WATCH: Pete Stauber Tears Into Sec. Pete Buttigieg Over EV Mandates 

just like Mayorkas!

Like every Biden appointee.

That's because he is smug and arrogant.

Always.

Man you guys truly are lost. How you can see this is beyond me.

He was Mayor of a south bend Indian. It’s a poorly ran town. How he got a job where he is no is beyond me.

what agenda did he not know?

@@AgeDrain how a grifting casino greeter became president of the united states is truly beyond me

He got the job because he’s a fruit

he wasn't a casino greeter; he was a failed casino OWNER and a game show host - had a university and sold steaks and bottled water - all failed.

ok hippie

actually...

Wow that is unacceptable

And she’s Canadian.

crazy she was on The Dating Game way back

I'm sure that justifies you to buy a $60,000 golf cart!

What’s even more astounding is that when she was governor of Michigan she was the one to sign the new mining law (part 632 signed in 2004) regulating the non-ferrous metals mining industry (ie Eagle Mine and Nickel and Copper etc). It was written to regulate the Eagle Mine as it was the only non-ferrous metal mine in Michigan(still is for now). They lie to our faces and think we are stupid.

I'm not so sure. I'm an electrician & run engineers. 66% electric cars _is. not. possible._ It almost has to be a lockdown because... man.... they can't be THAT stupid. *This may be where the rifles are needed.* I am not kidding. And this is the first time I've ever had that hunch, that inkling.... 66% electric cars is War on the Poor. War. Dubleyew Ay Arrr: WAR.

You mean Stauber clearly making a strawman argument and pretending like his constituents are being forced to own EVs? Or pretending like he cares about working conditions? It's all performative. He receives massive campaign contributions from the mining industry. He's looking out for them, not his constituents.

I was referring to the fact that with EVs we will be shifting our responsibility/dependency of fuel from OIL to CHINA@@GreenScreenBartender

The rare earth metals needed for electric batteries and other car parts (also needed for gas powered cars for catalytic converters for example) come from Africa, not China. China is Republicans boogeyman and trying to paint the picture that Democrats are in bed with them.

@@GreenScreenBartender that goober arguing about child labor does not realize that parts of the cellphone he is using was also mined by child labor.

@@lastnight360 go ahead mimick the sophomoric arguments by the repugs and ignore the rebutall that efforts are being made to move manufacturing back here. Ex. chip manufacturing brought back here by the biden admin

give specifics becuase you do not seem to be listening to him. You just listened to the grandstanders spew falsehoods and talk over mayor pete when he tells them they are lying to their faces

As he stated, EVs are happening whether we like it or not, so it’s better to benefit from the jobs here rather than allowing China to cash in. I have an EV and I love it. I also power it from the solar panels on my house. But if it’s not for you it’s not for you- it’s a free country. Keep paying that $5 gas.

@@FirstHillSeattle Hopefully after 2024 I'll be paying much much less..

Why do you think that? Pete doesn't know…know what? Doesn't care about what? What did Pete say to make you think he doesn't care?

Only thing he’s worried about his boyfriend

We have a current administration that is so blinded by their Eutopian agenda that their can’t see and don’t care about the effects of it at all

He gave glib responses. That’s what his constituents adore. Please do not push your data driven opinions upon us who enjoy our $100K toys with $0.70/kWh remote charging.

​@@richardkammerer2814now there might be 18.5% tax like the gas tax plus a weight tax.

The reason is simple the cost would double.

The answer is simple. If we mine here in the US, suddenly EV batteries cost twice as much and that price hike will go directly to the consumer and then even less people will be able to afford one and this administration needs more people to adopt EV's so they can control their movement.

you forgot corruption.

It’s called business as usual. Trump was all about solving problems and he became public enemy #1. Wake up blacks and suburban women. Wtf is really wrong w you.

And who puts them there? Voters. We can only blame ourselves and each other.

