Author at The Federalist and Substack Helen Raleigh explains that for many electric vehicle (EV) owners, the “deep Freeze” and frigid temperatures were a rude awakening that EVs might be the future, but they couldn’t handle certain present challenges. In the Substack article titled Mr. Toyota Was Right About EVs, Raleigh delves into the shortcomings of electric vehicles (EVs), highlighting several critical issues. One significant problem is that electric vehicle charging stations often become inoperative during cold snaps, failing to work under severe cold temperatures. Furthermore, Raleigh argues that the manufacturing process of EVs is not only inefficient but also exploitative, suggesting that the disadvantages of electric vehicles far outweigh their purported benefits. This critique raises important questions about the sustainability and practicality of EVs in current technological and environmental contexts. Listen to the full interview in the first hour.
Interview with Phil Kerpen
President of American Commitment Phil Kerpen asks if the Federal Reserve has truly achieved its “soft landing” for the American economy. Kerpen attributes the rising cost of living coupled with stagnant wages as a primary reason behind Americans’ growing pessimism towards the economy. He argues that escalated government spending is exacerbating the cost of living, suggesting that a reduction in government expenditure and a minimization of its involvement and regulation of the economy are crucial steps towards healing the current economic state. This perspective highlights the need for a strategic reassessment of fiscal policies to address the economic challenges Americans face. Listen to the full interview in the second hour.
