Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: I'm the most trusted journalist at Comedy Central's America's only
Speaker 2: sorts for news.
Speaker 3: This is the Daily Trip.
Speaker 4: With your Home, My Good Cot.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Michael Cotton.
Speaker 5: There's a lot going on in Maga world tonight. Pam
Speaker 5: Bondi wins the War on Drugs and reality Mike Waltz
Speaker 5: has left the group chat and Trump thinks Stephen A.
Speaker 1: Smith is the mayor of Harlem.
Speaker 5: So let's get into our ongoing coverage of Donald Trump's
Speaker 5: first one hundred days.
Speaker 1: They that'll be a little disturbance.
Speaker 4: Trump.
Speaker 5: Tuesday was Donald Trump's one hundredth day in office, and
Speaker 5: he celebrated the only way he knows how, by getting
Speaker 5: together with the boys.
Speaker 1: Last night.
Speaker 5: The big party was at Channel three, seven to two
Speaker 5: on your cable service News Nation.
Speaker 4: Who've just gotten started.
Speaker 3: You haven't even seen anything yet, lockout with your kickout.
Speaker 5: Which is actually how most of those people got fired
Speaker 5: from their previous job. So this was an event where
Speaker 5: Donald Trump phoned in, probably from the bathroom, and a
Speaker 5: bunch of people got to ask questions, including Stephen A.
Speaker 1: Smith.
Speaker 5: And there's a thing I've noticed that happens at parties
Speaker 5: where there's only one black guy, which is that, no
Speaker 5: matter what he's talking about, a certain type of white
Speaker 5: person tries to steer the confert station into an awkward direction.
Speaker 6: Mister President, thank you for you.
Speaker 4: Tom.
Speaker 3: It's interesting that.
Speaker 6: You're brought up Harvard, because when people think about Harvard,
Speaker 6: what they're basically talking about is they're asking, what do
Speaker 6: you say to those who view your actions as an
Speaker 6: attack on academic freedom rather than the defense of fearness.
Speaker 4: What do you say to that? Well, I say this.
Speaker 7: We had riots in Harlem, in Harlem.
Speaker 1: Amazing, amazing.
Speaker 5: Trump heard a black man say Harvard, and he thought
Speaker 5: he must have met Harlem. What a beautiful mix of
Speaker 5: racism and dementia. It sounded like you asked about social security,
Speaker 5: but I'm going to assume you really.
Speaker 1: Asked about soul Plane.
Speaker 5: No, not a great start, but maybe Donald Trump, maybe
Speaker 5: he can save it.
Speaker 7: We had riots in Harlem, in Harlem, and frankly, if
Speaker 7: you look at what's gone on, and people from Harlem
Speaker 7: went up and they protested, staved, and they protested very
Speaker 7: strongly against Harvard.
Speaker 5: No, I didn't say it. What is he talking about exactly.
Speaker 5: There were no riots in Harlem. They definitely didn't go
Speaker 5: from the non riots to protest Harvard. And none of
Speaker 5: that had anything to do with stephen A's question about
Speaker 5: academic freedom. It's almost like he's talking about black stuff
Speaker 5: because stephen A.
Speaker 1: Smith is black.
Speaker 3: You know, I got a very high black vote.
Speaker 7: You know that, very very high black vote.
Speaker 5: I'm starting to think that maybe Trump shouldn't be choosing
Speaker 5: the curriculum for the smartest college in the world. The
Speaker 5: answer was so dumbfounding that stephen A, who is a
Speaker 5: professional interrupter, was left speechless for the first time in
Speaker 5: his life. By the way, this is not even the
Speaker 5: weirdest stephen A. Smith moment from this week, because apparently
Speaker 5: the guy had a cameo on General Hospital a few
Speaker 5: days ago. And here's really the only moment you need
Speaker 5: to say.
Speaker 4: So I did to ride.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna need to see some idea.
Speaker 5: Of course, goddamn, is that what happens to me? You
Speaker 5: don't have your id, man. Things sure have changed now.
Speaker 5: We used to clap for nurses every day, and now
Speaker 5: we quick draw them with a silencer. I had no
Speaker 5: idea that stephen A. Smith even acted in soap operas.
