Hello and welcome back to the Power Hour, the Heritage Foundation Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment's podcast.

I'm your host, Jack Spencer. Jack Hagerd is back behind the glass today. Jack, how are you today, my friend? Doing well, Jack. How are you? I'm outstanding, as always. Tell me a funny story or something. What did you do last week? Entertainment. Well, that's a lot of pressure to just suddenly drop on it. Well, of course. I'm not going to give you an easy question. Come on, man. Tell me one thing you did last week. I'll make it entertaining. Okay, well, we took our new car to the mechanic. How

about that? That's good. What kind of car do you have? Have we talked about this before? I mentioned that we were thinking of buying one, and then you told me to get a 1992 Toyota Rav4 with four inch lift.

And did you?

We got a 2009

Toyota Ravrefour.

Oh, I thought you're a red-blooded

American. Sorry about that. Whoa, whoa. I'm just kidding. That's a great vehicle. That's a great vehicle. Of course, I'm teasing. So why did you have to take it to the garage already? Well, we just wanted to get it checked out since we just bought it. And did it, uh, everything check out okay? Uh, just a little over $2,000 in repairs.

All right. Was that accommodated in your price? Sort of. Yeah. Oh, good enough, good enough. Well,

Jack, this is going to be the podcast for you today, my friend. I'm not going to tell you why yet.

You will be, you know,

it will be revealed as we get into it, but as a car driving American, you will appreciate this one.

Another question for you, did you enjoy our little side quest last week talking a little Second

Amendment? Yeah, that was super entertaining. That was awesome, wasn't it? Man, if Heritage ever needed a Second Amendment analyst, I'm the guy.

So folks, if you missed it last week, on last week's podcast, we had big-time YouTuber

William Kirk from the Washington Gun Law YouTube channel.

Definitely check that one out.

Anyway, Jack, don't fear.

We're hopping back on the energy train today.

We can't forget what got us here. Am I right? Of course. Of course. I'm right. I'm always right.
