Intended to save fuel and protect consumers, CAFE standards have instead penalized efficient small cars, subsidized trucks and SUVs, and created a de facto electric-vehicle mandate. Cato's Chad Davis, Brent Skorup, and Peter Van Doren trace how decades of regulatory layering have increased vehicle manufacturing costs, reduced affordability for consumers, and locked automakers into an endless cycle of policy reversals.

The Talkhouse. Peter. Institutions. Very few establishments on the East End have had the staying power of Stephen Talkhouse. But the iconic bar and nightclub in Amagansett remains more vital than ever, even if Peter slips out by 10pm nowadays. The Talkhouse has become famous on a level that no one, especially not Peter, would have imagined 39 years ago when he bought the divey little bar with only a jukebox for music. More than 80 members of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame have played the Talkhouse. Global megastars like Coldplay, Dave Matthews, Jelly Roll, Brandi Carlisle, and most recently, Metallica, have performed onstage. Despite the worldwide notoriety, The Talkhouse remains a deeply local, deeply soulful establishment. Local and regional acts have played there as unknowns, only to become huge-- and continue to play there. Some performers have been returning year after year for over thirty years. Employees, too, have stood the test of time. Over a dozen employees have been there for more than twenty years. No one is quite sure how long Larry has been working there, but it's longer than anyone, himself included, can recall. And then there's the generosity. Soldier Ride was conceived here, and has become a nationwide foundation to raise money and awareness for wounded American combat veterans. And again, locally, any time anyone in need comes to Peter to help raise money or other support for a cause, whether a local family or a worthwhile organization, Peter is eager to help. So please listen in to this very special episode.