Speaker 5: But now I can't wait to tune in next week
Speaker 5: to find out if he has an evil twins.
Speaker 1: Stephen B. Smith, I guess.
Speaker 5: I gotta start watching General Hospital, or as Trump calls it,
Speaker 5: General Harlem. But let's move on, because not everyone is
Speaker 5: having fun during this celebration week.
Speaker 1: We begin with breaking news.
Speaker 5: Sources are confirming to Fox News that National Security Advisor
Speaker 5: Mike Waltz is out.
Speaker 1: Waltz has been in a precarious position with the President
Speaker 1: actor he accidentally added a reporter to a group chat
Speaker 1: about upcoming military strikes.
Speaker 5: Damn, what a shame for Mike Waltz. I wonder how
Speaker 5: they delivered the news.
Speaker 8: That's nice call, you know what.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 5: You can't jeopardize military missions by adding journalists to your
Speaker 5: group chats. And to Donald Trump's credit, he realizes he
Speaker 5: can't have a guy this incompetent working for his administration.
Speaker 1: He's got to go.
Speaker 4: Is CNN's breaking news.
Speaker 2: President Trump just announcing moments ago that he will be
Speaker 2: nominating his current National Security advisor, Michael Waltz, to be
Speaker 2: the next US Ambassador to the United Nations.
Speaker 5: Yeah, leah, Yeah, Like I was saying, he's got to
Speaker 5: go to the United Nations to represent the entire country
Speaker 5: on a global stage.
Speaker 1: Congracts, Mike, You've earned it, I guess. Look, I don't know.
Speaker 5: This seems like pure chaos to me, but I'm sure
Speaker 5: this administration has been carefully planning the whole reorganization for days.
Speaker 5: As the State Department spokesperson will make.
Speaker 9: Clear here, the President has just written on truth Social
Speaker 9: that Mike Waltz is going to become the new US
Speaker 9: Ambassador to the United Nations.
Speaker 10: Well there for the national career.
Speaker 11: Fabulous.
Speaker 9: And in addition to that, he says that in the
Speaker 9: interim Secretary of State, Marco Rubio will serve as National
Speaker 9: Security Advisor while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department.
Speaker 9: Do you know how long he's going to be serving?
Speaker 4: In goals? It is clear that I just heard this
Speaker 4: from me.
Speaker 5: You know what, why don't you come up here and
Speaker 5: I'll ask you some questions.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 5: By the way, if it sounds crazy that Marco Rubio
Speaker 5: has two separate jobs, that's actually only half of his jobs.
Speaker 12: Marco Rubio is very busy right now. Our own David
Speaker 12: Gurrow reminding us that he's right now Secretary of State,
Speaker 12: Interim National Security Advisor, Acting Administrator of us AID, and
Speaker 12: also Acting Archivist for the United States. That's a lot
Speaker 12: of work.
Speaker 4: Those are a lot of jobs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't know how you balance working four
Speaker 5: jobs all at the same time, but I'm gonna guess
Speaker 5: it probably involves doing a shitty job. And he's actually
Speaker 5: working five jobs when you consider the hardest job of
Speaker 5: them all, which is being a father, which reminds me, Honey,
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to put the kids to bed tonight
Speaker 5: because I'm gonna go get drunk at Davidbusters. But amazingly,
Speaker 5: Trump hasn't been firing administration officials all that much because
Speaker 5: partly most of them have really learned a lesson about
Speaker 5: staying on his good side. Let me show you how
Speaker 5: bad it can get. Three days ago, Pam Bondi was
Speaker 5: on Fox News making an outrageous claim about Trump's success
Speaker 5: stopping ventanyl deaths.
Speaker 10: Since Donald Trump has been in office, DEA has seized
Speaker 10: over twenty one million fentanyl pills taken.
Speaker 1: That's twenty one million lives saved, in my opinion, twenty
Speaker 1: one million people. Twenty one million people.
