>> Jesse: WE HAVE ALL MET A
SLEAZY SALESMAN BEFORE.
THEY WON’T STOP TRYING TO SELL
YOU SOMETHING YOU DON’T WANT.
>> ANYWAY, LET’S GET SERIOUS.
YOU WANT TO BUY THIS CAR OR
WHAT?
>> NO.
WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
>> WHAT IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT?
YOU TOLD ME YOU LIKED IT.
YOU ASKED ME 10,000 QUESTIONS.
I ANSWERED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
THEM.
YOU DROVE IT, YOU LOVE IT.
WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW.
>> Jesse: RULE NUMBER ONE ABOUT
BEING A GOOD SALESMAN YOU ALWAYS
ACT LIKE YOU ARE THE EXPERT.
TODAY JOE BIDEN DID JUST THAT.
>> YOU ALL KNOW I’M A CAR GUY.
I’M HERE BECAUSE THE AUTO SHOW
AND THE VEHICLES HERE GIVE ME
SOME REASONS TO BE OPTIMISTIC
ABOUT THE FUTURE.
I REALLY MEAN IT.
JUST LOOKING AT THEM AND DRIVING
THEM, THEY JUST GIVE ME A SENSE
OF OPTIMISM ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE
SPEED, TOO.
>> Jesse: ONCE YOU REAL REEL IN
SUCKER THAT’S WHEN YOU TRY TO
SELL THEME CLUNKER.
>> INVESTING $7.5 BILLION TO
BUILD ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
STATIONS ALL ACROSS AMERICA.
SO TODAY.
[APPLAUSE]
I’M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE WE ARE
APPROVING FUNDING FOR THE FIRST
35 STATES, INCLUDING MICHIGAN,
TO BUILD THEIR OWN ELECTRIC
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
THROUGHOUT THEIR STATE.
[APPLAUSE]
>> LOOK, FOLKS, YOU KNOW THE
GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP IS
GOING TO BE FULLY ELECTRIFIED
WHETHER YOU ARE DRIVING COAST TO
COAST ALONG I 10 OR ON I-75 HERE
IN MICHIGAN.
CHARGING STATIONS WILL BE UP AND
EASY TO FIND AS GAS STATIONS ARE
NOW.
>> Jesse: HE SAYS THE GREAT
AMERICAN ROAD TRIP IS GOING TO
GO COMPLETELY ELECTRIC AND HE IS
THE ONE THAT IS GOING TO DO IT
WITH YOUR MONEY.
MONEY THAT HE HAS BEEN SITTING
ON.
HE SIGNED AN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW
OVER A YEAR AGO.
HE COULD HAVE BEEN BUILDING
CHARGING STATIONS WHEN GAS
PRICES WERE AT RECORD HIGHS.
EVEN THE PEOPLE THAT HAD
ELECTRIC CARS WERE IN LINES A
MILE LONG TO CHARGE.
BUT, INSTEAD, HE LET INFLATION
RUN RAMPANT AND NOW HE IS USING
OUR MONEY TO PAY A PREMIUM FOR
HIS LITTLE CHARGING STATION.
SO WHAT HAS BIDEN BEEN DOING FOR
A WHOLE YEAR WITH INFRASTRUCTURE
MONEY?
WE LOOKED INTO THIS.
AND WE ONLY FOUND LIKE FOUR
THINGS.
READY?
$25 MILLION WENT TO BUILD A
LITTLE WALKWAY IN PHOENIX.
13 MILLION TO FIX UP A DOCK IN
FLORIDA.
62 MILLION TO RENOVATE A
TERMINAL IN LIZ WARREN’S AIRPORT
IN BOSTON.
AND 20 MILLION TO INSTALL HEATED
SIDEWALKS IN ONE TOWN IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
THAT’S NOT EVEN A SHOVEL READY
JOB.
THAT’S A SHOVEL KILLING JOB.
THEY HAD ALL YEAR.
THEY DID FOUR PROJECTS.
AND ONLY SPENT .01% OF THE MONEY
WE GAVE THEM.
WE’RE ALL GOING TO BE DEAD BY
THE TIME THEY START FIXING
THINGS UP LIKE WE CARE ABOUT
LIKE POTHOLES.
