Is clearly illegal, and all the people who are finding this indictment cathartic this week with, i think, should think about whether it will be as cathartic if one of these jurors in d.c. says, well, it seems to me that trump actually believed this stuff. or if trump gets convicted and loses the election and then it gets thrown out on appeal at the supreme court and the supreme court says these laws do not cover this conduct, if you think people are upset about a stolen election right now, wait until that happens. paul: dan, what is trump s best legal defense here? i think his best legal defense is pretty much as his attorneys have suggested, that he was exercising his right to free speech especially because the special counsel, jack smith, acknowledges that. and that s a very strong precedent that, you know, politicians are allowed to say a lot of the things kim was suggesting and that it s a ....
696-page rule that would a raise fuel economy standards or in a move that would effectively require 10100% of new cars to be electric by 2032. let s bring back dan henninger, kim strassel and kate batch holler odell. kate, take up this new big rule on auto standards, mileage standards, because it s this is a major impact economically. right, it is, paul. to your point, it s basically requiring effectively 100% of new vehicles to be electric by the early 2030s. as we wrote earlier this week, that is more ambitious than even california which is impressive. can now you think that all of this burden on the economy would produce some effect on carbon, but what we see here is that the reduction in carbon emissions is perhaps going to be half as much as the canada wildfires release this year. it s not much of an accomplishment. meanwhile, general motors and others will have to pay ....

There in these communities, but we should be i trying to stop it in the first place, shouldn t we? well, right. and the media should be jumping up and down demanding the white house explain what exactly it s doing. as kyle just said, you can stand up all of this wind and solar power, but you still have to have a fossil fuel plant to back it up because we can t store that energy. and yet we have an administration that just came out with a rule that will essentially make it impossible to build a new fossil fuel plant in this country. what s its plan? this ought to be the daily question by the media and the press corps instead of these endless stories about climate alarmism. this is just simply not workable, it s simply not workable. and the media s doing the public a vast disservice by not exposing that more heavily. charles: dan, i wish we would build some refueling, you know, or refinery capacity mar my for sweet crude. it s amazing, we ship out sweet ....
Dan, let me start with you on this. it feels like we ve had this story over and over and over again for about a decade, maybe even long everyone, it just longer, it just gets worse. it does. and the new york city numbers i have to commit, charles, pretty astounding, 468,000 people leaving. and the question, what is going to the change that? as you re suggesting this has been going on for a long time. i think what we re seeing here is essentially a great migration. we had a great migration back in the 40s and 50s from the south into the north that built the north, these industrial cities like chicago, st. louis, baltimore, new york city. that is now reversing, and people are moving down, back down to the south, the west, texas, and the norb states are being empty thed the northern states are being emptied out. and the problem is they have locked in their spending patterns in a way that they can t replace. they re losing revenue. they re losing their tax base. and the question is ....