This week, The Go-To Food Podcast closes out the year inside one of London's most talked-about dining rooms. Recorded at Café Cecilia on the canals of Hackney, the episode finds hosts Ben and Fred sitting down with chef owner Max Rocha at the height of Christmas service. It is warm, chaotic, funny and deeply human, the sound of a restaurant in motion as one of Britain's most influential young chefs reflects on how he got here.Rocha speaks with striking honesty about his journey through Spring, River Cafe and St. John, and the mentors who shaped him, particularly the late Skye Gyngell. He unpacks how Café Cecilia exploded from a modest, family-run opening into one of the hardest tables to secure in the country, without PR, without hype chasing, and without compromising on food that is rooted in simplicity, seasonality and care. This is a masterclass in building something quietly exceptional, one plate at a time.The conversation goes far beyond the pass. Rocha opens up about burnout, addiction and the pressure of sudden success, describing how sobriety and exercise quite literally saved his life and his restaurant. He talks about rewriting kitchen culture, setting boundaries, banning hangovers, and creating an environment where young chefs can learn properly, from butchery to bread, rather than just survive service. It is one of the most candid discussions of mental health in hospitality you will hear this year.Along the way, there is food, a lot of it. Guinness bread and butter, fritti with anchovy and sage, deep fried bread and butter pudding, big steaks, Dublin restaurants worth travelling for, and the dish Rocha would put in the Go-To Hall of Fame. Thoughtful, generous and quietly profound, this episode is a fitting end to the year and essential listening for anyone who cares about cooking, creativity and staying human in a brutal industry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What a wonderful gift..." she smiled with tears in her eyes.Ja: そして、彼女自身もハルートに特別なプレゼントを渡しました。それは、彼への愛を詩に綴ったものでした。En: Then she also gave Haruto a special present, a poem expressing her love for him.Ja: ハルートはその瞬間、言葉にしないと伝わらない思いがあることを学びました。En: At that moment, Haruto learned that some feelings must be expressed in words to be understood.Ja: ユイの詩に心を温かくしながら、彼は彼女に対する想いが届いたことを感じました。En: Warmed by Yui's poem, he felt that his feelings for her had reached her.Ja: その日の静かなカフェでの二人の会話は、新しい関係の始まりでした。En: The conversation between the two in the quiet cafe that day marked the beginning of a new relationship.Ja: ハルートは他人に対しても自分に対しても、開かれた心で生きることの大切さを知ったのです。En: Haruto realized the importance of living with an open heart, both towards others and himself.Ja: 彼の心は、まるでクリスマスの灯りのように温かく、明るく輝いていました。En: His heart shone warmly and brightly, like the lights of Christmas.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to rethink what truly matters as Christmas approaches: Are we clinging to gifts no one remembers, or to experiences no one forgets? But the hour quickly shifts from holiday wisdom to political reality as John delivers a bold, unfiltered prediction about Colorado's GOP governor's race. With more than 20 Republican candidates scrambling for attention, he asks the unavoidable question: Is the party sabotaging itself before the race even begins? John warns that infighting, ego-driven campaigns, and even suspected political “plants” could doom conservatives in 2026 unless unity happens early—something he doubts will occur. He then dives into Colorado's cooling economy, exposing the impact of skyrocketing regulations, natural-gas restrictions, and costly mandates that he says the media refuses to acknowledge. Why does Governor Polis blame tariffs and interest rates instead of his own policies? And what hidden change nearly eliminated Denver's famous brown cloud? Hour 1 is part political thriller, part economic wake-up call—packed with provocative insights you won't hear anywhere else. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason revs up with special guest Ray Shefska, CEO of CarEdge (https://caredge.com), for a sharp, insider breakdown of one of the most significant shifts in the auto industry: the administration's newly relaxed CAFE standards. What will the loser fuel-efficiency rules mean for consumers, dealers, and the future of affordable cars? Ray reveals why the market has fewer budget-friendly vehicles than ever—and why envy, not necessity, is driving Americans into $55,000 cars with $750 monthly payments. John and Ray then expose how automakers fumbled the rollout of EVs, relying on government incentives instead of actually selling the features and benefits. Are manufacturers now scrambling to salvage billions in electric-vehicle investment? And will Toyota's hybrid-first strategy turn out to be the stroke of genius everyone else missed? The second half of the hour turns electric in a different way, as John battles misconceptions about EV road taxes and digs into a high-profile Highlands Ranch garage fire. Was it the EV, the charger, or something entirely unrelated? Listeners are left questioning how quickly we jump to conclusions—and how often we get the facts wrong. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason takes a surprising and thoughtful turn as Patrick Payton—former mayor of Midland, Texas, longtime pastor, leadership consultant, and presidential leadership scholar—joins John for a powerful conversation about division, persuasion, and the lost art of human respect. Why can rival football fans shake hands after a brutal game, yet families can't make it through Christmas dinner without political warfare? Patrick shares insights from his new book, The Middle: How the Quiet Majority Can Mend a Divided Nation, explaining how both extremes—left and right—use fear, manipulation, and “otherizing” to control people. He offers practical strategies for navigating tense family gatherings, redirecting conflict, and approaching political disagreements with humility, patience, and genuine curiosity. After Patrick signs off, John turns to a viral claim that Trump voters should be legally forced to wear MAGA hats—raising an uncomfortable question: Are modern activists resurrecting tactics that eerily echo history's darkest movements? The conversation closes with John exposing how Agenda 21–style policies and rising Marxist rhetoric are creeping into Colorado politics, leaving listeners to ask: Are we still protecting freedom, or silently giving it away?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to rethink what truly matters as Christmas approaches: Are we clinging to gifts no one remembers, or to experiences no one forgets? But the hour quickly shifts from holiday wisdom to political reality as John delivers a bold, unfiltered prediction about Colorado's GOP governor's race.

