He's Not Going to Stop, Unless We Stop Him...

Senator Chris Murphy is meeting the moment.

Video Transcript:

There's somebody in the Senate who I think really gets this moment that we're in. I wish that he were the leader of the Senate because he always speaks the truth. He's been a guest on our podcast. This is Senator Chris Murphy with what they are trying to gain by affecting trade in the economy in the negative fashion that they are:

Tariffs came out and they are destroying our economy right now because one day they're on, one day they're off. Nobody can plan. Nobody can invest. And my theory of the case is this. It's because it's because it's not economic policy. It's just another means to compel loyalty. All right. So why did Apple get one of the first big exemptions from the tariff?

Was that was that coincidental to the fact that the CEO, Tim Cook, wrote $1 million check to Trump's inauguration? No, no, no. You are going to get an exemption from these tariffs. You are going to get relief from these tariffs if you pledge political loyalty to Donald Trump. Right. If you pledge political loyalty to MAGA, just like he's going after the law firms, just like he's going after the universities one by one, the tariffs allow him to go after each individual industry or each individual business and get them to sign up for his political project.

I think Senator Chris Murphy is spot on. I think we have an insecure, malignant narcissist that wants to control everything, and he wants everybody to bend the knee to him. But here's the problem with this if everybody did it, he would still be a broken, empty, evil, diabolical motherfucker. All of the support, all of the ring kissing, all of the accolades, all of the compliments you could give this man - will never fix him. He has taken our country, wadded it up, spit on it, thrown it to the most incompetent people you could ever imagine. It's going to take ages to recover what he has done. And I'm calling on all S&P 500 CEOs to band together to try to save this country. It's going to take citizens in the streets, but it's also going to take the private sector because Americans love their money.

And all of these S&P 500 companies have flourished because we seek to have a secure and stable economy. Trump is throwing a grenade in that, the most patriotic and the most decent, the most humane thing that these CEOs could do now is stand in unity at the steps of the Capitol and call for Republicans in the House and in the Senate to impeach Donald Trump immediately.

This is an illegal fascist propaganda regime, and he's not going to stop. We could give him everything on the planet that he wants. He's still going to be broken, and he's still going to have a desire to break more things.