Speaker 5: Just for context, seventy thousand people die from fentanyl in
Speaker 5: an entire year. But we're supposed to believe that in
Speaker 5: three months, Trump prevented twenty one million fentanyl deaths. I
Speaker 5: guess a lot more people were planning to try flentton
Speaker 5: all this year. Huh, were you guys? Because if everyone's
Speaker 5: doing I'll do it. I'm not a pussy, all right,
Speaker 5: this audience is pro fentanyl.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: To be fair to BONDI, she must have realized these
Speaker 5: numbers were way off, because two days later she correct herself.
Speaker 10: Since he's been in office, DEA has taken twenty two
Speaker 10: point two million fittinyl pills off the streets. This is
Speaker 10: one hundred and night eighteen million lives Donald Trump has
Speaker 10: saved since January. Pretty remarkable.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, one hundred and nineteen million.
Speaker 5: He saved one hundred more million lives in two days.
Speaker 1: Wow. Keep in mind.
Speaker 5: Keep in mind the entire population of the United States
Speaker 5: is three hundred and forty million, So she's crediting Trump
Speaker 5: with saving the lives of a third of the entire country. Pam,
Speaker 5: what are you talking about? Are you on the fence?
Speaker 5: Because you signed you sound high as.
Speaker 1: Book right now?
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, Well, you know what. BONDI sobered up,
Speaker 5: She checked her math, and she realized something was off again,
Speaker 5: because during Trump's cabinet meeting yesterday, she came back and
Speaker 5: corrected herself one more time.
Speaker 10: President Trump, your doj agencies have ceased more than twenty
Speaker 10: two million fit in all pills which say are you
Speaker 10: ready for this media? Two hundred and fifty eight million lives?
Speaker 5: Two hundred and fifty eight, two hundred and fifty eight
Speaker 5: million lives?
Speaker 1: What is happening here that the rate Trump is saving.
Speaker 5: Lives death will cease to exist by August Man. You
Speaker 5: gotta love the way she turns to the camera, like,
Speaker 5: are you ready for this?
Speaker 1: Media? No, no, we know we weren't ready for that.
Speaker 1: We were not ready.
Speaker 5: There is no way anybody could ever have been ready
Speaker 5: for the number you were about to say.
Speaker 1: Even jd. Vance wasn't ready. Look at his face when
Speaker 1: he hears her say that shit.
Speaker 10: Are you ready for this media? Two hundred and fifty
Speaker 10: eight million lives?
Speaker 4: Kids are dying every day.
Speaker 5: I've never seen a man blink what the fuck is
Speaker 5: this woman talking about?
Speaker 1: But of course he knows it's bullshit.
Speaker 5: He went to Yale, right, it's it's no Harlem University,
Speaker 5: but they know mad.
Speaker 1: The point is, the point is, by.
Speaker 5: The time we're done with the next hundred days, Trump
Speaker 5: will have saved it.
Speaker 1: And are you ready for this media?
Speaker 5: Three and forty seven bajillion lives which if you ask me,
Speaker 5: three hundred yeah, three and forty bajillion lives, which you've
Speaker 5: asked me, is too many lives? Is there anyone we
Speaker 5: can call to thin the hurd were we come back,
Speaker 5: We'll show you the one product.
Speaker 1: That can help you get through the next four years.
Speaker 8: Don't grow along, Welcome back to Beta shows.
Speaker 5: If you're not a fan of Donald Trump, it's probably
Speaker 5: because you disagree with his policies, maybe your pro choice
Speaker 5: or support expanding renewable energy, or maybe because you have
Speaker 5: a mental illness.
Speaker 3: So there's this condition called Trump derangement syndrome, and every
Speaker 3: single Democrat had.
Speaker 4: This Trump derangement syndrome.
Speaker 11: Anything with Trump's name attached to it, Democrats will automatically
Speaker 11: create no matter what it is, Trump de arrangement syndrome
Speaker 11: is stage five no vaccine, no cure, no therapeutic.
Speaker 4: To horrible, horrible terminal disease.
Speaker 7: It destroys the mind before the body but the body
Speaker 7: eventually goes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 5: Trump derangement syndrome the only disease Trump can give you
Speaker 5: that doesn't require you to.
Speaker 1: Notify recent sex partners.
Speaker 5: Of course, in reality, Trump derangement syndrome is a fake
Speaker 5: mental illness coined by right wing trolls on social media.
Speaker 1: But that's about to change.