From direct attacks on the press from a fascistic federal government to the explosion of AI and the closure and consolidation of news outlets around the country, truth itself is under direct, relentless assault, as are the journalists who have committed their lives to reporting the truth about what's happening in and to our world. And the intended result of these attacks is to create a more atomized, alienated, ignorant, disempowered public that is easier to divide, control, and manipulate. In this podcast, recorded at Red Emma's Cooperative Bookstore and Cafe in Baltimore on Nov. 22, 2025, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Mickey Huff, Eleanor Goldfield, and Mischa Geracoulis from Project Censored about the world-shaping role media play in our politics today, and about how independent journalists and the communities they serve must work together to fight back against the powerful's war on truth and truth-tellers. Guests: Project Censored website and Instagram Mickey Huff, Shealeigh Voitl, & Andy Lee Roth (Eds.), Project Censored, State of the Free Press 2025Movement Media Alliance websiteCredits: Audio Post-Production: Alina NehlichBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Recent attacks & immigration/vetting Ben and Senator Cruz link a shooting of National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C. to failures in vetting Afghan nationals admitted under “Operation Allies Welcome,” asserting a broader pattern of violence from inadequately vetted immigrants. They cite a TikTok bomb-threat arrest in Texas and connect these incidents to Biden administration policies. Border security and terrorism risk They argue that an “open” southern border has allowed individuals on terror watch lists to enter the U.S., warning of sleeper cells and describing human trafficking and violent crime as predictable outcomes of lax enforcement. Critique of Democratic officials & protests The conversation criticizes Rep. Rashida Tlaib for not condemning “Death to America” chants reportedly heard at a Dearborn, Michigan rally, framing this as emblematic of ideological refusal to confront radical Islamic terrorism. AI: geopolitical race & domestic skepticism The senator argues the U.S. must “win” the AI race against China to ensure global AI reflects American values. They note polling shows public anxiety about AI (job loss, distrust), and discuss local resistance to data center construction, energy needs, and the prospect of white‑collar job displacement. Auto policy: CAFE standards and EV mandates Ben and the Senator praise actions attributed to “the President” (portrayed as Donald Trump) to rescind tailpipe emissions standards, zero out CAFE standards via a “one big beautiful bill,” and roll back EV mandates—arguing these moves lower car prices, improve safety (heavier/steel cars vs. “plastic”), and boost U.S. auto jobs. They reference planned Senate Commerce Committee hearings with major automakers and Tesla. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Pipe Bomber Arrest (Main News Story) After nearly five years, the FBI arrested Brian J. Cole Jr., accused of planting pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021. The discussion criticizes the Biden administration for delaying the investigation despite having evidence early on. Quotes from Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino emphasize that the arrest was achieved through renewed focus under the Trump administration, not new tips. Raises questions about accountability for prior DOJ and FBI leadership. Three Major White House Events Monday: Signing of the Medals Act, authored by Cruz, which triples the monthly stipend for Medal of Honor recipients from $1,400 to $5,600. Tuesday: Launch of Trump Accounts, a financial initiative aimed at creating investment accounts for every child in America, seeded with $1,000 and allowing contributions up to $5,000 annually. Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion to support this program. Wednesday: Announcement of rolling back CAFE standards and EV mandates to reduce car prices and improve safety. The policy aims to lower costs, increase consumer choice, and restore steel in car manufacturing for safety. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

CAFE stands for “Corporate Average Fuel Economy.” An easy definition, via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is a regulation: …[on] how far our vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel. NHTSA sets CAFE standards for passenger cars and for light trucks (collectively, light-duty vehicles), and separately sets fuel consumption standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and engines. NHTSA also regulates the fuel-economy window stickers on new vehicles. Ending these regulations is part of complying with Trump’s “Unleashing American Energy” Executive Order and the [Transportation] Secretary's “Fixing the CAFE Program” Memorandum, according to the department’s homepage. On Wednesday, the president rattled off the investments in the United States that the auto companies have made since Trump 47 began in January. In one case, he cracked up the room by joking that they could do better than the billions of dollars they are promising: Trump added that it’s part of getting rid of more of the “Green New Scam,” too. https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996322694099345577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996322694099345577%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996325044260085885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996325044260085885%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996587083012378947?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/1996583802559136057?s=20 https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1996582009460732232?s=20   to a seasonally adjusted 191,000, the lowest level since September 2022, with expectations of 220,000. https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996431168883900552?s=20   fourth consecutive month-over-month decline.

