problem with it. david, do you know of any major issues there? how much do you think the new electric fairy is going to cost? i have no idea. millions. i know it s a lot. probably way more than i could even guess. i m sure it s way up there. it s going to be a hell of a lot of money. millions. $50 million. that s a lot of money. [laughter] we will be paying for it for a long time. let s just print some more paper. we are good at it now. i m not utterly convinced that it s worth what we are spending. it feels like an expensive big jump-up. a lot of your island gets its power from coal. that doesn t sound too great. coal, huh? nobody thinks about where the electricity comes from. not as green as you hope. considered that much more efficient. everything from electric cars to electric fairies, it is it is a problem. you have to remember how it gets to the place where you plug it in. [laughter] jesse: charlie hurt is a fox
news contributor and opinion editor at the washington times. and is our special correspondent when it comes to biden s boondoggles. so you have seen the anti-racist bird watching bridge, the heated sidewalks that homeless people now sleep on and now we have a $50 million electric fairy to an island that 816 people live on, charlie. first of all, you know, you got to give kudos to president biden. i love the fact, you know, he has been in washington for 50 years but next month it s all going to come up roses. finally he is going to we are going to love what he does next month. it s all going to work out now. but $50 million for a new fairy? you could take every homeless drug addict in seattle and put them in a mansion with a pool with $50 million. he would rather do. this here s the one good thing about an electric fairy, jesse. if the batteries get wet, and the things catch on fire, the way we have seen with all those teslas down in florida, you just have to sink it.
a $50 million electric fairy. you are paying a big chunk of that bill. and it will be shuttling people on and off lumi island and only 900 people live there. they don t have any streets lights or gas stations they don t need them but somehow they need a $50 million electric hybrid fairy. a fairy is pretty important if you live on an island. only way to get on and off but they already have one. it s been working for years. here s the problem it works on deville and that s not allowed under this administration. everybody needs to be electric no matter what the cost. keep in mind this island gets a lot of its electricity from coal so this thing isn t really green. it runs on coal. but mayor pete says it s time to bury the old fairy in a landfill. in rural washington state the fairy only way to get to lummi island. people s cars damaged using it and down a lot of the time. helping them replace it and the
new fairy will be an electric battery hybrid. jesse: oh, all of the sudden the old fairy is dangerous and unreliable. something is not adding up. so we went to lummi island to find out if they re excited about scrapping the old boat and spending millions on an electric one. they are getting rid of this fairy and buying a brand new electric fairy. are you excited? no. i like this one. what s more reliable than diesel? it s powered this powered the world now for over 100 years. i don t like the electric fairy idea. i want to keep this small fairy. this boat could go forever. this is small island with only 1,000 people. we have been out there in some really big wind and it s i think it s pretty darn safe. do you think this fairy needs to be replaced? oh, because of age? i guess i need to be replaced. i have never had a problem with it. no? never heard of anybody had a
