What recent events triggered chaos at airports and market manipulation?
When is the AI bubble going to burst? How do you AI-proof your job? How should colleges handle AI and prepare students for a shifting job market? I'm Henry Blodgett, and on my show, Solutions, I've been exploring all of those questions and more with experts who have actual answers. We hear enough about our problems. Let's solve them. Follow Solutions with Henry Blodgett.
Welcome to Reading Moderates. I'm Scott Galloway.
And I'm Jessica Tarliff.
How should Democrats respond to Trump's chaotic political tactics?
Joining us now is Congresswoman Sarah McBride, one of the most compelling new voices in Washington. In her first year, she's focused on lowering costs, defending programs, including Medicaid and SNAP, and bringing a bit more sanity and dignity back to politics. She's also been outspoken on the growing conflict with Iran and what it means for Americans while it's here at home. Very much appreciate you being here.
Thank you for having me.
So if you aren't already, please make sure to subscribe to our YouTube page to stay in the loop on all things politics and news. All right, let's bust right into it. It has been a haphazard few days in politics where we've seen everything from President Trump mocking the death of American patriot and hero Robert Mueller to now he's sending ICE agents to 13 airports in the middle of a funding fight and calling Democrats the greatest threat to America. It feels like a mix of distraction and escalation at the same time. How do Democrats call that out in a way that actually lands with people instead of just feeding into sort of this indignant cycle?
What impact does the Iran conflict have on American citizens?
I think all of these connect because it's the chaos of this administration that we've seen from day one. I think people are frustrated by the distractions. I think people are frustrated by the chaos. I think they want a federal government that keeps the planes and trains running on time. They want a federal government that delivers for them. And I think everything that we've seen from the rising price of gas as a byproduct of the Iran war with its changing objectives and unclear motivations to the chaos at the airports, which this president has now said will continue because he's throwing the Save America Act into the negotiations when the Republicans in the Senate were ready to work with Democrats yesterday.
to pay TSA agents. Across the board, the chaos, the instability, the distractions, I think, are exhausting the American people, and I think they want a government that actually functions and delivers for them. When government ceases to deliver for people, It's easy to fall into a politics of entertainment.
How is the culture war affecting trans rights in America?
But then once you put that politics of entertainment in charge, I think people grow tired of it pretty quickly.
But when you meet with your colleagues, I mean, right now it's basically chaos at airports. Is it, all right, stay out of the way of your enemy shooting themselves in the foot? Or are there specific actions involved? that you and your colleagues feel that you need to take to try and relieve that chaos at the airports? Generally speaking, what is the strategy among Democrats right now?
The chaos at the airports has been a problem that we have wanted to solve. I mean, we've always been open to funding the rest of DHS while keeping ICE out of that funding package so that we can continue to negotiate for the reforms. And it was clear that that strategy was working, is working.
What challenges does Congresswoman McBride face as a transgender lawmaker?
Republicans were feeling the pressure to at least fund The other portions of DHS, which originally they were not willing to do if it didn't include ICE, we just got a report I think this morning from Punchbowl that said that Senate Leader Thune was ready to reopen the rest of DHS and continue the conversations on ICE. Likely they would try to pursue some kind of reconciliation package, but that in the short term we would solve the problem. And the president has now decided to throw the Save America Act into that conversation as a precondition for paying TSA agents, which I think is an incredible self-own on his part and only results in any blame that the American people were going to place on all parties.
