On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Congress is back in session and they're looking at gun control and impeachment. The Democrats suggest that supporters of the Second Amendment are bought and paid for by the NRA despite the NRA not even existing at that time. The media talk about gun deaths but never talks about Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard deaths. Since 1975, this has been the biggest threat to the left because the automobile represents the ability for citizens to exercise their liberty. So the left attacks combustion engines and the CAFE standards failed to improve the environment or curtail the use of cars. More Americans are killed and maimed by these CAFE standards than soldiers that have fought in both Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a truth that CNN won't report. Then, Hydrofracking has paved the way for the U.S to become energy independent, but the left is trying to stop that too. MS-13 gang violence is hurting America yet the media — our destructive free press — turns a blind eye. When the media doesn't do its job and become complicit in advocacy and misinformation it does a disservice to the very same people it's supposed to protect from disinformation. Later, Rep. Jerrold Nadler has reintroduced his idea to impeach the president now that U.S Attorney John Durham has made headway on the criminal investigation that he's overseeing into the abuse of the FISA Court. Nadler's committee is eviscerating the very process that they falsely claim they're trying to defend and they don't even realize that they have opened Pandora's box. Finally, Mark Morgan, the current Acting Commissioner of the Customs and Border Protection, joins the show to discuss the Administration's success in building sections of secure fencing and decreasing the number of illegal border crossings over the past three months.

IER's policy team discusses possible impacts of recently proposed changes to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.
Please RSVP to expedite check-in A live webcast will be streamed at 2:00 PM EST at www.eesi.org/livecast (wireless connection permitting) To cut petroleum usage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fuel efficiency standards are set to rise significantly by 2025 under the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) standards—jointly administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and EPA. However, the automotive marketplace has changed significantly since the standards were written in 2009. Sustained low gas prices and the growing popularity of trucks and SUVs have led the auto industry to claim that it will be impossible to meet both 2025 and long-term efficiency standards without significant changes to the programs. Fortunately, there is another low-cost pathway available to regulators to preserve strong fuel efficiency standards and improve fuel quality. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing examining how high-octane, low-carbon fuel can enable CAFE compliance. Research suggests that high-octane, low-carbon fuel is the lowest-cost compliance option for both consumers and the automotive industry.

It is long been argued that fuel economy standards lead to vehicle weight changes that can potentially increase accident fatalities. Using unconditional quantile regressions, this paper is the first to document the effect of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard on vehicle weight dispersion. We find that CAFE increased dispersion, which increases fatalities, but also lowered mean weight, which will reduce fatalities. When combined, removing these weight changes from 17 million accidents, we find that on net CAFE actually saved more than 100 lives per year. Further, total lives saved increases if vehicle footprint is maintained, suggesting that outcomes could improve even further if the new footprint based standard effectively preserves vehicle size while allowing for weight changes according to precedent.
