As comedian Steve Hofstadter put it on threads, if speaking out against fascism damages your brand, that means your brand is fascism.
But since our last recording, some execs are speaking out, at least in Minnesota.
On Sunday, more than 60 CEOs of Minnesota-based companies, including Target, Best Buy, and 3M, released a letter calling for de-escalation.
It took them long enough.
And more than 450 tech workers from Google, Meta, OpenAI, and other companies have signed a letter urging CEOs to demand ICE leave cities and cancel company contracts with ICE.
Scott and I talked about what happened this weekend as a turning point.
Anthony, I'd love your thoughts on this because, again, you were just at Davos, tons of business leaders.
You obviously are tuned into the political system.
You are a Republican who is turned away from the Republican Party very early, I would add.
Talk about what is happening here.
Obviously, we're all worried about the republic itself, as the mayor had, but it's an on-the-ground moving situation.
So I'd love you to look at it from the business point of view, from Trump's point of view, and your own.

Can I ask you, you were at Davos.
Let me just say, I talked to them behind the scenes, including people that are close to Trump.
Let me just say, like, so close they could be on the other side of him.
