Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

He wants to replace it with more tariffs. And how is his tariffs working out for the American people? It's raising costs. It's creating tremendous uncertainty. And he can't even get his tariff plan right. I mean, it's one thing to have a shitty tariff plan. It's another to not even be consistent with your crappy plan. And that's what we see going on here.

And that's why I think the market is reacting to this. I think this is going to probably get worse before it gets better. The American people need to need to buckle up for a little bit of a wild ride. But let me, let me tell you this. We are a great country. We've got the best innovators in the world. We've got the best military. We got a strong workforce. We're going to get through this.

I'm hearing exactly that. I had a dozen veterans here in my office about a week and a half ago or so. These are folks that served our country in uniform. Many of them were combat veterans. Several of them were disabled. One was 100% disabled who had a government job after leaving the military because of his disability. Recently received a excellent or very good performance report.

Three weeks later, he's fired via email from the richest guy in the world. Elon Musk fired him for poor performance. This guy was doing his job really well. I mean, at least they should be fair about it and just say, hey, I'm firing you because we don't want you anymore. They even have to lie about it and tell this guy he's a bad performer. That same story happened thousands of times.

6,000 veterans who served this country honorably just kicked to the side of the road, their lives ruined. The next day, this guy was starting a minimum wage job in a kitchen. That's what Donald Trump and Elon Musk think about veterans.

It's insane. I mean, and it's it's dangerous. How do we tell Putin and other dictators around the world that you can't invade your neighbor when we start threatening to send troops to take the Panama Canal or start talking about how we're going to take Greenland possibly by force or maybe, you know, this this crazy. crazy stuff about Canada.

You can't be talking about your friends in this way. So I think it's dangerous. It makes us weaker. He thinks it makes us look tough. He thinks he's a tough guy. As you point out, here's a guy that avoided being drafted during Vietnam because he has bone spurs when he was in his, what, 20s? And now he's in his 70s, and he's on the golf course a couple times a week. I mean, I don't get it.
