What is the economic backdrop of Trump's tariffs?
In today's episode of Raging Moderates, we're discussing the economy is one quarter away from a possible recession. Mike Waltz gets pushed out. Trump says he doesn't know if he has to uphold due process. And we have one of our favorites, Senator Chris Murphy, joining us to talk about the GOP budget bill and what Democrats are doing to message the possible harms to Americans. All right, let's get into it. We've got our first major shakeup in the West Wing. Trump has ousted National Security Advisor Mike Walz, best known for launching the world's most famous group chat, and nominated him as U.N. ambassador. OK, so you're fired, but you get a free toaster.
Why was Mike Waltz ousted from the West Wing?
Yeah, you get a demotion.
Can Marco Rubio handle multiple roles in the administration?
Yeah, that's it. Stepping in, at least for now, is a jack of all trades and master of none, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who will now be juggling four top-level roles in the administration. Meanwhile, the White House is touting strong April job numbers, but the economy shrunk in the first quarter, and Trump's tariffs really haven't really fully kicked in yet. One of them, 100% tariff on foreign-made movies, which he claims is a national security issue. Yeah. Huh, okay. He's also warning of higher prices and toy shortages this holiday season and says he's okay with that. All right, got banging porn stars that has a tacky 757 laced in four-karat gold that calls every other day. He should lecture us about consumption. Trump's new budget
proposes $163 billion in cuts to education, health, and the environment while boosting law enforcement and border security. He also floated reopening Alcatraz as a symbol of law, order, and justice and said he's unsure whether due process rights must be honored during these mass deportations, though he'll follow the Supreme Court's lead. He hasn't so far.