Speaker 12: Republican life in Minnesota want to here in the state
Speaker 12: add Trump derangement syndrome as an official mental illness.
Speaker 11: The bill aims to change our state's definition of mental
Speaker 11: illness to include a form of criticism of the current president.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So, five GOP senators in Minnesota want to codify Trump
Speaker 5: derangement syndrome into state law. And look, I can already
Speaker 5: hear all the woke libs out there whining about this
Speaker 5: Minnesota bill.
Speaker 1: So let me just say, is this bill perfect?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Is the disease totally made up?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: Is this a huge waste of time and taxpayer money?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: Did one of the Republicans behind the bill just get
Speaker 5: arrested for soliciting a seventeen year old for prostitution? Well,
Speaker 5: as they say in Minnesota, OI, I bet your officer.
Speaker 5: But still you have to admit that these past one
Speaker 5: hundred days have caused very real stress for a large
Speaker 5: percentage of Americans. And if that sounds like you, well,
Speaker 5: luckily there's a time tested product out there to help
Speaker 5: you deal with it.
Speaker 4: After President Trump's first one hundred days.
Speaker 12: A dramatic escalation of President trump'sy legal immigration crackdown.
Speaker 1: Safety concerns growing.
Speaker 11: After another plane crash here in the US.
Speaker 7: The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we
Speaker 7: will do a job with it.
Speaker 4: Many people are scared of what's to come. The stock
Speaker 4: market and our economy are in a volatile freefall, and
Speaker 4: free speech is under attack. You've tried everything to ease
Speaker 4: your mind, from booze to pills and even other booze,
Speaker 4: but nothing seems to work. That's why in these times
Speaker 4: of despair and uncertainty, you need the Hang in Their Poster.
Speaker 4: This uplifting poster of strength and hope features an adorable
Speaker 4: cat hanging from a rope with the timeless slogan hang
Speaker 4: in there printed on the bottom. The Hang in Their
Speaker 4: poster is the acute and comforting distraction we all need
Speaker 4: in time terms of political upheaval. Plus the hang in
Speaker 4: There poster goes where you go, meaning joy and comfort
Speaker 4: are just a glance away. So the next time you're
Speaker 4: worried about people losing their rights or the staggering amount
Speaker 4: of government corruption we're about to witness in the next
Speaker 4: four years, don't fret. Just hang in there to order
Speaker 4: your official hang in there poster called one eight hundred
Speaker 4: hang me go. Now, we'll throw in a second hang
Speaker 4: in there post. They're absolutely free for an additional twenty

Speaker 1: Now, well, we come back. Senator Alyssa slack Over joining
Speaker 1: me on the show. Stick around, hang around, hanging out.
Speaker 8: Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 5: My guest tonight is the junior US Senator from Michigan.
Speaker 5: Please welcome Senator Alissa Slockin. Well, Senator, Yes, Senator slock
Speaker 5: And that sounds nice.
Speaker 1: You know, it's pretty good, feels good.
Speaker 3: It's good.
Speaker 5: You speak Arabic, you speak Swahili, you speak English.
Speaker 1: How would you like me to conduct the cerma? English
Speaker 1: would be fantastic, Englis should be okay.
Speaker 5: So some big news today. Mike Waltz is out. You
Speaker 5: are and I don't say this very often. A Democrat
Speaker 5: with an impressive national security background, working in the CIA,
Speaker 5: security debriefing Obama every morning, uh, working at the Pentagon.
Speaker 5: How worried should we be now, Pete Haig Sath is, Pete.
Speaker 1: Hagsack, he is? What's your take on where on how we.
Speaker 3: Are right now?
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, I don't think anyone feels great
Speaker 11: about where we are right now.
Speaker 5: I don't feel like this is Marco Rubio's fourth job, Yes,
Speaker 5: four job, you know.
Speaker 11: And I think that the truth is, like, there are
Speaker 11: some really serious international challenges and we just can't have
Speaker 11: the B team in here. We need serious people. And
Speaker 11: I think that Pete Haig Seth has should resign and
Speaker 11: is just not where we need to be on it.
Speaker 5: And Trump was just in Michigan for his one hundredth day.
