1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Having good life insurance is incredibly important. I know from

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: personal experience. I was sixteen when my father passed away.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: We didn't have any money. He didn't leave us in

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: the best shape. My mother single mother, now widow, myself

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: sixteen trying to figure out how am I going to

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: pay for college and lo and behold, my dad had

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: one life insurance policy that we found wasn't a lot,

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: but it was important at the time, and it's why

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: I was able to go to college. Little did he

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: know how important that would be in that moment. Well,

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: you've got a growing family. Hello there, Chuck Todd. Here

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: it is Friday, December twelfth. I thought I would jump

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: in with just a quick little update on what was

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: I think a pretty monumental day that when we look

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: back on what happened on Thursday, December eleven in the

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: era of Trump, that this will be one could be

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: one of those plot points. And I know we've been

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: done this road before. It could be is this the

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: sign that it's coming to an end? Etcetera, etcetera. But

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about two important things that happen and in

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: two ways, where something President Trump demanded, where he tried

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: to bend the will of the law, bend the will

43
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: of politics, bend the will of individuals his way, and

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to do it. Obviously, the big

45
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: news is what happened in Indiana, with essentially Indiana Republicans

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: feeling comfortable saying no to Donald Trump. But earlier in

47
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: the day we had a grand jury who you know,

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: the famous joke is you can get a grand jury

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: to indict a ham sandwich. Perhaps the Trump administration should

50
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: have tried indicting a ham sandwich named Letitia James. Rather

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: than trying to indict Leticia James a second time on

52
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: this idea that she committed mortgage fraud. Grand jury said no.

53
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: And it is you're starting to see a pattern here

54
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: where there is more comfort in pushing back, and when

55
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: you do, you're not seeing the consequences that are threatened.

56
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: But let's start with the political consequences or lack thereof,

57
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: with what happened in Indiana. This is Republicans saying no.

58
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: This is not the first time, right, we have seen right,

59
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: There has been sort of this. I wrote about in

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: a sub stack about a month ago that I said,

61
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: the cracks and the coalition are starting to appear focusing

62
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: then on the Marjorie Taylor Green situation Thomas Massey, and

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: it's like, slowly, but surely, you've had people push back

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: and there have been no consequences. Look and Trump one

65
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: point zero. And even in the four yer exile period

66
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: where he was still sort of hovering over our politics,

67
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: even if he didn't have actual power, his words mattered,

68
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: his threats mattered, and he did instill sometimes fear in

69
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the minds of some Republicans to go his way, because

70
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the voters were with him.

71
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: But that's the issue here. It's like, why did Indiana

72
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Republicans feel comfortable pushing back? Why does Marjorie Taylor Green

73
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: feel comfortable pushing back? Why is Thomas Massey felt comfortable

74
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: pushing back? Why do you see a growing you know,

75
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: ever so slowly, a growing number of House Republicans and

76
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Senate Republicans essentially looking for ways to go in a

77
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: different direction than what the Trump administration is demanding. And

78
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: that is because this economy is not good and voters

79
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: don't like this economy, and ultimately, if they don't like

80
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: the economy, everything else starts to bother them. And who

81
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: knows this better than lawmakers that are closer to the

82
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 1: voters than the president is. He has had a hard

83
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: time making Thomas Massey pay for what he has done,

84
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: and he's essentially pushing back on him. In particular on

85
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. Marjorie Taylor Green seemed to indicate that

86
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: she just didn't want to go through the idea of

87
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: having to fight Trump in a primary, and so she

88
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: chose resignation rather than going down that road. So perhaps

89
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: you could make the argument, if you really wanted to,

90
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: to say, well, Trump did intimidate or intimidator out of Congress.

91
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: She's also now serving as an incredible rhetorical weapon against

92
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: him from the point of view of MAGA. But this

93
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: is a significant moment because what is he going to

94
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: be able to do. It wasn't just one or two

95
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Indiana Republicans that stepped up against him. You ended up

96
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 1: having a fairly large coalition. You had the former governor

97
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: Mitch Daniels, whether he was just giving advice to lawmakers

98
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: or actively trying to thwart him, because Mitch Daniels is

99
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: a conservative, is a Republican who does not believe any Essentially,

100
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Trump's vision for the Republican Party. It is hard to

101
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: call Trump a conservative anymore by any definition of conservatism

102
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: that most of us have grown up with over the

103
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: last fifty years. He's not for limited government. If anything,

104
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: he is aggressively trying to be strong government, trying to

105
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: use the power of government to get business to do

106
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: its well, use the power of government to get other

107
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: countries to bend do as will. That is not a

108
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: limited government philosophy. He is also not. The debt is

109
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: not an animating issue to him. Balanced budgets are not

110
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: an animated issue to him, never was for him personally

111
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: as a businessman. And he has certainly taken that philosophy

112
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: into government with him. And you have somebody like a

113
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: Mitch Daniels who think, hey, government shouldn't be a part

114
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: of this. And then there's the whole state's rights issue,

115
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: which has been arguably among the most important planks to

116
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: the conservative movement the last seventy years. Right, it was

117
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: under the umbrella of states rights that conservatives wanted to

118
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: fight back on the Civil Rights Act. It was under

119
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: the umbrella of states rights that conservative social conservatives pushed

120
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: back on abortion laws. And here he is essentially trying

121
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: to thwart the state's rights, whether it's the threats that

122
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: were made by Heritage Action. And by the way, I

123
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: don't know what's happened to the Heritage Well we know

124
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: what's happened to the Heritage Foundation. They just followed the

125
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: money donors that wanted to support Donald Trump became very

126
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: important to Heritage. So they've changed their philosophy completely. You know,

127
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: there were two major think tanks in this town on

128
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: the conservative side of the aisle, the American Enterprise Institute

129
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: and Heritage. American Enterprise Institute is still a small c

130
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: conservative think tank that certainly has plenty of ideas that

131
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: sort of in the Venn diagram overlap with some of

132
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: the goals of the Trump administration. But at their core

133
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: these are still sort of this is a Reagan This

134
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: is a think tank that it thinks of conservatism through

135
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: the definition of Ronald Reagan strong, you know, international foreign policy,

136
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: interventionists when necessary, but sort of a little bit of

137
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: a moral code to our foreign policy. There is no

138
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: more moral code to our foreign policy anymore, inn Trump.

