Think of the American people as just collateral damage in his own political retribution and mob boss tactics.
So, you know, that's sort of the latest dynamic that we're seeing in New Jersey.

I don't even know how to comment on this.
It's just like, you've got to be, like, who vetted this?
Yes.
We shouldn't be allowing this type of clear effort to influence the president of the United States. You know, every single leader around the world has Trump's number. They know that, you know, you just line things up with with, you know, gold plated this and that and the airplanes and what you know. And it's just it's so blatant. Right.
And I say this as someone who like by virtue of me being in the U.S. Senate was because of a bribery scandal, corruption scandal with gold bars. This is like that on steroids. I mean, when we see just how blatant it is and just because it's in the. You know, just out there in the open doesn't mean it's not wrong. And so that's, you know, very clear.
And what we just need to constantly ask is, I'm interested, like, was it the Trump administration that asked for it or asked for some of these different things that we need to have answers to that right away?
Yeah, I think what we need to show is that it's not just on, you know, it's not just on the elected officials in the U.S., about whether or not they accept these or not, there always should be the consideration of, like, why is this happening? Like, why do we continue to have other countries that are taking these illegal actions and getting away with it?
And they need to know that there are repercussions for this and that we're seeing what it is that is so obvious. I mean, again, you know, the fact that Trump is doing this, I mean, it just... Like any American, like my nine-year-old son today was just like making fun of this $400 million plan because he knows it's, everyone knows it's wrong.
Even Trump, I'm sure, knows it's wrong, but he just doesn't care. And the American people need to push back on that.
And you see it right in front of you again, like in Saudi Arabia just the other day, Musk is there announcing that Saudi Arabia is now going to use Starlink for a good chunk of what they're doing. And so, like, again, It's just out in the open.
I mean, when I worked at State Department before, worked at embassies before, yes, we're advocating in general about American interests, American business interests and whatnot. But to go to the mat for an individual company in a way that's threatening, in a way, I mean, the report was saying, oh, if you're not doing this, here are some other things that...
u.s programs that we have in your countries that could be threatened especially when musk is acting as a government employee as well i mean that's the you know that's the line that again so clearly is broken there you know he's somebody that is simultaneously you know got companies with government contracts and government interests
He is simultaneously getting all this data and operating within the government. And then he's also running the largest super PAC in the history of America. That's what we need to be pushing back against. And holding up things like the Hatch Act, things that I was having to abide by, that's what we need to enforce.
So using the judicial means, but also trying to have the legislature be able to do our job in terms of enforcing some of these actions that we've been pushing on. So, I mean, look, it's challenging watching this all, but we have to keep up, make sure we're documenting this, make sure we're keeping track of this and finding the ways to expose that corruption.