Speaker 5: You won in Michigan on the same same ticket as Trump.
Speaker 5: What do Michigan voters want?
Speaker 4: You think?
Speaker 11: Well, Michigans are very independently minded people, as you know,
Speaker 11: and I think, yes, he's a Michigan and I'm very
Speaker 11: proud of him.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: Well, we got to tell these coastals this is the
Speaker 5: shape of Michigan.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And you know, I think so we're independently minded.
Speaker 11: But I think the two things that really came through
Speaker 11: in the last election was one, it was a pocketbook election, right.
Speaker 11: People wanted someone who was going to put more money
Speaker 11: in their pocket. And then number two, if I can
Speaker 11: be Frank, is a little harder to grab onto. It's
Speaker 11: like people are looking for a little alpha energy. And
Speaker 11: I think I had like a little bit more alpha
Speaker 11: energy than the average dem and I want us to
Speaker 11: get more alpha energy.
Speaker 1: And this comes from my wife. What is alpha energy?
Speaker 11: I just think, well, okay, you're a Midwesterner, and let
Speaker 11: me explain for those who are not Midwesterners, Like, think
Speaker 11: of who we identify with as like our big leaders
Speaker 11: right right now, the most popular man in Michigan is
Speaker 11: the coach of the Lions, right Dan Campbell and go
Speaker 11: lines and he is just but he like he loves big.
Speaker 11: He's tough with people, but he like will hug you
Speaker 11: and give you know and CRY's eyes out with and
Speaker 11: his guys do great. Like we want leadership, right We're
Speaker 11: in a moment of crisis in the country and a
Speaker 11: moment of change as well, and so we want leaders
Speaker 11: who can like lead us through and light the tunnel
Speaker 11: so that we can get through this moment of our history,
Speaker 11: and that is like not a quiet, calm diplomat, you know,
Speaker 11: that is like, let's go. And I think that is
Speaker 11: what Michiganders are looking for in their leaders in the state,
Speaker 11: but also across the country.
Speaker 5: People are responding very well to that. You know, my
Speaker 5: daughter finished a puzzle the other day. She's five, and
Speaker 5: I gave you this big hug and I was crying,
Speaker 5: and she was like, Dad, Dad, I love this alpha
Speaker 5: male energy. Right now, you've said adopt the alpha energy,
Speaker 5: but you've also said that the Dems there's a perception
Speaker 5: of the party as weak and woke.
Speaker 11: That's actually what Michigander said. There was a pole in
Speaker 11: February and those were the words identified most with the
Speaker 11: Democratic brand. And I think that you know, again, I
Speaker 11: don't think it's just Trump voters who want something different.
Speaker 11: I think our government is a twentieth century government and
Speaker 11: we're in the twentieth twenty first century.
Speaker 1: It needs to change.
Speaker 11: No one loves our healthcare, no one loves how we
Speaker 11: do education. No one loves how our government works. So
Speaker 11: we need to change it. But we want responsible change,
Speaker 11: not reckless change, not just breaking stuff to break stuff.
Speaker 11: But I think we need to hear that, and I
Speaker 11: think that Michiganders understand that, like we can't stay the same,
Speaker 11: we can't look backwards.
Speaker 1: We have to look forward.
Speaker 11: But we want to know who that is. And I
Speaker 11: think the Democratic Party should be leading instead of just
Speaker 11: saying no, no, no status quot, status quo, don't change, no,
Speaker 11: embrace change, but like put your marker down on what
Speaker 11: you think should happen. Talk about how we need a
Speaker 11: stronger middle class in this country because it's shrinking. It
Speaker 11: is like, don't try to hide it. It is so
Speaker 11: I to me, that's like the vision piece. And then
Speaker 11: because I'm from the national security world, like at the Pentagon,
Speaker 11: you don't go to the bathroom without a plan, right,
Speaker 11: Like you're constantly planning.
Speaker 5: That's what I've been having to know for all these years.
