Full Episode
I'm joined by Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Governor Donald Trump's creating a ton of uncertainty, would be putting it nicely. Perhaps the word is calamity with respect to the American economy while he and his regime try to gaslight us that this is normal, that we're just detoxing is the word that they're using. Are we just detoxing? What are you seeing, Governor?
No, this isn't detox. This is destruction. And it's doing it in a way that's playing with people's lives and playing with their livelihoods and playing with their legacies. And what's really interesting is that when you look at what's happening to specifically the people who have raised their hands to serve others,
Specifically, the people who are our public servants, the ones who are making sure that seniors are getting their health care, the ones who are making sure that veterans are having a proper final burial, the ones who are making sure that our streets are safe, that these are the ones that are being told that somehow their work is unnecessary or that or non-essential.
And it's especially deeply offensive when we are seeing this attack on people who have who have raised their hands to serve and taken an oath and an attack by people who have never been willing to take that oath themselves. And so this is this is not a detox. This is actually a fundamental devolving of basic American values.
There's a trend here, right? Beating down on marginalized communities, beating down on people who serve, beating down on our allies, but trying to suck up to authoritarian regimes and strong men who really aren't all that strong. I mean, to me, if these past 60 days feels like in eternity, have shown anything. I mean, to me, it's actually shown complete and utter weakness, incompetence, yes.
But also, I just see a weak and pathetic man, whatever we're going to call him, from the White House just oozing weakness. What do you make of it all?
I think it's showing what oftentimes bullies are going to show, that bullies are oftentimes people who are actually the weakest. They're just the most insecure. You know, you're going to have a showdown with a president who was literally attacked and has been spending the past years fighting and defending his people.
in a in a in a violent and brave way despite watching an invasion of his country and that's who you choose to beat up on when you bring all the governors together you're going after the governor of maine uh about what about what she's doing in her state it's this type of it's this bullying behavior that i think is um is is not just not just unnecessary on call for
it leads to this measure of performative politics that, frankly, I think people are just exhausted by. Because people just simply want results in their own lives.
