>> Dagen: ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS GOING DOWN THE RAIN, CONGRESS WITH URGING OF BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AGREED TO SPEND 7.5 BILLION TO BUILD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS ACROSS THE NATION. TWO YEARS LATER A REPORT REVEALS NOT A SINGLE CHARGER HAS BEEN INSTALLED, NOT EVEN ONE. BIDEN CONTINUING HIS BIG EV PUSH, THIS IS EPA REGULATION PUSHED THROUGH LAST SPRING TARGETING GASOLINE POWER VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO THE WHITE HOUSE NEW FEDERAL REGULATION IS DESIGNED TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES, IN NINE YEARS, TWO-THIRDS OF VEHICLES ON THE ROAD MUST BE ELECTRIC. EVEN THE DEMOCRATS AREN'T HAVING IT. YESTERDAY FIVE DEMOCRATS JOINED REPUBLICANS IN STRIKING DOWN THE EPA'S ABILITY TO MANDATE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DRIVE ELECTRIC VEHICLES. BEN FERGUSON. >> Ben: ONE, THEY ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE, TWO, THEY ARE REALLY UNRELIABLE. BILLS TO FIX ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE THROUGH THE ROOF. EVEN WITH YOUR TAX INCENTIVES TO GET EV VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. IT IS TONE DEAF FROM AN ADMINISTRATION, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WHAT WE TELL YOU TO DRIVE. REMEMBER WHEN THERE WAS A STOVE, WE ARE GOING TO GET RID OF GLASS STOVES. THE VICE PRESIDENT'S STOVE WAS A GAS STOVE. YOU GUYS CAN'T DO THINGS AND MUST DRIVE, MUST HAVE GAS TRUCK, THAT IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE, THE DEMOCRATS, SOME OF WHOM VOTED WITH REPUBLICANS ON THIS, IT TAKES AWAY EPA'S POWER TO DO THIS, ARE FROM TEXAS, ALLSTATE, AND IN ALASKA, WHEN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF ALASKA ARE FURIOUS AT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMIC PROSPERITY TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S DONE WITH SAY FEDERAL LEASING ON THE NORTH SLOPE OF ALASKA. >> Emily: ACCURATE POLITICAL MOTIVATION. >> Kayleigh: SHOCKING A LIBERAL POLICY THAT DOESN'T WORK. BIDEN HAS GIVEN ALL THIS MONEY IN 2021 AND ZERO CHARGING STATIONS CREATED. REMEMBER SALINDRA, THEY WERE GIVEN 500 MILLION AND THEY WENT BANKRUPT. LOOK AT THE RESULTS, THERE IS A THROUGH LINE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> MARIE, THE CAR DEALERS CANNOT SELL THESE CARS, PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THEM DESPITE INCENTIVES AND THIS MANDATE IS COMING DOWN THE ROAD, THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING, PLEASE DO NOT FORCE THE ENTIRE NATION TO MANUFACTURE THESE THINGS AND BUY THEM. THAT IS ONE REASON DEMOCRATS ARE MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THEIR VOTERS AND CONSTITUENTS. >> Marie: TESLAS ARE HUGE, A LOT OF PEOPLE DO WANT TO BUY ELECTRIC VEHICLES. WE NEED TO MAKE THE INFRASTRUCTURE BETTER, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CHARGERS. I DRIVE A FORD BRONCO, THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT THERE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES. DO I THINK GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE IT? I'M NOT SURE. WHETHER TESLA OR FORD, HAVING WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO DRIVE CARS THAT ARE BETTER FOR THE PLANET IS A GOOD THING. >> Ben: SHOULD WE SUBSIDIZE IT? >> Marie: WE ARE SUBSIDIZING THE CLIMATE CRISIS EVERYDAY. >> Ben: YOU DIDN'T BUILD IT, SO THERE IS NOT A NEED FOR IT. >> Marie: IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET BUILT. DAGEN EV'S ARE NOT BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, THEY CREATE FOR PARTICULATE MATTER BECAUSE THEY ARE HEAVIER AND TIRES BREAK DOWN, EMILY, GO. >> Emily: THE FIRST MISCONCEPTION IS THEY ARE JUST ACROSS THE BOARD BETTER FOR THE PLANET, THEY'RE NOT, THIS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND THE BATTERY -- IF THAT IS LARGER CONVERSATION THAT I WISH PEOPLE COULD HAVE AND KNOW RATHER THAN TAKING A SIDE, STRIPPING AMERICANS OF THEIR CHOICE IS ANOTHER HALLMARK OF THIS ADMINISTRATION AND TO ME, THAT IS BIGGEST ISSUE, IF YOU WANT THEM NEXT TO A FORD BRONCO, LET THEM MAKE THE CHOICE, STRIPPING IT AND FAILING TO PROVIDE FOR TRANSITION IF YOU MANDATE IT IS -- >> Dagen: IT CAN CREATE 90 HYBRID VEHICLES AND IN LIFETIME, THEY REDUCE EMISSION
