These people are not incompetent. They are doing all of this on purpose.
You are %100 correct. The term you're looking for is malfeasance.
I quite agree. To call them incompetent is extreme undeserved flattery. .
Doing anything wrong is, incompetant..
@@WilliamFairfield-qq2tq The terms are carefully crafted psychopathic conspiracies.
The term we are looking for is treason.
I Cannot afford, nor do I desire an EV. This administration can go straight to hell.
so keep being dependent on Saudi Arabia and the middle east? brilliant strategy.
@@BlackDragon209 You prefer being dependent on China? This country has VAST amounts of recoverable fossil fuels.
@@MichaelSheffield-ox8yd I'm with you Michael! On top of enriching China, EV's don't work worth a damn in really cold weather. They're also much heavier than a regular car of the same size. Think about those huge parking garages in cities with multiple floors. They'll start pancaking down & our roads will need a LOT more work.

I'm curious; do you have your head in the sand, or are you retired, without children?
Josh Hawley is one of the most underrated American patriots ever. he is consistently fighting for the American people.
He is from the Zou. Mizzourah. Misery. Missouri. Ooooo Rah. Tigers 🐅 🐯
Huh?
Wow
I hope he is there for a while. Overseas looking in .
Yes, he is respectful, but doesn't back down.
Praying next administration is better
He's an absolute bulldog, but he always acts with civility and wisdom.
Thank you Josh Hawley! You're a rock star as far as I'm concerned for exposing the constant bull crap we're dealing with constantly from these lefties
HAWLEY for PRESIDENT in 2024!!!
@@patriothank5838He’s not ready yet.
The disdain I have for this administration is immeasurable.
It is infuriating the nonsensical crap this administration is doing to this country. They are literally destroying this country one brick at a time. It is coming at us from every direction!
Same here. Cant get Trump in there fast enough to clean up
Ah, I bet you could measure it. Just use a bigger cistern.
You should measure it in calibers.
Orange man bad!
These people don't care about the environment or the American people. They care about making as much money as they can, any way they can.
Then you must hate the GOP and the Saudis!
vote Trump
You mean the Admin? You would be right - they are making money off this and China is the world's worst destroyer of the environment - so they want to punish us
It appears that they only care about how much money China can make. UNLESS they are investing in Chinese companies. Ahhh yes they are.
They work for other Governments that pay or have compromised them. It’s getting pretty obvious to the people.
Thank You, Josh Hawley for trying to protect us "little" people as vigorously as you do !!
Nothing little about you warrior..God Bless You❤
Hawley spends several minutes voicing each of his 'questions' which are, of course, statements. Hawley is wrong on everything, but when the respondent tries to answer (to set the record straight), he's cut off loudly by Hawley, because it's not what Hawley wants to hear.
Exactly!!@@brahmburgers
And then winter comes 😂
Can someone explain to me what right any government has
to tell its citizens what sort of car to drive?
Easy ….”climate crisis emergency “
The democrat politicians are heavily invested in the EV. So they made a law requiring a certain % of cars in America to be EV. Forcing Americans to buy these shit cars so they make millions.
This is what happens when they vote democrats in office. Only 1 party requires its citizens to be dependent on the government to stay in power.
@@farnumbp- There is none.
they are smarter than us and like to prove that every day. Peasants elect these people to RULE them ..At least thats what the leaders think
This is what happens when the trust of the People is betrayed.
Yes Jan 6th.
Most people see the evolution of the technology. Those that are going to allow other countries to dominate the market are the ones I don't trust
They all look so good until their illegal income comes to the lights . Nothing more Boring than staged political shows
@@richardmesser1091 Right, January 6, the insurrection that wasn't. What else ya got?
Just look at (what was) our southern border
Thank you Josh!!!! Go standing up in a positive light for the American people. We need, "WAY" more of this, and "WAY" more people like Josh!!!
Thank God for Josh Hawley
The Incompetence of This Administration is Outrageous, Where Do They Find These People!!😅
If EVs are so good, why do they have to pay people to drive them in the first place?
It's infuriating that someone who might be fortunate enough to buy a lower end vehicle, then have their tax dollars 1:59 subsidize a rich persons new 70,000 dollar EV.
Because they do not. Why would people want to spend time at a charging station vulnerable to all kinds of crime and your life!???
They are already obsolete. It's a scam.Thats why they are not going to install the infrastructure for them....Question for all you smart people out there : Has man built a machine that is able to create its own gravitational field out of thin air ? What happens to everything you know about free energy if he has ?
