Topic: Epa Carbon Tax

Despite record sales of 1.2 million electric vehicles in the previous year, the rate of growth is slowing, leading to unsold inventory at dealerships. The Biden administration's EPA is reportedly considering slowing the implementation of tough new emission rules following pressure from automakers and the UAW. Critics argue that the shift toward "carbon" terminology conflates CO2 with soot and particulate pollution.

The hosts analyze the federal budget showdown as political theater designed for news ratings. Discussion focuses on the ideological battles over Planned Parenthood funding and EPA regulations, which the hosts argue are actually about carbon credit taxes rather than clean air. They criticize the media's portrayal of the potential government shutdown's impact on national monuments and parades.

The EPA is expected to officially declare carbon dioxide a dangerous gas, paving the way for new federal taxes on carbon emissions. This move is interpreted as a strategy to generate revenue to service the $23 trillion national debt, rebranded as a "pollution tax" after the failure of "cap and trade" legislation.
