Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler explore the meltdown of the EV craze, Biden’s strategic petroleum reserve at 17% and border control for the 2024 election, the Left demonizing conservatives, “Killing America” by Eli and Shelby Steele, and California subsidizing labor non-participation and other things destroying the state.

RE: EVs
Dear Victor,
As a 60 yr. old woman, 2018 Tesla Model 3 owner, this is the best Commuter car:
*never go to the dirty gas station
*home charging
*never pay for an oil change
*never worry about mechanical breakdowns like starter ignitions or spark plugs
*annual maintenance-rotate tires add windshield wiper fluid, install software updates periodically
*refresh 12v battery at $50 with installation at Tesla service center approx. 3 yrs.
*Tesla insurance based on safe driving – $63/mo full coverage
*Control the charging set times, climate, other features through phone app
* Monitor car through phone app and notifications
* Regenerative braking – look Ma no brakes! I rarely use the brakes just move your foot off the petal it automatically slows down
*Safest
If you’re going on a daily home/work commute, you don’t need a gas car. Long road trips are planned through the car and show available chargers along the route map. Keep in mind you can charge at hotels overnight. Also, you don’t always need a full charge depending on your next destination, the car will figure it out for you. Mostly people are going to fly and rent a car so that’s not a big argument.
Think of EVs as daily commuters. In the long run the investment is worthwhile in many ways.
Love your show, listen daily, even when you’re invited elsewhere like The Megyn Kelly Show.
Thank you and all the best,
Anne

We should have the right to choose EV or GV. No need to eliminate gas cars. Also we should have the right for a gas stove or electric. And the stoves that the pizza makers in nyc use should not have been discontinued. Mame this country is based on Freedom and freedom of choice. Not everyone can afford a nice little EV and/or simply don’t want one.
I have often said that Fauci and Birx should be sent to Nuremberg to face trial for crimes against humanity. As you seem to be, I am saddened that Mr. Trump did not fire these two self-serving bureaucrats.
Now it is time, my simple view, to Mr. Trump to admit that he should have fired them…..