…I have yet to hear a solid response, from EV supporters, to this question.
Ever notice that when The Green Cult are extolling their EVs, they never mention the subsidies they get from the American People?
Josh Is one of very few politicians looking out for American workers who is smart enough to expose the elites who are privy to game plan laws & regulations that benefit them while average Americans can’t possibly understand it’s at their and our country’s expense. Thank God for men like him…
All the rich people who want this are detached from reality and the damage this is and will ultimately inflict, because it makes them feel good.
This is BS. The American people can choose what they want. Government doesn't control the people. These are people that work for us. So fire them, we are the boss.
Who's telling you what to buy??
Funny, stop kidding yourself.
@@Dan-sc7us No one. This is a republicans natural reaction to any program or plans a government makes. The idea that a decade to fifteen years out. they are concerned about products on the market. They truly think in 15 years, ICE vehicles will be king
@@Dan-sc7usgovernment banning gas vehicles is forcing people to purchase electric. Pleb
My question is, what happened to THE LAND OF THE FREE?
We need more Josh Hawleys in Washington.
We need more men like Josh Hawley in the government of the USA.
Hawley is good in some issues but horrible on others.
@vagabondwastrel2361….for example, what?
@@bobtransvaal144 free speech. In the wash I like Hawley but I just wish he had more of a libertarian streak. Far too often politicians have pointless positions. Such as his stance of censoring porn.
It will just end up like the online gambling websites. Originally America banned online gambling so sites from other countries did it and America had no say in the sites, they were still used by Americans and America lost the revenue.
I think he had a few other positions that I disagreed with but he is currently a mostly anti administrative state member.
He’s a shill for Israel.
It's fortunate the country has officials like Josh hawley. Well spoken and well expressed thought out questions(grilling) .. he's so good that I worry for his safety.
Josh Hawley kicks ass once again! Go Josh!
i love when bureaucrats try to rationalize wasting taxpayer money and gamble with our safety sovereignty and security
I'm convinced that they are the single greatest threat to the American public. They're not elected, many times unregulated and go around the laws put in front of them by Congress in order to achieve their narrative. Most of them are done behind closed doors and unless someone like this senator brings it to light, we'd never know about it. What we have here is a prefect example of it. The law says one thing, but they distorted it to fit their needs.
100% that.
Then they think people are so dumb and gullible, they will accept all the subversion and corruption a the norm.
Nobody's gambling.
This administration already sold all that stuff to China for fractions of a penny on the dollar.
Why would you "love" that?
If EV's are so great why is it recommended not to park them in your garage for fear of fire?
I love how he says we aren’t doing that and then proceeds to say, only with 13 approved models….
Lemme get this straight, we’re putting all of our time, money and effort changing the logistics of an entire supply chain in order to only be able to say we are good little climate fighters?
Oh hell, it’s worse than that. We’re paying China to help us build non-polluting EVs so we can stop “Global Warming” (you know, that thing Al Gore warned us about in 1997 - “We’ll all be dead by 2020”). Meanwhile China has more coal buring plants than any other country in the world and are building more every day. Brilliant!
Not many US Senators impress us in the international community, but Josh here has earned respect.
I agree. Hawley is sharp and has my vote if he decides to consider himself qualified to be the Commander in Chief .
@@markofreeman6869 Hawley is sharp like a sharp stick in the eye is sharp...yeah, "sharp" but NOT what anyone with any intelligence wants!
There has to be a camera present for Hawley to get vocal. Otherwise nothing is accomplished.
Josh Hawley and Clay Higgens are simply the best of our United States Senate. They hold the clown's feet to the fire!!
@@georgetaylor1063 The camera is always there and has been since at least the 1980's. So, I guess Hawley is always vocal.
Don't buy an EV, period.
Love Josh Hawley. A fine American.
This man needs to be relieved of his position and arrested
Impossible to take anyone serious who believes in anything “Green” - EV’s will go down as the biggest production scam ever 😮
It already is
"Exactly just look what Hertz rental cars is trying to do with their EV they are trying to sell them! they want gas back now go figure.
In the 50's an etsel maybe wrong spelling
The COVID vaccines are a close second to this.
@@deannelynn The "Edsel" was a great car. It was AHEAD of it's time, that's why people rejected it. They were not comfortable with it, as it was "too modern".
And the witness just said “we aren’t doing that” then immediately said only 13 models now qualify, and we hope more coming online”. So- yes they are doing it.
