  Speaker 1: Because you have to end it.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm a big fan of electric cars, but it's
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: going to be a smaller, much smaller market.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: They don't go far enough and they're very expensive.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: So what I would do is very strongly, I would
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: rescind the mandate because the mandate is ridiculous. People want
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: to be buy a gasoline powered car, propelled car.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: If they want to do that, they should.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: If they want to buy a hybrid, they should be
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: able to buy a hybred. And what they've done is
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: they're going to destroy our automobile industry. And I am
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a big fan of electric I'm a big fan of
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Elon and other people involved in the electric car.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I think an electric car is.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Great, but it's somewhat limited because of the cost. And
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the cost is higher because of the availability in terms
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: of the material.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: They're going to have to be made largely in China.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: They're going to be made in China. And it's also
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it doesn't go far enough.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You've got to have something that can go where you
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: don't have to recharge four times if you want to
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: take a trip down to Washington, d C.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Which we are also going to fix and make the way.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: What would you res send the ev tax credit you could. Well,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we're looking at that. That's a big thing.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But you know, tax credits and tax incentives are not
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: generally a very good thing.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: You know. They gave it to.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Wind, and wind is putting us out of business. Wind
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: is a disaster. It's the most expensive form of energy
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: there is and it is literally putting us out of
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: business as a country. They're ruining environmentally our planes and
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: our beautiful fields and everything else where they are, our oceans.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: They're affecting our wildlife all over the place, including the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: whale that's obviously being very seriously affected where a whale
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: has in come up on shore for fifty years and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: now they're losing eight nine, ten in a short period
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of time. So it's having a huge impact environmentally. But
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: it's also a very expensive form of energy, so we
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: will be talking about that. I'm not making any final
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: decisions on it. I'm a big fan of electric cars,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: but I'm a fan of gasoline propelled cars and also
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: hybrids and.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Whatever else happens to come along.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And you can't mandate that you can only buy an
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: electric car, you know, for this country to build charging
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: stations all throughout the nation, will cost anywhere from three
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to five trillion dollars.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: No country has enough money to do there. Would you
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: consider having Elon Musk have a role in the cabinet
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: advisory position? What he's very smart.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I had a great talk with him the other day,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: as you know, and it went on for two and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a half hours almost and perhaps you listened.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But he's a very smart guy.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I certainly would if he would do it, I certainly
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: would he he's a brilliant guy.
