1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Three more things to discuss Tony cats. Tony Cats today

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: are stories that should be getting more news coverage. We

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: did talk about El Paso yesterday in depth, and I

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: want to say for the record, nothing changes my position.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: The cartels are not in charge, and if cartels think

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: they could disrupt the American way of life through drones

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: or any other activities, I believe it is Mexico's responsibility

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: to handle it. And if it means we have to

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: create a barrier between ourselves in Mexico to ensure the

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: safety and security and free movement of the American people,

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm all in. This is a story about the El

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: Paso International Airport and the airport was shut down got

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: shut down. The FAA offered a ground grounding of all flights,

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: commercial cargo, and general aviation in a ten nautical mile radius.

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: It's the first shutdown of a American airspace since September eleventh,

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. The claim it was a cartel

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: drone and that the military could not ensure civilian aircraft safety.

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Flights were shut down going in and going out. There

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: were reports of roads shut down, All sorts of things

20
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: were going on. It's a weird story. Because they shut

21
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: it down. They said it's gonna be a ten day shutdown.

22
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Less than twenty four hours later, the shutdowns lifted. What

23
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: in the world, How in the world does a ten

24
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: days shutdown become like thirteen hours? If it even was

25
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: thirteen hours? Well, you see, it wasn't actually a.

26
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: Drone.

27
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: No, what was it?

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: What was the military testing some lasers and doing some

29
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: other things.

30
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it was what now? No, no, no, that's not

31
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: the story.

32
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: It was a party balloon and the military thought that

33
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: it was a drone and they shot it down and

34
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing was just a big hot mess.

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: It was a party balloon.

36
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: You mean little Johnny's fourth birthday, mylar balloon with the

37
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Elmo face. We shut down in an airspace because of

38
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: deflating Elmo.

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no.

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: It was the military and they were doing some testing.

41
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: No no, no, it was still a drone and a

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: real concern.

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: Holy cow.

44
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: My argument remains. I do it can defend my argument anywhere.

45
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I thought this one through. But it's really rough when

46
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: you can't come up with a story, and when.

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: You cannot come up with a story just for the

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: sake of clarity, no one believes you. I have no

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: idea what happened, guys.

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: I have no idea what the military did or didn't do.

51
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea what was coming from the Mexican side.

52
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: I have no idea if it was some kind of

53
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: party favor flying in the sky, I don't know. But

54
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: right now the President of the United States is speaking

55
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: with the EPA Administrator Leez Elden.

56
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: Very much, but I'm pleased to be joined today by

57
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: EPA Administrator Leez Elden, who you all know, and to

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: announce the single largest irregular character action in American history.

59
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: That's a big statement in American history, and I.

60
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: Think we can add the words by far.

61
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: Under the process just completed by the EPA, we are

62
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: officially terminating the so called ENDANGERMENTI, a disastrous Obama era

63
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: policy that's severely damaged the American auto industry and massively

64
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: drove up prices for American consumers. Prices went up incredibly

65
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: for a worse product. This action will eliminate over one

66
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: point three trillion dollars of regulatory costs and help bring

67
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: car prices tumbling down dramatically. You're going to get a

68
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: better car, You're going to get a car that starts easier,

69
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: a car that works better.

70
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: The Endangerment Findings two thousand and nine. This is the

71
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: EPA saying it's carbon dioxide.

72
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 2: And methane and nitrous oxide.

73
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: It's all threat to public health, which led to the

74
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: cafe standards, which made it impossible to make a car

75
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: that was worth its salts, and led to the electric

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: nightmare that car dealers are dealing with right now.

77
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: That actually make factories, rock and roll and other things

78
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: drive very nicely. As a threat to health and human welfare,

79
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 4: known as the Endangerment Finding determination had no basis in fact,

80
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: had none whatsoever, and it had no basis in law.

81
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: On the contrary, over the generation's fossil fuels have saved

82
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 4: millions of lives and lifted billions of people out of

83
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: poverty and.

84
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: All over the world.

85
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: And you see it with the blackouts all over where

86
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 4: they don't use it.

87
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: Where they went to.

88
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 4: Wind, intermittent wind, which is weak and ineffective.

89
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: And very very costly, most costly energy there is.

90
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 4: And people are dying because there was no air conditioning

91
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: or there was no heating.

92
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: Lots of other things. Bad things happened.

93
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: And yet this radical rule became the legal foundation for

94
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: the Green New scam, one of the greatest scams in history,

95
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: probably as great, maybe even greater than Russia Russia Russia Hoax,

96
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 4: et cetera, which the Obama and Biden administration used to

97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: destroy countless jobs. And the jobs have been just decimated.

98
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: Although they're all.

99
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: Coming back because of tariffs.

100
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 4: They're all coming back into our country at levels we've

101
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 4: never seen before. But it raised prices and caused immense

102
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: harm to the US auto industry we thought irreparable. But

103
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 4: we've got them back coming back now. I was in Detroit,

104
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: as you know, with Ford and they had one of

105
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: the earliest plants from the early nineteen hundreds, and it

106
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 4: was going to be closed down. And then when I won,

107
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: they said, let's keep it open for a little while.

108
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 4: Let's see what happens. And they just announced, as you know,

109
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 4: they're going twenty four hours around the clock with that

110
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: same plant that was going to be closed because of

111
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 4: what we've done.

112
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: For example, under the Endangerment Finding, they.