@@proned2stoned Under-informed and MISINFORMED (by the Marxocrat Media) voters.

That’s right…credits are never credits, just like the whole “tax” rebates on HVAC…doubled the price from the MFG and the credit did nothing

Tesla dropped the price of their vehicles almost 20% on some models. This halved their margins but they make it up in volume.

Yes this needs to be addressed if this is the case. Manufacturers need to be pulled down for actions like this. They already make money on the car sale. Raising the prices then the company has to open their books up so auditors can confirm the cost to produce rose that much. I mean open the books, as in all US citizens get to check as well if desired. You need a heavy detergent for fraud.

Yup

I took that as proof that EV manufacturers are selling at a loss. Expecting EV sales to comprise 67% of new vehicle sales by 2035 is pure fantasy.

We will own an EV, live in a pod in a 15 minute city, and eat bugs if we let them get their way.

Minnesota or Alaska the EV's wouldn't last long in the cold

I imagine it will be quite an upset for y'all when the snowfall in your state declines and the ski tourists stop coming and your 6 months of winter becomes 6 months of mud and sleet. Oh actually that's something for your kids to deal with, my bad

Just another thing, this geeze goes on to say that the "trillions" of dollars needed to shift to renewable energy would bankrupt the economy. Bro y'all spend trillions of dollars a year on arms. The economy is something we created, if it breaks we can fix it. The ecosystem is not something we have any ability to meaningfully manipulate, once we break it we cannot fix it, and then we will all probably die a slow and humiliating death from starvation. All our infrastructure is built around thousands of years of stable agriculture due to a stable climate. The very reason we are able to progress as a society is because of our enduring infrastructure. The climate is changing dramatically in front of our eyes and you choose to ignore that its on you. Even if for some reason you still don't believe that humans are responsible for climate change, then at least please realise that the climate IS changing and y'all need to change with it. Don't ignore it and don't act like its some liberal agenda. Your kids will wonder how you cats were so callous

You don't speak for all of Minnesota. You guys clearly have never driven an electric vehicle or actually know someone who owns one. They work just fine in the winter. If your commute is over 100 miles per day, then you would be better suited with a hybrid. By 2035 the amount of available options will be plenty across all budgets.

sure the trump appointees were true intellectuals - paul manafort, foreign agent for belarus, devoss who had no experience in public school administration, Rick Perry who wanted to dismantle the Dept of Energy was appointed Sec of Energy, Scott Pruitt who spent his lifetime suing the EPA to head the EPA. Now THAT WAS A CLOWN SHOW!!!!!

Absolutely right. A college student in biology could do a better job than piccolo "pete".

@@bobthebuilder9553 As would an 8th grader.

The only thing greener about an AV is when its moving down the road. EVERYTHING else about them is less green. Construction, charging, fixing, disposing. Worst idea ever, this green movement will be a major reason of the shit storm this country has coming at it. Hope everyone is good at learning new languages.

Electricity is created by : nuclear,coal,and oil power plants.

You *_multiply_* your footprint by replacing your current conventional car by a new electric car. A second hand electric car cannot go anywhere.

You mean like powered by coal DUn DUn DUn

They still cause pollution, but they cause much less pollution than gas cars.

ethnic cleansing

Voted for it...didn't we?

@@sharonrich175 maybe you did. I didn’t.

Is mercury, lead and asbestos available? How did that work out?

incompetence in what specific aspect?

It gives me "irritable bowel syndrome"!

THank you Mr. Stauber, you wiped the floor with him, he had no known actual facts. So glad to see the puppets of this Treasonous, Bully, Dictators exposed. Waiting and looking forward to the whole biden administration IMPEACHED.

no one is mandating anything. They have a goal but no one will be forced to buy EVs if you dont wnt to just like no one i taking away your guns either

​@@rembrandtgraffiti4161no one ??? Are you serious no one when they say they will ban all ice cars in 6 years. Bro this is truly Marxism in the makes. Your ev junk will be billion times worse than the Chernobyl disaster Every scrapped eve car get biohazard ☣️ sticker Land Fields will be full with these toxic junks.