Speaker 11: So I think, like Democrats need a plan. And I've
Speaker 11: been in the Senate for like one hundred and twelve
Speaker 11: or fifteen days, and I kept I got tired of
Speaker 11: waiting for someone else to do it. So I just
Speaker 11: like wrote a war plan, decamped with a bunch of
Speaker 11: my closest friends and advisors and wrote our best stab
Speaker 11: at what we should be doing as a country to
Speaker 11: push back on the threats to our economy and our democracy.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 5: As a Michigander, I'm worry maybe that you are feeling
Speaker 5: a burden of a democratic national message when you're a
Speaker 5: junior senator representing Michigan. Are you, I mean, are Michigan
Speaker 5: first at this point?
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean yeah.
Speaker 11: Look, I got the chance to give the response to
Speaker 11: the State of the Union, and I made a choice
Speaker 11: to do that from Michigan because if I could give
Speaker 11: a speech that could work in Michigan and not turn
Speaker 11: me into a Saturday Night Live skit, then I thought,
Speaker 11: I think it would work for the country. Like Michigan,
Speaker 11: I think is a good bell weather, a good canary
Speaker 11: in the coal mine on what's going on, particularly on
Speaker 11: our economy right now. And so what all I can
Speaker 11: do is like take the lessons every single day from
Speaker 11: what is going on, no shit, no kidding in my state,
Speaker 11: and then sort of express to people that I'm going
Speaker 11: to go fight for them and fight for my state.
Speaker 11: And that means a good thing for us, but a
Speaker 11: good thing for the country too.
Speaker 5: Donald Trump spoke for Donald Trump spoke for an hour.
Speaker 1: And forty minutes that night. You spoke for ten minutes
Speaker 1: and I think you've said more than him, actually, But.
Speaker 5: I want to get back a little litle bit to
Speaker 5: this woke word, because it's not like Harris and Walls
Speaker 5: were out there saying they were woke.
Speaker 1: No one was campaigning they were woke.
Speaker 5: The Republicans effectively targeted the Dems as woke. And I
Speaker 5: wonder if some of this alpha male energy you're talking about,
Speaker 5: and it's alpha male, I'm adding the male because that's
Speaker 5: who I hope, I a dude, but it's alpha.
Speaker 11: You don't have to be a male to the alpha energy.
Speaker 5: Correct, and thank you for correction, Thank you very correct.
Speaker 5: Me is taking back how how you're not allowed to
Speaker 5: label me? I will tell you what I am and
Speaker 5: who we are. And I wonder if the Dems can
Speaker 5: do that effectively.
Speaker 1: Well that's what we have to do, Jim. I think
Speaker 1: there's no choice.
Speaker 11: And I think you're right that they you know, the
Speaker 11: attack ads and framing your your enemy, your adversary is
Speaker 11: what happens in political campaigns. But like, suck it up,
Speaker 11: butter Cup, we got to turn that around, right, Like,
Speaker 11: you can't just let someone else to find you. You
Speaker 11: have to say what you're about. Not just what you're against.
Speaker 11: And I think Democrats, you know, what Trump is doing
Speaker 11: is unprecedented, and so we're on our heels. We're trying
Speaker 11: to figure out where to look first. So you know,
Speaker 11: we got to understand that we have to have a
Speaker 11: plan to know where we're going as a as a group, right,
Speaker 11: and stop turning our guns on each other as Democrats.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 11: Can we all agree that that like where the adversary
Speaker 11: is in this situation. So you know, I think that
Speaker 11: is what we owe to the American people.
Speaker 5: Actually, I loved when your rebuttal was from your your
Speaker 5: rebuttals from WYANDT Michigan, and as a Michigander, Oh my god,
Speaker 5: wine Dot, this is where.
Speaker 1: People are actually building the cars.
Speaker 5: They're pressing the steel, and I thought it curious to
Speaker 5: ask you, what's the response there with the tariffs? Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean you're really and these are this is the
Speaker 5: this is America's car center.
Speaker 11: Well, Michigan, I think is like uniquely positioned to be
Speaker 11: dremely vulnerable to these tariffs. One because our manufacturing sector
Speaker 11: and how we've been working for a long time to
Speaker 11: build our supply chains with Canada, our neighbor. And then
Speaker 11: also our farming industry, right who gets all the retaliation.
Speaker 11: What we're seeing right now is like peak uncertainty. People
Speaker 11: are just feeling like COVID times, like I don't know
Speaker 11: what to do. Do I invest, do I not invest?