He believed in protectionism (using high tariffs to protect American industries and workers from foreign competition). Just like President Trump. Between 1897–1901 the United States had just become the wealthiest and highest-output economy on EARTH, surpassing the United Kingdom as the world's #1 manufacturing nation and #1 economy in total GDP By 1900 U.S. industrial production was roughly equal to that of Britain, Germany, and France COMBINED.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Blasts Los Angeles County After It Votes to Ban ICE Agents from Wearing Masks Los Angeles County's far-left Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to advance an unprecedented ordinance that would ban law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from wearing masks while working in unincorporated areas of the county. The proposal passed 4-0, with only Supervisor Kathryn Barger abstaining. A final vote is scheduled for next week, and the ordinance would take effect in January 2026, according to the LA Times. Legal experts say federal immigration agents would not be required to follow a county mask ban. The county's top lawyer, Dawyn Harrison, has said she suspects the federal government will likely argue that the county law violates the Constitution, which states that federal law takes precedence over conflicting local statutes.  https://twitter.com/USAttyEssayli/status/1996040656733814854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996040656733814854%7Ctwgr%5E71ecedc2cdf5f5bfec40c6e10a4a461e8ffa25fd%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fassistant-u-s-attorney-blasts-los-angeles-county%2F   by the media and local politicians.

The “war on narco-terrorists” that Secretary Hegseth is bragging about is being run on a legal foundation poured years before Trump ever touched the Oval Office desk. Obama normalized the presidential kill list. He campaigned in 2008 promising rule of law, transparency, and restraint. He delivered a tenfold increase in drone strikes; a White House “Terror Tuesday” meeting where officials literally flipped through PowerPoint slides picking who lived or died; and a legal doctrine allowing the president to kill U.S. citizens without trial, notice, or judicial review. That doctrine – once unthinkable – is now standard operating procedure. Obama's Director of National Intelligence openly admitted in 2010 that the administration was targeting Americans based on vague criteria like whether a citizen was “involved” in a group “trying to attack us.” That’s not evidence… that’s vibes. When civil-liberties groups sued to force the government to explain the legal basis, Obama declared the entire matter a state secret. Meaning: the president could now kill you, and no court was allowed to ask why. The judiciary rubber-stamped it. Both parties embraced it. And the public largely applauded it. Then came the Awlaki killings. Obama ordered the drone assassination of: •⁠ ⁠Anwar al-Awlaki, an American cleric •⁠ ⁠Samir Khan, an American citizen standing next to him •⁠ ⁠Awlaki's 16-year-old son, killed two weeks later at a café The White House smeared the kid as a “21-year-old terrorist.” The next week a birth certificate proved he was a Colorado teenager with zero ties to extremism. The administration shrugged. Obama famously told aides: “Turns out I'm really good at killing people.” And Washington – media, political class, and voters – rewarded him. Fast-forward to 2025. Trump isn't inventing anything new in Venezuela. He's using the exact precedents Obama left behind: Unreviewable executive kill authority, expanded definitions of “enemy combatant,” secret memos. No congressional oversight, no geographic limits, zero court supervision. Obama created the kill switch. Trump just slammed it. If you cheered the drone program when your guy was doing it, you already endorsed what’s happening now. If you let the government redefine due process as “whatever we decide in secret,” you already consented to the next president weaponizing that power. And if you normalize extrajudicial force abroad, eventually it comes home. Obama built the architecture. Trump moved in. And Venezuela is learning what happens when a precedent meets a president with fewer brakes  EU corruption scandal could take down von der Leyen – Politico A corruption probe into former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has thrown European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's position into jeopardy, with opponents preparing to turn the affair into a fresh push to remove her, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing officials in the bloc. Mogherini, who served as the EU's top diplomat from 2014 to 2019 and is now rector of the College of Europe, was detained on Tuesday. She was formally accused by the European Public Prosecutor's Office of procurement fraud, corruption, conflict of interest, and breaches of professional secrecy over an EU-funded diplomatic academy program. In the wake of the scandal, von der Leyen “is facing the starkest challenge to the EU's accountability in a generation,” with her rivals renewing calls for a new no-confidence vote, Politico reported. source:rt.com NATO Members Commit More Than $1 Billion to Purchase U.S. Weapons for Ukraine NATO officials from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland pledged hundreds of millions more in U.S.-made weapons under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme, Ukrainian media reported. Amid Russian gains on the battlefield, they insist Ukraine must be armed “to keep the fight going.” The alliance offered these commitments while being accused of attempting to sabotage peace talks. Canada, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, and the U.K. all announced new contributions, pushing the total put toward U.S.-made weapons bound for Ukraine toward $5 billion this year alone. These newly allocated funds come at a time when many European governments, increasingly unpopular at home, are cutting domestic programs and warning of budget shortfalls.