And they are not forcing you to get the vaccine. Oops, got fired for not doing that.@@rembrandtgraffiti4161

Usually a grilling involves letting others speak.

the grandstanding and not letting the witness speak is a way to make their cult member constituents happy. You successfully attack someone from the other side I will vote for you again!!!!! Don't care if the shouting buffoon talking over the witness actually passes any helpful bills

I would like to say wait 'til 2024 when we get back to Making America Great Again, with the greatest President ever elected #45 & soon #47. Then we'll see these delusional, incompetent, and utterly disgusting "heads of institutions" see their days of reckoning.

The ones they're forced to do now, construction, roofing, commercial landscaping, service industry jobs (hotel maids, fast food workers, maintenance workers), agricultural , truck drivers, all industries with severe labor shortages!

He probably doesn't feel any pain in his elbow

exactly the people living there know this so they're not going to buy ev's. And yes ev's are cheaper after the tax credit.

This theater is to get the info out to the people. To let you know that Dems give 0 Fs about you really, yet people will still vote for them. Astounding really...

Watch the entire, unedited hearing. Pete is boss level.

Buttigieg is trying to get America in the front seat of the electric car market. He is literally standing for the American people trying to get them jobs in an expanding market. There are a lot of Teslas in Minnesota during the winter. I know because I live here. I've never seen them on the side of the road in the winter. Stauber is fighting electric cars because he gets paid by mining, oil, and gas companies.

@@johncooper7663 Which Pete? They are both Pete.

You mean Pete, correct?

@@wolfwintemute7298 there was differentiation in the comment.

no one os forcing you to buy EV. Also no one is taking away your guns or gas stove. Relax.

Reputation only. It is certainly not because they are better anymore.

Not true . There are American made cars that last a lifetime . My olds was over 20 years old going strong , when I sold it .

@@ZzXZ636yeah they USED to be good. Not anymore.

@@seanm660 good to know . When did they go bad. Year ? I have a 2016 used Ford focus . No problems with it .

@@ZzXZ636 how many miles? The reason Honda and Toyotas are so good is because they are CONSISTENTLY reliable and last hundreds and thousands of miles without any issues. Most ford and gm products are quite inconsistent in this respect. Yes, some of them, like yours, are good, but many others have transmission failures, and other catastrophic problems when they should be breaking in (like 70-100 thousand miles). Not like the Crown Vic, which was completely unbreakable, and many of the old mustangs from 2005 to 2010, which were outstanding. So I’d say about 2013 onwards is when they started to go to crap.

I found that was a real good engine.

Does GM still make the 6 cylinder engine that was in the early/mid 2000s Trailblazers. I absolutely abuses mine and I put nearly 250k on it, and it was still going strong a few years ago before I sold it. Should force GM to bring that back too.

Chrysler could make the slant six if they actually wanted an engine that doesnt break.

My dad’s loved that motor He said they lasted forever. I’m more into the V8 myself though I like something that sounds good to.

I have the 3.0 duramax in my truck and I love it. Regularly gets 500 miles on a tank of fuel.

I'm voting with my $ and paying tax upfront. Got a deposit for an ev.

good for you. keep your head in the sand and never change. it worked out fine for the dinosaurs.

Like what? Avg cost of any new car is over $48,000. Factor in 5 year TCO and the EV is cheaper. Average continental U.S. temp 52.7 °F.

Seriously? Stauber embarrassed himself

@@Designarchi1 Yes he did embarrass himself. I’ve got relatives in Central Ohio who are very excited about the new $4B EV battery factory being built there by Honda. Why would we turn away this industry to be beaten by the rest of the world? So many the comments on this thread are purely ignorant.