This exchange reminded me so much of the court scene in the move Idiocracy.
and he says, "we added 130,000 jobs so it is a good law!"
70% of the jobs are in government regulatory and inspection, but what the hey!
Bidens cabinet sold out to China. Look at the parents and grandparents of his cabinet. Bolschvicks. This is scary as hell.
These models are the ones that will blow up in your malls, destroy the homes and cause distraction of the insurance industry and then there is the added cost to the owner of its final distruction as it has little scrap value but will be costlier to even destroy
Right!!!
Stand up Fight back
Why do they allow these people to ramble on without answering the questions?
This country is grateful for a man like Josh Hawley nothing gets by this man and that is exactly what we need because he is fighting for all of, us and I personally respect this man.
I have great respect for Josh Hawley ! He's like a Jewish mother, He won't let go of anything once he's got it. !
He took over for Trey Gowdy in terms of hammering people on their BS!

Hawley is wrong on everything, but when the respondent tries to answer (to set the record straight), he's cut off loudly by Hawley, because it's not what Hawley wants to hear. Hawley is hurting the USA, and is too dumb to know he's doing it.
Josh Hawley is so fun to watch. Great job!!
But watch closely or you're liable to miss him. He runs away faster than almost anybody in Washington.
How much campaign money does Hawley get from oil lobbyist? BTW USA PER CAPITA produces more pollution than China. Also RECORD NUMBER of OIL PRODUCED under Biden.
Go Josh!
Some of the best fiction ever written! Will Rogers said it best: "We have the best politicians that money can buy!"
US Automakers are beginning to back out of the EV game because they are losing huge money on every EV that they make. Nobody except some wealthy persons that can afford to buy them. Many US buyers are not interested in EVs.
Rental firm Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ.O) is selling about 20,000 electric vehicles, including Teslas, from its U.S. fleet about two years after a deal with the automaker to offer its vehicles for rent, in another sign that EV demand has cooled.
The only EVs worth considering are the higher end models $50k+. The tax credit is pretty absurd when you can consider who can afford these cars in the first place, especially when current interest rates are around 7%.
Out of the 13 vehicles currently eligible for the tax credit there’s really only 1 “affordable”car for the average American, the Chevy Bolt. The average middle/low income family isn’t going to want a tiny car with a 250mile range and slow charging speeds.
I will take advantage of the tax credit because I want to get a Tesla Performance model, but does it make sense to offer me tax dollars to buy a cool fast car? No 😂
Imagine waiting at a charging station with the crime we have now?
@@taroman7100 Let's see...no cash register or product to steal, cars that have cameras and likely won't get far (or anywhere) if stolen...unless you mean stealing the technology at the stations themselves. Sitting at a park minding your business can be just as dangerous.
I have a secret .These evs are going to be obsolete bricks in just a few more years...a new form of energy is coming, and you all are going to love it ...because it's free and it's more powerful than anything you have ever seen before .Electricity is all around us ,and so is something else that can be harnessed ,and those 2 to equals magic...think ,it's what makes woman pay millions to surgeon's to give them the awful Pelosi brow effect 😊
Go Hawley go.......you make our state proud.
Run JOSH Run!✊
LOL! Proud of Missouri??
@@Dan-sc7us it could always be worse. Thank God it's not worse!
@@Dan-sc7usMissourians are proud that they're not part of the east and west coast nut jobs.
@@Dan-sc7usyou can criticize the Midwest but when I say derogatory remarks about the east and west coast they take my free speech down.
Why I'd any Chinese company eligible for any American tax payer money??? What the hell. Why is my, and the American peoples tax money being used to prop up and pay a foreign adversary?? This is ridiculous.
I get a sense to vomit everytime one of them responds arrogantly "thank you for the question, im happy to answer that". The urge to rebuke that snide attitude is overwhelming for some reason.
Thank you, Josh! Don’t let them spin this with their word salad!
Please notice that "they" were allowed to end this video on a (terribly false) positive note.

@@brahmburgers What this gentleman is saying does not address what Josh Hawley is asking for clarification. It’s a bunch of words thrown together that sound positive but have no substance or reality.
@@Mariana-eh3kpWe don't agree. Hawley and MTG have the character of attack dogs. One does it in a swarmy way, while continually shouting down answers he doesn't like. The other does it with a voice that could cut linoleum coupled to a snail brain.
@@brahmburgers Yes, we don’t agree. I don’t get emotional about it.
