Donald Trump eased the pressure on American carmakers by signing an executive order to reimburse some levies on imported auto parts and exempt them from additional duties.
In a surprising move, car manufacturers aim to remove AM radio from vehicles, a vital tool for rural communities. As Troy Miller of National Religious Broadcasters discusses, this is more than just outdated tech — it's a potential shift in control over information and free access to diverse viewpoints. Despite claims of interference with electric car batteries, a simple, inexpensive fix exists, raising questions about motives related to the predominance of conservative, Christian, and Spanish-language content on AM airwaves. Discover why preserving AM radio might be essential for maintaining liberty, security, and important communication, especially in emergencies.

President Trump suggested temporarily exempting auto tariffs to give carmakers time to adjust supply chains. Automakers rely on international partners like Canada, Mexico, and China, making a fully U.S.-made car nearly impossible, experts say.
Carmakers say sales soared last month as buyers snapped up vehicles in attempts to get ahead of the tariffs President Donald Trump is set to announce later today. Vehicle sales could fall after tariffs are implemented and car prices surge. Plus, U.S. businesses went on a hiring spree in March. How exactly can jobs affect interest rates? We’ll discuss.

The hosts opened the show by discussion Rivian's “micromobility” operation, which was recently spun off from the parent company. "ALSO," as the new concern is called, is headquartered in California, and will focus on designing and building e-bikes, scooters, and other small electric vehicles. Tom also briefly addressed the tariff situation, which is likely to become much bigger news in the next day or so. The hosts also lamented the violence being wrought upon Tesla cars and showrooms. Tom expressed his surprise regarding the general excellence of the new-for-2025 Kia K4 small sedan. A replacement for the brand's Forte model, the K4 is efficient, fun to drive, and also surprisingly affordable. Jill reviewed the 2025 Lexus NX 450h+, a plug-in hybrid version of the Japanese luxury carmaker's compact crossover. Though Jill balked at the price, her impressions were mostly positive. Listen in for her full review. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Derek Kravitz of Consumer Reports to the show. Derek shared research conducted by Consumer Reports regarding car data privacy, and what consumers can do to protect themselves from makers sharing their personal information. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Fake Paint” quiz.
Wednesday's announcement of new tariffs on all non-US-made cars sent shockwaves through the markets, with stock markets worldwide feeling the ripple effects. Carmakers were among the hardest hit, while some investors sought safer havens in more stable sectors, such as consumer packaged goods, where share prices rose. In the Asia-Pacific region, markets were largely down, despite news that Chinese President Xi Jinping had met with global CEOs in Beijing and speculation that Trump may cut tariffs on Chinese goods to facilitate a TikTok deal. Against this backdrop, gold reached yet another record high overnight.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with John Catsimatidis, one of America's top entrepreneurs and a tireless advocate advancing pro-growth policies. Catsimatidis is the owner and CEO of the Red Apple Group, a conglomerate that owns and operates assets in the energy, real estate, finance, insurance, and supermarket industries. John Catsimatidis is also the author of The Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly Bestseller — "How Far Do You Want to Go?: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire." In March 2020, John Catsimatidis's Red Apple Media Inc., a subsidiary of Red Apple Group, Inc. completed the acquisition of Talk Radio 77 WABC, an iconic New York City radio station. The conversation focuses on Catsimatidis's recent meeting with President-elect Donald J. Trump in Mar-a-Lago, his conversation with Steve Forbes on the urgency of tax cuts in America, and his thoughts on economic issues impacting American families and the need for immigration reform. John Catsimatidis shares his concerns about the challenges faced in key cities across America including New York City and how ill-advised policies have led people to leave one of America's greatest cities. The trend of a mass exodus of citizens and businesses leaving states that are pushing failed economic and far-left policies can been seen in other states including California, known as the "Golden State." AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act Business and community leaders have been advocating for AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. John Catsimatidis elevates this concern which is a national security issue. Unfortunately, the legislative measure was not included in the final major legislation of the 118th Congress - the Continuing Resolution. First responders, state and community leaders have emphasized AM radio's critical role in addressing emergencies. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @JCats2013 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