French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy together with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and European Council President António Costa held a conference call. A transcript of the call was leaked to Spiegel, a German news outlet. According to the narrative the assembled group of EU leaders were discussing how the Trump administration was going to betray Ukraine in order to get a peace deal with Russia. The gist of the narrative sounds accurate, though some of the EU leaders are denying the specifics of the wording used. The EU is very worried President Trump may formulate a peace agreement then present the final terms to Ukraine without the EU being involved in the construct of the details. The EU is opposed to any peaceful end to the conflict, because the EU and NATO have positioned their collective economies to only benefit if the military spending continues; they are backstopping their spending with the confiscated Russian assets.   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com   Medical/False Flags https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1996567491334803864?s=20 [DS] Agenda https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/1996550058809188740?s=20   “Ilhan and this group, they spent a lot of money” “So, the people that work for Ilhan (0mar) are actually counting the ballots, counting the vote?” “They (Ilhan Omar’s campaign staffers) become a manager, in the precinct too.” Somalians who don't speak English are also told out how to vote “They walk with you to the booth and then they vote.

It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet J. Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Wednesday night. “And the goal is to cram as many people on there and make voters who are not particularly engaged, make it easy for someone else to help them fill out their ballot and return it for them when they didn’t care enough to do it themselves,” she added. “What we can do at the federal government level is ensure that our federal election laws are observed, and that includes each state’s requirement to keep clean voter rolls,” she added. “That is a fundamental basic.” Dhillon spoke one day after her division filed lawsuits against six Democrat-run states — Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington state and Vermont — seeking to compel them to turn over to the DOJ their voter rolls to be inspected for abnormalities, outdated names or noncompliant names. She also struck a deal last week with North Carolina to force it to review and fix over 100,000 voters’ names on rolls in that battleground state that were added without complying with state law. Dhillon said her office is now on track to force through litigation, settlement or voluntary efforts at least 26 states to clean up voter rolls. “We’re now in litigation with 14 states. So the six yesterday included Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington State and Vermont. That adds to eight we already had going,” she said.

Affordability and Economic Policy Trump says his administration is taking “historic action” to lower costs for American consumers. Key measures include: Rolling back fuel economy standards (terminating Biden-era CAFE standards). Criticism of electric vehicle mandates and environmental regulations, calling them part of the “Green New Scam.” Emphasis on keeping gasoline-powered cars widely available. Trump says these changes will make cars more affordable and protect American auto jobs. Mentions broader affordability goals: lowering prices of groceries, gas, and everyday goods. Mark Meadows comments on potential $2,000 “Trump tariff checks” to help offset inflation and rising costs. Immigration Crackdown and National Security Trump administration announces a freeze on legal migration pathways for nationals from 19 countries pending security checks. Countries include Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Venezuela, and others considered “high-risk.” Policy aims to review immigration benefits granted under Biden and prevent entry of individuals who could pose security threats.