Speaker 11: Do I build that factory? Do I not build that factory?
Speaker 11: Do I expand? Do I make those orders? And right
Speaker 11: now the first sort of like tip off we're seeing
Speaker 11: is cut down in like orders. So trucking is down, right,
Speaker 11: The number of hours our truck drivers are driving are
Speaker 11: going down. And I think that's just the start of this.
Speaker 11: And you know, if you're lucky enough to be a
Speaker 11: bigger business, you can go cut a deal with the
Speaker 11: White House. Right He's created this unbelievable marketplace of like
Speaker 11: every country has to come to me, every industry. But
Speaker 11: if you're the small guy, the small business owner, the
Speaker 11: guy who owns a supermarket in my town, no one's
Speaker 11: cutting him a deal and he's at risk of going under.
Speaker 11: So he's slow rolling us into a recession. And we
Speaker 11: need to be clear about that. Because he promised he
Speaker 11: was going to put more money in people's pockets.
Speaker 1: It's the opposite. It's the opposite. The uaw's has backed
Speaker 1: the tariffs.
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: Am I reading that correctly?
Speaker 11: I think I would let them speak for themselves. But
Speaker 11: I think they're either going to be really right or
Speaker 11: really wrong. Right and and I just don't have faith
Speaker 11: that there's some wizard of Oz behind Donald Trump coming
Speaker 11: up with a grand plan that's going to make this
Speaker 11: all work. All I see every day is people are
Speaker 11: paying more for goods, no plan on housing, more for energy.
Speaker 11: I mean more and more and more and more and more.
Speaker 11: So if you're the guy who said you were going
Speaker 11: to actually bring money into their pockets instead, he's making
Speaker 11: you pay in every part of your life.
Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, and yes.
Speaker 1: It's weird to clap for that.
Speaker 5: By the way, Well this audience just keeps clapping over
Speaker 5: and over again, but they don't in your rebuttal, I
Speaker 5: love this.
Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure I get it right. You said,
Speaker 1: don't tune out.
Speaker 5: It's easy to be exhausted, but American needs you now
Speaker 5: more than ever. Pick one issue you're passionate about, and
Speaker 5: engage and doom scrolling doesn't count. The reason that connected
Speaker 5: with me was it feels so overwhelming.
Speaker 1: What do I respond to? What can I do? But
Speaker 1: the pick one issue? Is a nice action plan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 11: Look, I think part of what I worked on in
Speaker 11: this kind of war plan is if you're an activated
Speaker 11: person and you want to do something, do one of
Speaker 11: two things. Either go deep, particularly on an issue of
Speaker 11: democracy and corruption, because every single day he's threatening our
Speaker 11: democracy and he's like milking the cow of America as
Speaker 11: like a full time job, right, Or go deep on
Speaker 11: the things that really affect people's pocketbooks, right, so the economy,
Speaker 11: social security, healthcare, you know, VA benefits. So one of
Speaker 11: those two one of those two categories are to me
Speaker 11: the place where people should go deep and you can't
Speaker 11: tune out. It feels comforting to stop reading the news
Speaker 11: and not being engage age. But I will just tell
Speaker 11: you as I'm the youngest Democratic female senator right now,
Speaker 11: and I wouldn't be here. Yeah, I just have to say,
Speaker 11: like if previous generations had given up and been like,
Speaker 11: you know, it's really hard right now, Like think of
Speaker 11: the women who fought for a hundred years to allow
Speaker 11: me to get to this spot. Like we don't have
Speaker 11: the right to tune out when previous generations fought and
Speaker 11: fought fought.
Speaker 5: So if if you tuned out after the election for
Speaker 5: a week. Okay, time to tune back yet, Shit's getting real,
Speaker 5: So Senator, let's slock and thank you very much for
Speaker 5: being here.
Speaker 4: Take a quick break.
Speaker 13: We're right back after this, thank you very much. So
Speaker 13: that's our show for tonight. Now here, it is your
Speaker 13: moment of zad.
Speaker 14: Donald Trump's first one hundred days can be defined by
Speaker 14: one big F word, failure.
