S2 Ep1021: Josh Barro: Total Idiocy

These are not, you know, fire-breathing lefties. And they're important businesses in a community on your main street. And they're getting squeezed by like PBMs, these pharmacy benefit managers. They're essentially monopolists. There's three or four of these companies that got like 80% of the market share. And they're killing pharmacies. And so I named that as a fight. It is a fight.

It's an example where there is a bad guy who's hurting pharmacies, who's driving up prescription costs. And you got to name them and what you're going to do about it. And I think we need more of those kinds of fights now. We should pick them, we should take them on, and we should be clear who we're standing up for in those fights.

Chris Deluzio here from Western Pennsylvania, proud son of the Rust Belt. I think a wrong-for-decades consensus in Washington on free trade's been a race to the bottom. It's hollowed out our industrial power, cost us good jobs. The president's tariff announcement, though, and his trade strategy has been chaotic. It's been inconsistent.

We should not treat our economic allies, like Canada, the same as trade cheats like communist China. I do not want to see corporations use the cover of these tariffs to now price gouge families. Tariffs are a powerful tool. They can be used strategically or they can be misused. They've got to be used in sectors that make sense. They've got to be paired with real, meaningful industrial policies.

Well, I think let's start with the easy thing, right? What Donald Trump is doing is reckless and dangerous and he should stop. I mean, I think. You have near unanimity, I think, among Democrats on that point, period. I don't think it's ever enough for Democrats to just be this guy's bad and particularly just Donald Trump is bad. Like we've tried that, right?

We lost the presidency, the House and the Senate. I don't think we can define ourselves just in opposition to him. And yet what he's doing is tremendously dumb and dangerous. And even a guy like me from the Rust Belt, from steel country, who is mad about seeing manufacturing go away, can say clearly what he's doing is wrong, is foolish, is dangerous.

I think that helps Democrats when a guy like me can say how bad President Trump has been here.
