SPECIAL GUEST: Jay Beeber, Executive Director of Policy at the National Motorists Association.
Scrapping the EV tax credit and adding tariffs could be Trump’s focus for the auto sector. The US auto sector is still finding its footing after a pandemic-era boom.
The incoming Trump administration may add to this uncertainty.
Major US automakers like GM (GM) and Ford (F) spent 2024 curtailing their EV growth plans as the projected demand for EVs waned.
And Trump, even with his close ties to Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, appears to be measured at best in his support for a continued push to electrify America’s auto fleet.

In blue cities across the country, local road policy in the past decade has been tweaked in the name of making things safer and more enticing for non-drivers — often by making things slower and more annoying for motorists.
The National Motorists Association, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization consisting of an alliance of motorists joined together to protect drivers’ rights in the courts, on the streets, and in our vehicles. NMA members number in the thousands, and are active in all 50 states as well as in several provinces of Canada.
The NMA, originally founded as the Citizens’ Coalition for Rational Traffic Laws, has empowered drivers since 1982. It fights for the driving freedoms of motorists; promoting traffic regulations and enforcement actions based on safety considerations, not to generate revenue for other programs.

BIO: Jay Beeber, Executive Director of Policy at the National Motorists Association, is dedicated to protecting American drivers against the tyranny of the anti-car movement.
Whether it’s the imposition of ridiculously low speed limits coupled with a proliferation of automated ticketing machines to penalize us for the simple act of driving, removal of travel lanes to back up traffic, a tax on every mile we drive, banning of internal combustion engines to eliminate our choice of vehicles, kill switches, congestion taxes and car-free zones, or a
host of other schemes to get us out of our cars, the goal is the same – complete control over our freedom of movement.
Beeber and the NMA are determined to win the war on cars because the alternative is too frightening to imagine: A world without the use of our personal automobiles, meaning a world without freedom.
