Jeffrey Sachs

It's just catastrophic on every level.

It's just catastrophic on every level.

I can't believe this.

Here's the real thing is that I think they already know that if it's a free and fair fight, like they're cooked in the midterms.

if it's any sort of like legitimate election.

And so I think that is the other calculus here.

Like we've already seen them throw out a potential, we had that memo that came to light of them declaring a national emergency over bamboo ballots.

China interference in the elections.

So they're floating that.

The potential Maduro deal, there was reporting on that, which seems like a fever dream conspiracy.

Apparently, they really are thinking of getting Maduro to be like, oh, yeah, I totally rigged the election from Venezuela with Hugo Chavez's ghost.

You've got Tulsi doing something in Puerto Rico.

You've got Tulsi doing something in Fulton County.

And now you have this war with Iran, where Trump also said that Iran interfered in 2020 as well.

So he is looking for a way to not just mess with the elections, but declare a national emergency, move the election, I mean, really seize control.

of what's gonna happen here because I think he knows that he's electorally a dead man walking already.

So I do think that is part of the calculus that's going into this as well as you try to wrap your head around why any president would do something that is so profoundly stupid and unpopular.

No, I agree with you.

I mean, it's an incredible act of hubris to think that you could just... That's what I'm saying.

That you could just impose your will on the entirety of the American public at basically the barrel of a gun.