The new tailpipe emissions standards are designed to force auto manufacturers to ensure that nearly 70% of all such vehicles sold will be zero-emission models within a decade. “ Source: dailycaller.com Biden's New EV Mandate Is A ‘Bloodbath' For Consumers, Carmakers, And The ‘Climate' The EPA is rolling out stringent tailpipe rules correctly described as an ‘electrical vehicle mandate in disguise.' As spring begins, let us think back to an icy time in January when Tesla owners were stranded because their electric vehicle batteries flatlined in the subzero temps and many charging stations were dead or dying. In the name of President Joe Biden's bogus “climate change” agenda, the Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday announced new automobile emissions standards aimed at reducing “fleetwide average carbon emissions” by 56 percent by 2032. Some call the mandate ambitious, others call it insane. Ultimately, it will force many more unpopular and unreliable EVs out on the highways. Daren Bakst, director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Center on Energy and Environment, said the emissions standard is “one of the most extreme rules ever finalized by a federal agency.” “The EPA's rule would restrict the ability of Americans to buy gas-powered vehicles, a chilling abuse of power and a wanton disregard for individual freedom,” Bakst said in a statement. “Unhinged from reality, the EPA is ignoring the fact that consumers don't want to buy electric vehicles at the level the Biden administration envisions.” But most Americans don't want an EV. A Yahoo Finance and Ipsos poll conducted a few months before the EV freeze found that 57 percent of respondents said electric vehicles weren't on their car-buying shopping list. Only 31 percent of respondents said they were likely to buy an EV. Automakers have gotten the message. Ford and GM have stopped manufacturing and selling some of their battery-powered vehicles. Rental car company Hertz announced earlier this year plans to sell a third of its EV fleet on shrinking demand. Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr was particularly hurt by his decision to go all-in on EVs. He is no longer with the company. Speaking of sunshine, Biden's press team at The New York Times spent plenty of column space blowing it up their r...

Trump is letting the people know that we must set the tone to let the [DS] know we're coming for justice. The direction is clear, the people must rise up and vote the tyrannical fake government out of DC. The storm is coming.

For example, a Tesla that gets the equivalent of 65 MPG, receives tax credits as if the Tesla gets 430 MPG. Electric-Vehicle Cheating Scandal The Wall Street Journal comments on The Electric-Vehicle Cheating Scandal It's hard to think of a worse environmental scandal in recent years than Volkswagen's 2015 diesel-emissions cheating. The German automaker was rightly pursued by regulators, enforcement agencies and class-action lawyers. The scandal ended up costing Volkswagen an estimated $33 billion in fines and financial settlements—and revealed that diesel-emissions cheating was endemic. When it comes to electric cars, the government has a cheating scandal of its own. Under an Energy Department rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid), it is counted as having an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality or law. Until recently, this subsidy was a Washington secret. Carmakers and regulators liked it that way. Regulators could announce what sounded like stringent targets, and carmakers would nod along, knowing they could comply by making electric cars with arbitrarily boosted compliance values. Consumers would unknowingly foot the bill. The secret is out. After environmental groups pointed out the illegality of this charade, the Energy Department proposed eliminating the 6.67 multiplier for electric cars, recognizing that the number “lacks legal support” and has “no basis.” [Let's not mince words, how about … illegal subsidy] Carmakers have panicked and asked the Biden administration to delay any return to legal or engineering reality. That is understandable. Without the multiplier, the Transportation Department's proposed rules are completely unattainable. But workable rules don't require government-created cheat codes. Carmakers should confront that problem head on. Illegal Credits this scandal is buried deep in the Federal Register—on page 36,987 of volume 65. Since the tax credits “lack legal support” and have “no basis”, all the beneficiaries should have to return their illegal gains.