113
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 4: Forced the hated start stop feature onto American consumers, which

114
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: unnecessarily shut so off a car's engine when you stop

115
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 4: at a red light.

116
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: In other words, the engine goes, oh, that's great.

117
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 4: The endangerment finding was also used to impose the massive

118
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: and really very expensive electric vehicle mandate, expensive in the

119
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 4: sense that nobody wanted it. Everybody was going to be

120
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: forced to buy an electric car in a very short

121
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: period of time, even though you can't power the car

122
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: because we would have to spend five trillion dollars on

123
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: power stations.

124
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: That's all dead gone over.

125
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: These crippling restrictions were a major factor in driving up

126
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: car prices to unprecedented levels, and the car that you

127
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: were getting was not nearly as good. In four years

128
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: under the Biden administration, the price of a new and

129
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: used car rose more than twenty two percent, all to

130
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: facilitate the green new scam, without achieving any meaningful impact

131
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: on the environment, but making.

132
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: The car worse.

133
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: That's why effective immediately, we're repealing the ridiculous endangerment finding

134
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: and terminating all additional green emission standards imposed unnecessarily on

135
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 4: vehicle models and engines between twenty twelve and only twenty

136
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: seven and beyond. This action will save American consumers trillions

137
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 4: of dollars and will lower the average cost of a

138
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: new vehicle by close to three thousand dollars.

139
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: Think of that. I'm a very man.

140
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: Three thousand dollars doesn't help touches present on a fifty

141
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars car or what we see it in eighty

142
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: thousand dollars trucks. We've instead done it, but I like

143
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: it any movement in this direction.

144
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: One hundred and twenty nine. So now we cut one

145
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty nine. So think of that.

146
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 4: I promise to cut ten old regulations for every new one,

147
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: but we did more than ten. We did one hundred

148
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: and twenty nine. It's something nobody can even believe it.

149
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: So we did a lot of regulation cutting in the

150
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: first administration or record, nobody even close to it. Now

151
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: we're actually exceeding it in this administration. The biggest one

152
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: yet that we've done is happening right now. So perhaps

153
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: no industry has benefited more from our historic deregulation campaign

154
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 4: than the Usoto industry. We canceled the epas observed just

155
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: totally observed tailpipe emission standards, which was a disaster for

156
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 4: automobile manufacturing, and revoked Biden's emissions waiver that would have

157
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: allowed California to regulate automobiles for the entire nation, and

158
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: they're crazy out in California.

159
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: They have nothing but trouble out there is you know,

160
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: that's why people are leaving in record numbers.

161
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 4: They also ended Joe Biden's extreme cafe emission standards, saving

162
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 4: the average American consumer much more than one thousand dollars

163
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 4: when they buy a new car, but now we're talking

164
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: about close to three thousand dollars. These regulation cuts, combined

165
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: with our tax cuts and tariffs, are the reason why

166
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 4: the world's largest automakers have announced that they're going to

167
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: be spending in excess of one hundred billion dollars in

168
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 4: the United States in the next very short period of

169
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: time building new autoplants. We're bringing our auto plants, assembly plants,

170
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: and factories roaring back to life, not even mentioning AI

171
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: and all of the other things. We're building thousands of

172
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 4: businesses in the United States. And if you remember, on

173
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: my first day, they said, if I could ever get

174
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 4: the Dow up to fifty thousand in my last year,

175
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: in other words, in the fourth year, that it would

176
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: be an unbelievable miracle. But don't worry about it, because

177
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: it'll never happen, they said. And if I could get

178
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: the S and P up to seven thousand. They said

179
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: in the fourth year, they said, it will never happen. Well,

180
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: let's not even talk about I have things. Let's not

181
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: even waste our time talking about. Well, at the very

182
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: end of my first year, the Dow hit fifty thousand.

183
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: Now it's over fifty.

184
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: Thousand, and three days before that, P hit seven thousand.

185
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: So we didn't have to wait till the end of

186
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: the fourth year. We just waited till the end of

187
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 4: the first year. We've never had a country in a

188
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 4: position like this, and a lot of it's due to tariffs,

189
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 4: and a lot of it's due to the fact that

190
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 4: we had.

191
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: A great election.

192
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: Voted against.

193
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 4: One of the good things I did was put Lee

194
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 4: Zeldon and judge of our environment.

195
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: So I'm going to ask Lee to say a few words.

196
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.

197
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: Thanks, thank you, mister President. This is a big deal.

198
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: Under President Trump's leadership, today, the Trump EPA has finalized

199
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 5: the single largest act of deregulation in the history of

200
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 5: the United States of America. Referred to by some as

201
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 5: the holy Grail of federal regulatory overreach. The two thousand

202
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 5: and nine Obama EPA and endangerment finding is now eliminated.

203
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 5: This action will save American taxpayers over one point three

204
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 5: trillion dollars. What that means is lower prices, more choices,

205
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,479
Speaker 5: and an end of heavy handed climate policies. With today's announcement,

206
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: American families will save over twenty four hundred twenty four

207
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 5: hundred dollars for a new vehicle. Sixteen years ago, an

208
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 5: ideological crusade within the Obama administration set off the most

209
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 5: costly regulatory power grab our country has ever experienced.

210
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 1: Absolutely true, I've got more with Lee Zeld than the

211
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: EPA administrator. A rolling back of nonsense standards that hopefully

212
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: can lead to better cars and lower prices.

213
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: Keep it here. This is Tony Kats today,