Whenever they reply with “so….” You know it’s BS. This guy did it several times. Another thing they do is say “thank you for the question” just to kill a few seconds while they concoct a lie. Happens in every hearing before Congress.
Thank You! 😌Glad I'm not the only one who considers those very intentional 'time wasters' as nails on a chalkboard!! You would think they'd already have their lies written down on their cue cards and in fat binders like the rest of the admin.!
I second, rather third your comment
The "Thank you for the question." bit is actually a mantra of pushed respect shown to a dictative body like the Chinese are taught to do. It's psychological warfare against Americans and our ideals from another country into our own Congress, a slap in the face to us who know this comes from a Communist source.
💯
I hate that @
Over and over... Thank you, Senator. Thank you, Senator !!
enter SCREAM here !!
God bless you Josh. You are a Patriot
Every thunderstorm brings electricity loss, so now they want people to rely on electric vehicles? Lunacy.
Praying for Josh that he’s able to have America and congress realizes what they are doing. 🙏🏻
🙏🙏🙏 Amen❣️
Have or save? I am sure it is save, and it sure is pathetic. And to think, the mere criticism of Trump was considered Trump Derangement Syndrome, and here you are
Everybody knows what’s going on. Can anyone name one thing Republican Senators are doing to stop any of this? These Tom and Jerry cartoons on Forbes don’t accomplish anything.
The US has the only 2% of the world’s crude oil reserves and we’re running out of cheap crude quickly yet because of Hawley and friends we’re not the leaders in EV production. In less than a decade we’ll be importing most of our crude oil again and be at the mercy of foreign countries for our crude oil. That’s what Hawley and friends want. Gas engines and diesels will be with us forever and any EV that relieves the demand is good for the US. Anyone in z X Congress who doesn’t understand that should resign. Josh?
Do you live on Mars? They have already taken the country over with two-tier justice system. Nothing will happen. America is in the hands of the patriots and that's she wrote.
If the United States cancelled all investment in electric vehicles would that not cause a monumental financial collapse in China? This would be a win-win situation for the United States.
Well, Biden is President. Come on man!😬😬😬
No it wouldn't. But the united states could drill enough oil to make enough money to completely take over the ev market worldwide . And then build the infrastructure nessarry to convert America to evs without even sending China one dime in the process. We do not have to rely on China for anything, but we pay them more money than we pay ourselves and we have been doing this for a very long time
You make too much sense.
💯🎯 so simple, yet we are led by imbiciles/greedy imbiciles
Nope. Americans don’t buy that many. But I still like your suggestion. Let the market decide.
Bless you Sen. Hawley💪🏾😃
They are not on our side😅😅
How much of this EV deal with China was discussed at the Biden Penn Center?
All of it! TRUMP 2024!
It appears China has done well with their investment in the Brandon Crime Family
I live 300 miles from my relatives, which is usually a 5 hour drive. There is NO WAY, I am going to drive or be able to drive to visit them with an electric car. I don't want to spend my WHOLE day driving and stopping at the stations to recharge. 5 hours with a gas car is exhausting enough.
talk about not answering a question. This fool is in charge. Let him get away with it. BS...
Thank God for this man the only sane man of them all period
Just have so very much respect for Josh Hawley👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
I love the simple truth Sen. Haley reveals!!
PREACH Hawley ✅
Go get em Josh.
Thank U Mr. Hawley. This administration has to be stopped!!!!!
NO ONE WANTS EVs, i will NEVER buy an EV
Seems you are wrong yet again
UNbelievable
Thank you Josh Holley F J. B
The batteries in these electric vehicles last about 10 years of normal use before they need replacing. Replacement cost is $10,000 to $15,000. Most people can't afford that.
Or $60,000 for the Hyundai IonIQ, which is more than Kelly Blue Book value and the cost rivals the price of a new IonIQ...
Go Josh Hawley! Thank you! Show the world the truth!
136,000 jobs making crap. Good paying jobs he says. Would be take that job. Hell no
Right now...
Now...
This dude gave himself away.
Let's Go Brandon!
I haven't seen anyone address this joker's first comment yet concerning "cost savings." The energy secretary is completely, totally clueless. $1000/year in maintenance costs saved with an EV? Every year? No way!
