  Speaker 1: But on my first day in office, I ended the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Green new scam and abolished the EV mandate at the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: federal level, we abolished it, which is basically that everybody
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: would be driving an electric car within a very short
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: period of time.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Now I know why Elon doesn't like me so much,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: which he does, actually he does, and he never had
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a problem.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: You know, it's very interesting. This is not something new.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: This has been there from day one. Speaker right, We're
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: going to abolish the ev mandate, and Elon still endorsed
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: me because honestly, he never ever spoke to me about that.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And I used to say, I'm amazed that he's endorsing me,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: because that can't be good for him. I'm abolishing the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: ev mandate. And I once asked him about it. You
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: never talked to me about that. He said, well, as
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: long as it's happening to everybody, I'll be able to compete.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It was a very interesting answer. I thought it was
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a very honest answer, to be honest with you, and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I talked about it. That incredible. You know, you would
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: have thought he would have been from day one. You
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: got to make sure you don't do the EV mandate,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the abolishing and never did very honest in that sense.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And he did say to me. I actually asked him
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: because it was like, really strange, how I'm with him.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: He's very friend of mine, and he makes electric cars.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And we're saying you're not going to be able to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: make electric cars or you're not going to be forced
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to make all of those cars. You can make them,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: but it'll be by the market, judged by the market,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and that's what he said. He said, as long as
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I'm on the same plane as everybody else, we're going
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to do good. We make a better product. I said,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that's very cool, that's very cood.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: That was my answer.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: After that, he got a little bit strange, but I
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: don't know why. Over much smaller things than that. As
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, will also further
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: slash the funding for the green new scam. As you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it's great as scam in history, saving American taxpayers hundreds
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of billions of dollars. The windmills are killed in our
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: country by the way, and