139
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: And then of course what he's doing with tariffs and

140
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: the economy that is not sort of that. And so

141
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation used to be sort of in that

142
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: sort of shared in some ways. Heritage and AI simply

143
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: fought over individuals to work at their institutions because philosophically

144
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: they were mostly on the same page. But Heritage decided

145
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: to sell out financially. And now that they came out

146
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: with and said that somehow federal funds would be taken

147
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: away from Indiana, any projects that Indiana thought they were

148
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: going to get would be taken away. It It is

149
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: just anti antithetical to what conservatism has been for the

150
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: last fifty years. Again, apparently not caring about federalism, not

151
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: caring about states rights. You so, and I actually think

152
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: that you're going to see a lot of Republicans push

153
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: back on this executive order that Donald Trump signed last

154
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: night trying to prevent states from doing their own regulation

155
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: and artificial intelligence. That is going to be an interesting

156
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: It's going to be some interesting I don't think what

157
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: he signed is constitutional. I don't think he can do that.

158
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: It appears that only Congress can overwrite state laws. That

159
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: they would have to do it. He didn't have the

160
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: votes in Congress to include this. This was yet another

161
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: sign right they tried to bully that moratorium on state

162
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: regulations into the last couple of bills, either tried to

163
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: put it to the must pass Defense Bill or try

164
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: to get it into opening the government bill, and they

165
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: couldn't get it there because there were so many Republicans

166
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: that were against this. And guess who else is against this?

167
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: The public. The public is very skeptical right now of AI,

168
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: very nervous about AI. And so this is politically, I

169
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: actually think, really damaging to Republicans in twenty twenty six. Right,

170
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump doesn't want you know, doesn't want to prevent

171
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: you could just see the ads now, right, Donald Trump

172
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: doesn't want to prevent these tech companies from abusing our kids'

173
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: mental health. Donald Trump doesn't want to prevent these tech

174
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: companies from abusing your pocketbook by doing surveillance, pricing and

175
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: all this stuff. That is going to be you know,

176
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: that is they're going to see a lot of Republicans,

177
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: probably starting with Ronda Santis, who has been among the

178
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: most vocal conservative Republicans in the States against this federal moratorium,

179
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: against a regulation. So Donald Trump's inviting another fight, and

180
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: he's going to be inviting yet more proof that perhaps

181
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: the Emperor's you know, and I'm not going to sit

182
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: here and say the Emperor has no clothes. But we're

183
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: starting to see a striptease here. And it feels like,

184
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: now this is the third straight month where there's been

185
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: something where parts of his coalition have begun to fray. Right,

186
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: First it was over Epstein, Right, you've seen it that.

187
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: Now you've seen it over healthcare and the state of

188
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: the economy. We've seen it on tariffs, which also are

189
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: linked to the state of the economy. And I'm telling you,

190
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: and now we've got it on artificial intelligence and sort

191
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: of getting into bed with big tech, who's just as

192
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: unpopular on the conservative right as they are on the

193
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: progressive left. Like I said Thursday, December eleventh, is I

194
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: think is going to be seen as one of the

195
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: more significant days when we start to plot when is

196
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: this the beginning of the end? Right? Was it Election

197
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: Day twenty twenty five? Was it the break on the

198
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: Epstein files with the discharge petition? Was it? You know,

199
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: what we're seeing is a consistent Is it the Indiana

200
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: Republicans saying no one redistricting? The bottom line is there's

201
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: fewer Republicans who are afraid of Donald Trump. There are

202
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: more base conservatives who don't like this economy, who aren't

203
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: going to punish local lawmakers who decide to defy Donald

204
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: Trump if it is grounded in something the public themselves

205
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: is concerned about. So look, a lot of people have

206
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: lost money trying to predict the end of the Trump era.

207
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: But as I've said before, we're in year ten. It

208
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: is no political movement lasts that long. And we're starting

209
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: to see Trump's grip loosening all the time. Pick your metaphor.

210
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: Emperor is doesn't have no clothes, but he's looking you know,

211
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: he's never looked more naked than he looks now on

212
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: twelve on December twelfth, twenty twenty five. Now, when he's

213
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: in these moments, I do you know, he's going to

214
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: want to prove he still has strength. He's going to

215
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: want to prove he still has influence. He's going to

216
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: want to prove he can still sort of bend people

217
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: towards his will. So I wouldn't be surprised. You know,

218
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: nobody's going to let go of power easily. So he's

219
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: being challenged a lot. Probably should be prepared for a

220
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 1: lot of rants, a lot of public threats, But the

221
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: bottom line is a lot more of those folks on

222
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: the receiving end are going to be are viewing those

223
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: threats as empty, and they're now realizing Donald Trump's never

224
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: going to be on a ballot again, and Donald Trump's

225
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: influence gets weaker and weaker every day he's in office. So,

226
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: as the old saying goes, if it walks like a

227
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: lame duck, if it quacks like a lame duck, I

228
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: think it's slightly we have a lame duck. I'll see

229
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: him Monday