@@FirstHillSeattle Talk about being ignorant. You absolutely missed his primary point. Did you even watch the video. Sure, it's nice that batteries will be assembled here in the US, but his point is, the resources needed are coming from elsewhere...and he used DRC as an example...where child slave labor runs rampant and 75% of the mines are owned by China. Those are not good things. The alternative is to mine some of the resources here in the US, where we can control the human and environmental concerns. This administration has chosen to ban mining for these resources. Some think that is a good thing...and some think that is a bad thing. That is where the debate lies. However, there are always consequences resulting from those decisions. In my opinion, we shouldn't be depending on child slave labor and Chinese companies to obtain the resources we are looking for.

@@chrisw8362 He is mistaken and you are gullible.

you should test drive one. you'd never go back. I have two, best designed and engineered cars on the market.

You had better install a harness to keep your self safe.

Oh yeaaa Leave your phone in the car at night in the winter .the battery will be finished. Do you know that when you charge your car the computer stays on and follows the temp So if it is cold while charging the car will run the heater on the battery If it is summer heat while charging the car will use the energy to cool the batteries Lol you did not know that did you? If you leave your ev car parked without charging in a week the car will lose many miles thanks to maintaining the battery life. If the car is not attended let's say for 1 year left in the cold It will be a garden ornament soon Ice cars suffer when left unattended for months the electric cars are worse They are electricity eater for just servicing its systems.

that was almost an intelligible response. they work fine in the cold, heat up almost instantly. you do lose range but not battery life. @@EPICSOUNDTRAX

That is a big issue. Sadly the same people who rail against EVs often drive equally or heavier large trucks that cause the same road damage and also make for less safe driving conditions and statistically kill more pedestrians.

Leftists don't care about the old or disabled. What happens in commie countries over the past 120 years should be evidence enough of that...

Mike Pence is not concerned.

you charge them at home mostly. cheaper than gas.

If you make 15,000 a year, you won't be buying any car, not new anyway.

can tell you have never driven one. best engineered and designed cars on the road, Tesla Model S and X. Made in America.

Who in Europe is in "dire straits"?

He's my representative and he trades in thinly veiled falsehoods. A "Good" politician masquerading as a good person. Totally a political animal.

Yup. I guess we’ll have to continue to drive gas cars and destroy the planet. Maybe if we pray hard enough maybe God will prevent climate change.

thats my rep!!!!!!

2023 Chevy Bolt. And you can get used ones with replaced batteries even for $15-20k.

plenty. used Tesla Model 3 and Y with low miles and that price. Made in America.

@@mattt8889 laughable. The battery alone is 15,000 you would never find that. Why do you think they’re getting rid of it

And even then you'd only need to charge every other day. Still cheaper than gas.

try 250 miles

That's his boyfriend's job.

Evil also seeks to destroy .

Insane power mania

5000.00 just for the battery.. Add 2000.00 more to have it put in..

@@jamescarlsen2789 A replacement battery for one of the newer pure EVs (not a hybrid) will likely exceed $20,000 + installation. For example, a standard range battery for a Mach E Mustang is $18,000; $23,000 for the extended range version. They come new with good warranties but after that runs out, you'd best trade.

also factor in facts. batteries on Teslas have been typically lasting 200k miles.

Don't give them any ideas. Please.

@ramdodgetruck So you rather subsidize these electric vehicles that put more strain on the grid the tax credit is for buying that vehicle .your subsidized part of the purchase... So you rather have your house suffer more black out then put a grid tax on electrical vehicles

I'm saying. the gov is always looking for a way to separate us from our hard-earned dollars. There's already talk about charging us a fee for the miles we drive our beloved gas guzzlers of which I own 3.@@jamescarlsen2789

@ramdodgetruck ... Well here is the problem with that if you don't charge a grid tax on electric car..this will happen..the grid will get overloaded and then we will pay a higher price in taxes to pay for the upgrade of the grid..
