The Fight to Free Your Car (ft. Karen Bailey-Chapman)

<p>This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Karen Bailey-Chapman, Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), to dig into the world of American automotive manufacturing, aftermarket modification, and the policy battles shaping the industry. </p><br /><p>Karen explains how California's ACC2 regulation nearly eliminated the internal combustion engine for 40% of Americans, how SEMA fought back state by state, and why the EV mandate was always bigger than just a California issue. They also cover President Trump's executive order on Kei trucks, the emerging right-to-modify fight, and what the legendary SEMA Show in Las Vegas is really all about.</p><br /><p>If you love cars and American manufacturing, this one is for you. </p><br /><p>Visit sema.org to learn more.</p><br /><p>Follow American Moment across Social Media:</p><p>X / Twitter – <a href="https://x.com/americanmoment" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://x.com/americanmoment</a></p><p>Facebook – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AmMomentOrg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/AmMomentOrg</a></p><p>Instagram – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ammomentorg/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/ammomentorg/</a></p><p>YouTube – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4qmB5DeiFxt53ZPZiW4Tcg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4qmB5DeiFxt53ZPZiW4Tcg</a></p><br /><p>American Moment's "Moment of Truth" Podcast is recorded at the Conservative Partnership Campus in Washington DC, produced by American Moment Studios, and edited by Hunter Smith, with original graphics by <a href="https://jaredcummingsllc.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jared Cummings.</a></p><br /><p>Subscribe to our Podcast, "Moment of Truth"</p><p>Apple Podcasts – <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moment-of-truth/id1555257529" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moment-of-truth/id1555257529</a></p><p>Spotify – <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5ATl0x7nKDX0vVoGrGNhAj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/5ATl0x7nKDX0vVoGrGNhAj</a></p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
