Let’s talk a little bit about one of the ways that they’re taking everything from us, of course, monopolistic pressures and using the climate. MacGuffin Biden administration is preparing the toughest ever auto emission standards. What is Congress doing to stop that? Are they going to stop funding the EPA, which is run, running all this show for, know all of the Alphabet agencies, all of the swamp or the deep state or whatever the Trumpsters want to call this? That was all underneath the president.
Trump was president. What do you do to stop this? We don’t have any constitutional authority for there to be an EPA. That was something from Nixon. It wasn’t until the 1970s that we had an EPA. How did we survive as a country without an EPA? And we need to go back to the constitutional blueprint, but at least clip their wings. But that didn’t even happen. They just put somebody else temporarily in the driver’s seat there.
And so it is the EPA, but it’s the structure that we have, and it is also the Paris climate accord. Trump did a massive headfake and did absolutely nothing and left the Paris climate accord in, well, I’ll get rid of it eventually after the election in 2020. And he said that he got rid of it in 2020, but it was a treaty. He could have called for ratification.
He could have called BS on it. It’s pure Bolshevik, in other words. But he didn’t do it. Mitch McConnell didn’t do it, and none of the other senators did know. Rand Paul used to always talk about the Reigns act, and now he’s not really talking about that anymore. Thomas Massey is. Thomas Massey is talking about how the bureaucracies are out of control. I got a clip from Massey, but Rand Paul’s not talking about that anymore.
And he didn’t do anything to stop the Paris climate accord. All you needed to have was one. Senator Mike Lee. Rand Paul could have said, that’s not valid. That’s a treaty. We never voted on that. Let’s have a vote anyway. Biden is preparing these toughest ever emissions restrictions for cars, according to Bloomberg. And of course, for the first time, they put emission restrictions on power plants to shut them down, at the same time requiring EVs to constitute about two thirds of new cars and light trucks by 2032, a sharp increase from less than 10% last year.
So less than 10% of the new cars and trucks being sold are EVs. And that’s a big problem for the car companies. And so they’re all moving away from this. But Biden and the bureaucracy are doubling down. And so even though currently the market is less than 10%, they want it to be 67%. Now, you’ve seen the articles, and I reported the article. Biden is moving back. Yeah, well, what he did was he said, we want to have 50% by 2030.
Now, what he’s done is he said, all right, we’ll take the deadline. Our goal, we’ll move it out to 2032, but we’re going to go up from 50% to 67%. So instead of 50% by 2030, we want 67% by 2032. This is actually worse. And he touts this as a step towards meeting the US’s Paris agreement goal. The Paris agreement must be, must die, must be destroyed. It’s like the guy, Cato, I forget, if it’s the elder, the younger, who would end every speech in the roman senate.
And one more thing. Carthage must be destroyed. And one more thing. Paris climate accord must be destroyed, or it will destroy us again. It was a sleight of hand. It was a headfake from Trump about the Paris climate accord. That is the motivating factor. Well, we got to do it because the Paris climate agreement said so. It’s not a treaty. Even if it were a treaty, you don’t have the authority to do this stuff.
And so they said, as they’re pushing this, the guy who’s head of the natural resources Defense Action fund, so this would be some kind of an NGO that is making money off of this. Listen to this. Okay, so we’re going to run these numbers here. Cars and light trucks on their own are roughly 20% of the carbon footprint. The carbon footprint. So 20% of this, 20% of what? Well, we know that the atmosphere is only 0.
4% CO2. And of that, all of that, 0. 4%, that massive amount. Only 3% of that. 3. 2% of that is man made. So we take 3. 2% of 0. 4%, and then we say of that. So here’s all the carbon, 0. 4%. And all of it that’s man made. Another 3% and 20% of what’s man made is cars and trucks transportation. So what does that mean? Well, that means that the actual amount of carbon dioxide being contributed by the cars and trucks is 2.
56 times ten to the minus six. Or to put another way, it’s 2. 56. 10,000 of a percent. Two and a half, 10,000 of a percent, in order to destroy all of our transportation, all of our private transportation. They can’t make a case for this. And yet what they’ll say is, well, you know, if we could do this, I project that we could get rid of six or seven tons of carbon over a decade.
Absolute nonsense. Absolute nonsense. It’s 2. 510 thousand of a percent. Common sense would tell you, though, that it’s infinitesimal. Right? We all know that anyway. But just crank out their own numbers. A senior analyst with a union of concerned scientists. Oh, they’re very concerned. Just clutching their pearls and wringing their hands. Said the rule doesn’t meet the moment, but it still creates some guarantees around movement toward zero emission vehicles nationwide.
Well, it’s really about phasing out gas cars. That’s the headline from the Daily Mail. And they got it right. The regulations, these stricter regulations will roll out more slowly than originally proposed. As I said, originally Biden dictated, he’s a dictator. Does he design anything? Of course not. He doesn’t know anything. He can’t make anything. But we’re going to buy, by 2030, 50% reduction in the number of angels on the head of a pen.
And so now he’s changed it to 67% by 2032. You know what he’s really polluting the country with? Executive orders, with bureaucratic dictates. That’s where the real pollution is coming from. The EPA has issued these new auto rules to boost electric vehicles, not so much hybrids. The EPA is out of control. It is a law unto itself. As I’ve said many times, all of these bureaucracies were getting regulation without representation.
Did Congress vote for this? No, this came from Trump and the bureaucracy. Trump, biden, and the bureaucracy. This is regulation without representation, and it is also a tax. It is also taxation without representation, and it is also prohibition without representation. Prohibition without a constitutional amendment. As I’ve said over and over again, you can’t prohibit anything without a constitutional amendment. They needed a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol. The 18th amendment, they brought it back with the 21st amendment.
They had no constitutional amendment to prohibit marijuana, and the states used that to defy the government’s drug rules. But guess what? They’ve got no constitutional amendment to prohibit cars either. And we should fight that for the same reason. Now, it is not as easy to do that. It’s not as easy to build cars as it is to grow marijuana, of course. So weed, however, if you want to have cottage industries, where you’re going to allow in your state, people to continue to repair cars, even allow people to build cars, and guess what? You could just start the automobile industry all over again in your state.
Because if you throw away the EPA rules, and if you throw away the Department of Transportation rules and all the rest of the stuff, go back to a free market in cars. A lot of people would rather have a model a than to have one of these electric vehicles. And they certainly would be a lot more affordable. So anyway, all the deep state swamp is on the president.
But they have no constitutional authority for what they’re doing. The EPA said that under its final rule. Final rule. They’re always changing the rules. It’s just like, well, Roe v. Wade is the law of the land. Until it isn’t. Until the Supreme Court changes its mind. Well, this is the final rule. Until our rulers at the EPA decide that they want to change it to something else. Because they just changed it again.
Final rule. That’s my final offer right there. Yeah. No, it’s capricious. It’s arbitrary. It is the constant state of flux that we see coming out of these bureaucracies. Regulation without representation. Taxation without representation. Prohibition without representation. The new standards will avoid more than 7 billion tons. That’s why I said 7 billion tons of planet warming carbon emissions. No, it’s going to stop 2. 510 thousand of a percent.