IS THIS THE DUMBEST THING YOU
HAVE EVER HEARD?
BIDEN DOESN’T EVEN BELIEVE IN
WHAT HE IS SELLING.
FORD EXECUTIVES COULDN’T EVEN
GET THE PRESIDENT OUT OF THE
CHEVY TODAY.
WATCH. >>
[REVVING ENGINE]
>> WATCH OUT.
>> THE HEAD OF MY SECRET SERVICE
DETAIL I’M DRIVING HOME.
>> HE SAYS HE IS DRIVING HOME.
>> YEAH.
>> Jesse: JOE, JOE, YOU ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE SELLING ELECTRIC
CARS.
GET OUT OF THE CORVETTE AND HOP
INTO AN ELECTRIC CAR.
AND AT LEAST ACTED LIKE YOU LOVE
IT.
>> HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE
CORVETTE?
>> IT’S A BEAUTIFUL CAR BUT I
LIKE THE CORVETTE.
>> WE GOT MOVE.
>> LET’S GO.
>> Jesse: BIDEN IS LIKE A CHILD.
YEAH.
WE ALL LOVE THE CORVETTE, JOE.
THAT’S WHY NO ONE IS BUYING
ELECTRIC CARS.
YOU DON’T EVEN OWN AN ELECTRIC
CAR, DO YOU?
>> YOU GUYS ARE PUSHING ELECTRIC
VEHICLES TODAY.
THIS IS THE PRESIDENT WHO ALWAYS
TALKS ABOUT THE POWER OF OUR
EXAMPLE.
DOES HE OWN AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE?
>> THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED
STATES DON’T DO A LOT OF
DRIVING.
>> HE POSTED VIDEOS WHERE HE IS
REVVING THE ENGINE OF HIS
CORVETTE IN WILMINGTON.
>> DRIVEN A ELECTRIC CAR TO
MODEL.
>> DOES HE OWN ONE.
>> THE PRESIDENT’S RECORD IS
CLEAR ON THIS PETER.
>> IT’S CLEAR HE DOESN’T OWN
ONE.
HAD HERE’S THE PROBLEM WITH ALL
OF THIS.
BIDEN IS NOT GIVING YOU A
CHOICE.
THIS IS LIKE THE VAX MANDATE.
IN A COUPLE YEARS THERE ARE NOT
GOING TO BE SELLING REGULAR
CARS.
EVs JUST AREN’T BUILT THE
SAME.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT JOE KNOWS
THAT.
[STARTING ENGINE]
>> SOUNDS GOOD.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[LAUGHTER]
>> TRY YOUR BRAKES.
>> THEY’RE GOOD.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Jesse: JOE GETS A CHOICE.
AND THE ONLY PLUG IN BIDEN IS
GETTING IS FOR HIS HAIR.
BIDEN DOESN’T CARE ABOUT
EMISSIONS EITHER.
IF HE DID, WHY DID HE FLY TO
DELAWARE FOR AN HOUR AND BACK ON
AIR FORCE ONE LAST NIGHT?
THEY SAID BIDEN HAD TO GO VOTE.
DELAWARE HAS MAIL-IN AND EARLY
VOTING.
THAT TRIP BURNED MORE FUEL THAN
50 CORVETTES COMBINED.
NONE OF THEM BELIEVE ANYTHING
THEY ARE SELLING.
YOU THINK PAUL PELOSI IS GOING
TO TRADE IN HIS BANGED UP
PORSCHE FOR A PLUG-IN.
MAYBE, HE IS SMART.
MAYBE HE WOULD DO IT FOR THE TAX
CREDIT.
BUT DON’T THINK HE IS IN IT TO
SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT.
PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA HAVE TO
TAKE SHORT SHOWERS BECAUSE PAUL
PELOSI’S VINEYARD USES A
GAZILLION GALLONS OF WATER A
DAY.
SINCE BE WE ARE SPENDING LIKE
$8 BILLION ON CHARGING STATIONS
FOR CARS THAT NO ONE DRIVES, CAN
SOMEONE AT LEAST TELL US HOW
THESE THINGS WORK?
>> YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND PLUG IN.
>> OKAY.
>> THAT’S IT.
>> THERE WE ARE.
>> THAT’S IT.
>> AND THERE IS NO SOUND OR
FUME.
>> THERE IS NOTHING.
AND THAT’S ALL.
>> ALL OF US WHO ARE USED TO
FILLING OUR TANK, YOU USUALLY
CAN SMELL IT AND YOU CAN HEAR
IT, YOU CAN HEAR THE GUZZLING
SOUND.
>> RIGHT.
>> NONE OF THAT.
HOW DO I KNOW IT’S ACTUALLY
WORKING?
>> IT IS.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Jesse: SO JOE DOESN’T LIKE
ELECTRIC CARS AND KAMALA DOESN’T
KNOW HOW THEY WORK.
HOW EXACTLY ARE WE SAYING THE
ENVIRONMENT HERE AGAIN?
LET’S ASK GENERAL MOTORS.
>> SO WHAT IS CHARGING THE
BATTERIES RIGHT NOW?
WHAT IS THE SOURCE.
>> WELL, HERE, IT’S COMING FROM
THE BUILDING.
>> IS DID -- WHAT’S OUR MIX OF
POWER?
>> OH, LANSING FEEDS POWER TO
THE BUILDING SO I DON’T KNOW I
BET YOU THERE IS A BIT OF COAL.
NATURAL GAS, AREN’T THEY.
>> RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS CHARGING
OFF YOUR GRID.
>> RIGHT.
IT WOULD BE CHARGING OFF OUR
GRID, WHICH IS ABOUT 95% COAL.
>> Jesse: COAL.
OH.
FOLLOW THE MONEY.
THEY EVER JUST TAKING YOUR TAX
DOLLARS AND GIVE IT TO BILLION
DOLLARS CAR COMPANY TO BUILD
CARS THAT YOU DON’T WANT THAT
ARE MADE IN CHINA AND PRODUCED
WITH COAL.
THIS MAKES SOLYNDRA LOOK LIKE
POCKET CHANGE AND INSTEAD OF
PROMISING JOBS, BIDEN’S ELECTRIC
CAR DEAL IS ACTUALLY KILLING
THEM.
FORD JUST TOOK YOUR MONEY AND
SAID IT IS FIRING 3,000 WORKERS
BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE
MAKING ELECTRIC CARS IN MEXICO
NOW.
IT’S LIKE THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE
ALL OVER AGAIN.
WHERE DO THE GUYS GO WHO JUST
LOST THEIR JOBS?
LET’S ASK JOE.
>> IF YOU LEFT OUT, LEFT BEHIND
IN AN ECONOMY, AN INDUSTRY
THAT’S RAPIDLY CHANGING, YOU
WONDER WHERE IS MY PLACE GOING
TO BE IN THAT ECONOMY?
I UNDERSTAND.
I REALLY DO.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY MY DAD
MOVED FROM SCRANTON WHEN COAL
DIED, EVERYTHING DIED.
HAD TO FIND NEW WAYS TO DO --
LEARN NEW SKILLS, NEW WORK.
>> Jesse: BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT
EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO DURING A
RECESSION LOSE THEIR JOB AND
LEARN TO CODE.
BUT AT LEAST WE ARE GOING TO
SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT, RIGHT?
WRONG.
WE’RE GOING TO BE STRIP MINING
THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES FOR RARE
EARTH MINERALS, THEY CALL THEM
RARE FOR A REASON AND WE WILL BE
USING CHILD LABOR AND SLAVE
LABOR AND PRODUCING THESE
BATTERIES WITH FOSSIL FUELS AND
RELYING ON CHINA LIKE THE
EUROPEANS RYE LIED ON RUSSIA.
HOW DID THAT WORK OUT AGAIN?
EVEN IF THE ENTIRE WORLD GOES TO
ELECTRIC CARS, YOU READY? IT ONLY LOWERS THE TEMPERATURE
IT ONLY LOWERS THE TEMPERATURE
OF THE EARTH BY 0.0002 DEGREES.
YOU CAN’T EVEN TRACE THAT THEY
KNOW.