Oil and brake changes don't cost $1000 a year. Maybe $150 a year on average since brakes are not even replaced yearly. All the rest - tires, windshield wipers, etc, are consumed just the same as an EV. Brakes on an EV do last longer (about twice as long) because of generative braking, but they still need to be changed during the lifetime of the battery. So I have no idea where they're coming up with that kind of savings. EV batteries slowly degrade from day 1, just like cell phone batteries, and have to replaced at 100k to 200k miles, and that costs $16,000 (Tesla Model 3) which is far more than buying a totally rebuilt ICE engine and having it installed.
That number is likely an average over the life of the car. Gas engines on average will have more maintenance costs over their lifespan.
IF, only regarding his claim, that 1000/ year were true or accurate it's 7-10 years before the price offset would be if ANY benefit. BUT, loss of jobs, increased maintenance costs: battery, charging limitations are factored in, IT'S A LOSING DEAL FOR THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS - Period!
@@tamariecarmack1496 If that's what you believe, keep your car, let the rest of the country progress. No one is forcing you personally to do anything.
He has a lotta nerve restricting the marketplace like that. That's a dictator move, 100%.
It’s called money laundering
You go Josh Hawley!! We need honest voices like yours!!’
I live in Texas. It's always hot. Batteries don't like heat.

I loooooooove Josh Hawley ❤❤❤❤❤❤ He reminds me of Jimmy Stewart ❤❤❤❤ He is presidential material ❤
Tesla in 1909 used salt for his electric vehicle that only required one charge a year, not lithium. Funny that.
Sen. Josh Hawley - Keep up the great work!!!
Meanwhile, people in the northern Midwest can't get or keep a full charge into their EV's due to the cold weather. My well-tuned gas-powered '99 pickup and '16 car both start -- and run as far as a full tank allows -- without a problem. These bureaucratic barnacles love to talk about how many jobs this foolish spending has created. How many jobs have been lost due to reduced manufacturing of internal combustion-powered vehicles? Think of all the jobs associated with vehicles, including parts, repair, fuel stations, delivery of said fuel... Yet, everything considered, EV's are more expensive in the long run. Don't even get me started on the climate change lies. 😡
Thank you, Mr. Hawley!
These people are sick.
You should be HONESTLY report on the EV fires, battery life and costs for battery replacement as well as the environmental problems in destroying or disposing of the “spent or dead” batteries. Also be truthful about the exorbitant maintenance costs to EV owners. We still are seriously lacking facts we can believe and/or trust about all these pitfalls!
Not counting the devastating environmental impact from mining for lithium,which is a rare element
Thank You Josh for not letting his lies fly. I’m so tired of hearing the wording; where you know over and over they are evading the question.
Keep The Faith And Keep Up The Fire, Senator Hawley.
These EVs also hard on our roads because they weigh 1,000 lbs more than a gas vehicle.
Like that makes much difference with the US's addiction to stupid oversized trucks.
@@Frost_Saber those stupid oversized gas trucks don't have 100% torque on demand - EV's are tearing up the road and wasting rubber in multiple tire replacements vs their gas vehicle counterparts .... Like every progressive liberal policy, they haven't thought this through ....
Why did the automakers stand still for this without suing ?
China is completing one coal-powered electric plant every week. Meanwhile, we are buying Chinese solar panels and Chinese lithium batteries, which China doesn’t buy themselves to support their own electric grid. Hmmmm…
Much respect for Senator Josh Hawley. 😊
Thank you Josh Hawley for all your hard work
America does not have the infrastructure to support EV’s. We just don’t. This is a slow Coup
There is not enough Lithium currently available in the world, nor is there a practical way to obtain enough to facilitate everyone having an EV. This doesn't even consider the environmental impact of the lithium-ion battery waste and the environmental impact of actually MINING Lithium. EVs are neither "green" nor "affordable"
@@Lucitin That's how you know this entire "green energy" campaign is designed to destroy any country that is stupid enough o embrace it. All these people with all these cellphones in their pockets and not one has read the facts about EV's. We've got serious problems.
Trouble is, he's all about selling us out. Any kickbacks?
The energy secretary is a weasel
This is pure force in a entity no one wants but our enemies.
EV’s is having less maintenance is irrelevant and possibly not even true. They’re really hard on tires and suspension. They are also much harder on the road surface. Electric vehicles don’t last more than seven to 10 years. A Toyota can last 40 years. Electric vehicles have a stupid carbon footprint because they don’t last 40 years.
The EVs are not doing real well in the snow.
Was wondering when someone is going to be held accountable????
Josh is a great guy. He's dealing with the most DMF that ever existed!
