. It was like, ⁓ yeah, everything's going to electric by 2030. Everything's going to electric by 2030. And I'm like, it can't. And they're like, ⁓ well, the government's gonna say it has to. I was like, that's cool. It can't. They're what do you what do you mean it can't? I'm like, not everybody can afford to go buy a new fucking vehicle. There's families out there that can only afford the $500 shit box. And when that one breaks, they buy a new one. And if it makes it a year, they don't care because they can't afford to buy something better. There's people out there that have shit credit that are living paycheck to paycheck. They're not going out and buying a $60,000 electric vehicle. It's not fucking happening. And then, so on one hand, you have ⁓ a a group of people around the United States who simply cannot afford to do this. Even if the government tells them they have to, they fucking can't because they don't have the means. Then you have the flip side, like the the spectrum that I'm in, where I don't fucking want one. And I'm not going to buy one. And I am not going to go out and finance a vehicle and pay a payment on something and pay to insure something that I don't want. I don't want it. I don't. At fucking all. So you as the government cannot tell me I'm free in these United States if I have to take my car that I like and trade it in and pay interest and financing for something that you tell me I have to fucking have. That doesn't work either. Then you have The latter. And the latter is people that simply don't fucking drive. There's a lot of people out there that live in the cities that take the bus or take the metro or that walk to work or that do like ride share, things like that. Okay. And maybe they have a car, but they keep it in storage because they're living in the city and they don't need it. Well, they're not going to go out and get rid of their car and buy another one. Or maybe they went off to college and they don't need a car on campus. So Their car that they have, you know, is sitting to mom and dad's house. And they're like, yeah, we don't need, you know, we're not fucking buying you a car to sit in the driveway. Like, fuck that. It's not happening. And then we have not perfected the EV system for like long haul over the road trucking. I'm sure Elon is he's been working on it. From my understanding, he's been working on it, but it's not there yet. It's not feasible yet. And then you're also, and this is the other thing. This is like the other thing that's fucking crazy. Fleet vehicles. Do you think for a second that businesses in this fucking economy are gonna go ahead and start switching out fleet vehicles when they don't need to? No. Like, do you think you all right? Do you think U-Haul is gonna go all electric? No. Their business model is don't spend fucking money, make it. That's U-Haul's business model. Don't spend the money, make the fucking money. So they're not gonna revamp a fucking fleet. That's not happening. I mean, and then There, then there's the latter. And like this last thing I will leave you with before I'm out of here for the day. You will never have EVs be good enough in our lifetime to utilize them for emergency services. You can't have the police car's battery die during a high-speed pursuit. You cannot have the ambulance die with a patient in the back going in, you know, having a cardiac issue and the battery dying on the way to the emergency room. You can't have an EV helicopter that you're calling to airlift someone out and it can't make it to the to the scene because the battery's not charged up enough yet. You can't have a fucking fire truck be on scene idling and supplying a fucking PTO to a water pump to fight a fire. Like all of these things will not fucking happen because we've built around the combustion engines. But if you want a fire department that might get there, have them get an EV. If you want a cop that might show up to help you out, get an EV. If you want an ambulance that could maybe get you to the ER, get an EV. If you need to be airlifted and you want to ride on a helicopter with a low battery, fucking be my guest. But if you want the cops to save you, to make it to the ER, for your house not to burn down, for that helicopter to actually get to the scene to get you to a higher level of care and save you, you're gonna want combustion engines, ladies and gentlemen. That's all I've got to say about that. We will be back here tomorrow with another excited episode of The Doom Daily Show. Have a great day, everybody.
