If you weren't already convinced that corporations control the federal government, look at the
administration's efforts to roll back fuel economy standards for cars.
This entire initiative was created, it was drafted, and it was executed by fossil fuel
industry types and the administration, Trump, gave them a rubber stamp for that kind of
approval.
This is, this is a disgusting story.
Okay.
Now you've heard me beat on, I try, as you know, I try to call balls and strikes.
I beat on Republicans, I beat on Democrats.
I beat on Obama quite a bit, but to his credit, he did have a plan to do something about oil
consumption in the United States.
His goal was to have it have oil consumption cut in half by saying that we want cars that
by 2025 can accomplish that.
Right?
Had it underway.
It was, you know, obviously working.
The oil industry then gets together secretly, very secretive, run by the Koch brothers by
the way.
We think, you know, if you look at the media now, it kind of looks like the Koch brothers
have become liberals because they want, they want people to be able to come across the
border and you go, what?
And you know what that's about.
They're just looking for cheap labor.
So here we have the Koch brothers that have secretly have this, this underway, and what
they're secretly trying to do is they're trying to say we can't, that we can double the amount
of oil, of fuel that an SUV uses.
And if we do that, we can do it by, by taking away these laws that Obama tried to push through.
And if we do that, we're going to make an extra 350 to 400,000 barrels of oil be sold
in the United States.
They've done, they've done the computation.
They say, if we roll this back, we're going to sell an extra 400, 400 million barrels
of oil.
Heck, with the fact, oh they say we can do this because why?
Because we're writing the laws, we're paying everybody and see that's, just so people understand,
that's 400,000 extra barrels of oil per day.
Per day, yeah.
Per day, not per year, per day, and when this new rule was announced and this administration
came out and said, listen, we're going to roll back fuel economy standards.
My first thought was I should slam my head into the desk, but second was obviously this
is going to benefit fossil fuel companies, but other than that, why in the hell would
they even?
What's the motivation there?
Because he's not going to make money off it.
You know Scott Pruitt who did it, he wasn't going to make money off of it, but it turns
out they weren't even the ones who wrote it and that's what, you know, New York Times
to their credit, did a phenomenal expose on this and it really was.
It was drafted by the Koch brothers groups and by ALEC working together.
But let's be clear about that.
The industry drafted the legislation and handed it to the to the people who had to make some
change.
Right.
They're the ones, the industry actually drafted every word of it, hand it to the bureau, to
the bureaucrats, hand it to the, you know, to the folks that should be doing what they're
supposed to do and looking over everybody's shoulder.
They hand it to them and those are the, and then it becomes the talking points.
I mean, that's exactly what happened here.
Drafted by the industry.
We see it in Congress all the time.
We want to see legislation change the industry drafts it themselves, word for word.
Gives it to some creep Congress person, that Congress person then puts it on the floor
and makes it into the discussion, but it's all drafted by the industry.
Interesting thing about this.
Their rationale for why they should do this is because we no longer have a fuel crisis.
That's the rationale.
We have a ton of oil out there.
We don't have to worry about anything.
So now's the time to change that law since we have so much out there.
Heck, with the future.
Right.
Yeah, we don't need to worry about the air pollution or the reduced asthma attacks and
heart attacks from increasing fuel efficiency, so instead, while the president is out there
on twitter every day talking about how low gas prices are, which yeah they're coming
down, which is great, but it's not going to be great when you suddenly have to buy twice
as much gas because your car's fuel efficiency just went from if it's an SUV from 15 miles
per gallon back down to the 8 miles a gallon that we saw with suv was built during the
Bush administration.
Alright, let's beat the hell out of Facebook right now.
Okay.
Let's, let's you and I beat the ever living hell out of Facebook.
I got to tell you somehting.
I, I've got facebook accounts, I'm closing them.
I mean I'm literally closing them down.
Okay, so facebook understands exactly what's going on.
They're participating in this campaign and they're actually allowing advertising that
they know is completely false.
Facebook understands that this is completely a sham, but the major campaigns that these,
the oil industry is running is through Facebook and they're telling people, here's their talking
point.
Gee whiz, Joe, you ought to have the right to choose whatever car you want to drive,
and there's some bureaucrat in Washington and Obama and matter of fact that they actually
have Obama's picture where they say, would you buy a car from this man?
In other words, they're attacking Obama for doing what he was supposed to do.
They're attacking the bureaucrats for doing what they're supposed to do.
In saying on this Facebook, get rid of Facebook.
I swear to God, get rid of it is become an absolute disaster, but at any rate, Facebook
is now saying, well, yeah, we kind of understand what we're doing and yeah, we're removing
this person because we don't like their political attitude.
We're removing this person because they're too progressive too liberal and too fringe.
We're removing this person because they're too much to the right, but we're going allow
industry to lie to the American public and we're going to participate in it.
What is your take?
Am I overreacting to this?
No.
Tell me if I am.
Because what happened is, you know, the Koch groups, ALEC, they funded these ads on Facebook
and more than a quarter of the public comments, because this was an EPA rule, you had to get
the public comments before you could kill it.
More than a quarter of them, more than 25 percent came directly from those Facebook
ads and those were all people saying, hell yeah, we want five miles per gallon.
We want two miles per gallon.
I want the freedom.
I want to buy the car I want, the freedom.
Yeah, bring the Hummers back to our streets.
You remember when I handled the tobacco, well you were a kid.
You'd started with me kinda I think when we started the tobacco litigation, but part of
this talking point back then was, damn it, don't let them take your freedom away.
If you want to smoke and kill yourself, you should be able to do that.
This is America.
This is the same kind of ad.
You know?
Nobody should be able to tell you what kind of car you want to drive.
Don't let them do that.
Vote to do away with these, with these limitations.
Facebook participating like you know, oh yeah, this sounds like, this sounds right, but we're
going to, we're going to take this person off of Facebook because what they said was
offensive to some nerd head working up in Portland, Oregon or wherever they are, and
that nerd had says, oh, we can't allow this to happen.
Isn't that how it works?
Yeah, and at the same time also leaking the data of tens of millions of their users and
illegally spying on them and letting other companies spy on them.
Facebook is Satan incarnate.
It is and I don't know why people aren't buying, I don't know why.
You know what you go there, it is, oh, here's Susie's birthday.
Here's the new truck Susie got for, I mean, come on man.
It's a vehicle that is a powerful vehicle.
Could be if the, I've lost confidence in, I don't know about you.
This story, when I saw this story, there were no surprises, but I was outraged.
I was outraged because of the juxtaposition of what Facebook is determining they're gonna
print, or they're not going to print versus you pay us enough money by God will print
anything.
Yeah.
That's what this is about.
