1A - Going Electric: A Closer Look At EV Infrastructure

We're talking all about electric vehicles.

The month of May was made for racing. From the Kentucky Derby to the Indy 500. And now, there's a new sound getting louder.

Prime Video is offering a look into the fast lane of Formula E racing with the recently-released show Formula E: Driver. The series follows the lives, and the close calls of four Formula E drivers, including Andretti Racing's 2023 Formula E World Champion, Jake Dennis.

And later, new polling from Gallup suggests fewer Americans are interested in EVs now than two years ago. In 2023, 59% of those polled were open to buying an EV. That's now dropped to 51%.

Still, EV sales continue to rise. And that's despite the Trump administration's tariffs and potential repeal of EV tax credits. The administration also halted a program aiming to build a network of EV chargers. But some states are suing to restore the funding.

We discuss the future of EVs in America.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: The Media ‘Jumps the Shark’

It’s time to sett the record straight on “The Media.”


More than 100 days since starting his second term, and the corporate media has nothing good to say about President Donald Trump, and his administration. 

Elon Musk received negative coverage 96% of the time on evening news, according to an April study conducted by the Media Research Center. 

Why did the media go from loving Sen. John Fetterman to questioning his mental competency?


Bottom line: What the corporate media, most namely ABC, NBC and CBS, labels “the truth” is wholey dependent on whether it benefits the political Left, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”


“Elon Musk, according to the Media Research Center, has had 96% unfavorable coverage in our American media. What did he do that was so wrong? He rescued astronauts who were stranded in space. Tesla has revolutionized the electric vehicle industry. Social media is open and free, due to his acquisition of X. Starlink has more satellites—that private entity that he created—it has more satellites than the governments of the United States, all of the EU countries, and China combined. It is the world's methodology of accessing high-speed internet from remote places or anywhere. So, what has he done wrong?
