Transcripts For MSNBC The 11th Hour With Stephanie Ruhle 20240911

To jail his rivals and signals he wont accept anything less than a win in november. Plus, the Trump Policy that experts fear could tank the Worlds Economy as the 11th Hour gets underway on this monday night. [ music ] just 22 hours away from the first debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Tomorrow Nights Debate will also be the first time the candidates ive ever met in person. My colleague Peter Alexander Le has a closer look at what they have been doing to get ready for the big night. Tonight, Vice President harris touching down in philadelphia. Her facetoface with former President Trump just 24 hours away. St 2how are you doing . Camp and sources tell nbc News Harris and her team are focusing on ways to needle trump, to provoke them, and that she studied past drunk debate clips. It is time to turn the page on the divisiveness, it is time to bring our country together. But a key challenge for harris trying to present herself as the Change Candidate when she is also the incumbent vp. A new poll heshows more than 60 of likely voters [ inaudible ] half of those voters say trump will bring that change. But only 25 say harris will. Meanwhile, the former president in maralago doing what sources described as informal Debate Prep. Among those advising them, former m, democratic congresswoman tulsi gabbard. We are run by stupid people and we found that out at the debate with joe, how did that work out . [ inaudible ] but this Warning Today from Trump Rival turned supporter, nikki haley. Donald Trump And Edjade even need to change the way they speak about women. You dont need to go and talk about intelligence or looks or anything else, just focus on the policies. Of course, that last debate made President Bidens performance the number one te issue in the campaign, which then led to him dropping out of the race just three weeks ce later. Buckling into this debate, some voters are concerned about Donald Trumps age and his mental fitness. If he won, Donald Trump would be the oldest person to ever serve as president. On the other hand, vice he president harris will try to present her candidacy is turning a page. [ inaudible ] New York Times columnist Tom Friedman writes these are the 23 words that Vp Harrison needs to say Tomorrow Night, joe and i got a lot of things right, but we got some things wrong, too, and here is what i have learned. With that, lets get smarter with our leadoff panel tonight. Nbc News Washington Correspondent is here, she is in philadelphia to cover the debate Tomorrow Night. Susan glasser joins us, Staff Writer for the New Yorker but and hugo lowe, senior political correspondent for the guardian. All right, susan, the biden Trump Matchup showed us just how much a debate can affect a campaign. Tell us what is at stake Tomorrow Night. Im so excited, im tongue tied. [ laughter ] you are excited, i dont know, i have a little bit of dread going into this. I watched Donald Trump and a lot of president ial debates, and many of them will go down in history as some of the toughest political dialogue ever to watchit, really, since television started airing these things. Es you know, Donald Trump is a blizzard of misinformation and lies when he speaks in these debates. He has a history of certainly talking very aggressively over his opponents. I dont know if the rules will allow that or not this time. The stakes are incredibly high here. We have already crossed the threshold of the most impactful, and i know people hate it when you use that as a word, but the most impact debate ever in the sense that the first Debate Cost Joe Biden indirectly to have to drop out of the race, but i still think this one could be one of the most significant president ial debates of our lifetime, aside from that one. There are so many questions still about harris, incredible pressure on her, and Donald Trump, i mean, look, anything is possible. The reason these two have never met in person is because Donald Trump do not accept a peaceful transfer of power. It is because Donald Trump, when he was president of the united states, chose not to work with the senate. So Tomorrow Night, democrats are going to get what they have been waiting for since she became the nominee. She will have the opportunity to prosecute the case against him on stage, next to him, and Show America who she is. Is that her plan . Her plan is certainly to Show America who she is, and i have been talking to a lot of sources who are familiar with her Debate Preparations, and her mission is definitely to lay out what her vision for america is, and by doing that, it is really to also tell americans who she is. There are a lot of americans who are still not totally really understandingl her background, so she really wants to go and give a biography, talking about her mother, talking about her middleclass background, but she also wants to lay out , her Policy Stances and give voters, including undecided voters were going to be watching this very closely, she wants to give them specific things she is going to do a Harris Administration happens to you thats why we see some Policy Rollouts and she put a lo Policy Page up on her website today, really laying out a number of issues and stances. But she also wants to go and needle Donald Trump. She really wants to go and get under his skin, and really her advisers and her team want Donald Trump To Go Full Donald Trump, and what they mean by that is they want him to lash out, they want him to go personal on her, they want him to say all the things that are derogatory and maybe even racist, their language, not mine, about her, so the american people can really see him at his fullest, but they also want to make sure that she remains calm and doesnt get in pulled into those personal attacks. There really want her to be focused on everyday americans and how their lives are going to be bettered by her administration, while also in some ways trying to bait Donald Trump into making a mistake. He reported that trumps E Team is worried about which donald is going to show up on the Debate Stage Tomorrow Night, but here is the thing, whether it is naughty donald, good donald, tyra donald, fired up donald, his supporters stick with them no matter what. So, why does his performance even matter to them . If it is disastrous, they will rationalize it. I think there are several things going on here. He i think certainly, the trump in campaign [ inaudible ] the model that trump should follow, and the way they see that is that was happy trump, that was good trump, that was trump who was fast on his feet and had little quips and could interject about golf and it ec made him look more personable. And on the flipside, if you get angry trump, that is the real concern, where he starts making remarks, where he starts making remarks about harris, and those are the areas they really donta want to get into because it puts off even his own supporters. Anecdotally, the quiz even the Uber Driver who tend to be trump supporters about what trump should do, they always sae this man talks too much, and when he talks too much and gets riled up and frustrated, he shoots himself in the foot and it is painful to watch. And if it is painful to watch for trump supporters, it is going to be excruciating for g undecided voters, for independence, and for people who generallyen maybe they dont like Kamala Harriss policies, but they also put feel put off by trump, and that is the sliver the Campaign Aides to win this thing. And i think that is a major concern, if you ican turn off even trump supporters, think of what it can do to independence. Susan, at this point, it is like we already know everything there is to know about Donald Trump, so does that make boit that much more of an opportunity or a risk for Kamala Harris who a lot of people in this country dont knowop [ inaudible ] to be the alternative to trump, there is a strong sense that there is in fact a durable , antitrump, nontrump majority in this country. He lost the Popular Vote not once, but twice. There is no indication in surveys that he has gained enormously atnew followers. Man people would say it is remarkable, given everything that has happened, that trump has held onto his support, but he certainly has not tilted up into a considerable majority of the country. In fact, he is the only president in American History since polling began menever to have support of 50 of the country for at least one day of his presidency. So, there is this ceiling for e Donald Trump. So, for harris, the trick is to make the election a referendum on trump and reminding people why they didnt want him in the first place, while also crossing the barrier, i think, g for people to be acceptable pe enough as the alternative. And that is where i think she has a particularly difficult job in the debate tomorrow, because if she just prosecutes the case against Donald Trump, perhaps she would have done enough to really introduce nt yourself to independent voters or even biden 2020 voters who are inclined to vote for her, but might not feel comfortable enough yet that they know enough about her. I dont know if Debate Prep will actually matter. Both of them are very skilled debaters. I want to go back to what hugo was just saying, how trumps team there hoping they get the trump that showed up for the biden debate, but here is the thing. Bu even if that Donald Trump shows up, he didnt do anything exceptional that night. It was Joe Biden who single handedly lost. If he faces off against Kamala Harris at the same trump he was two months ago on the Debate Stage, [ inaudible ] certainly, and i was just talking to a harris aid, who said while President Biden might have had one of the worst president ial debate performances in history, someone who came in very close in second was Donald Trump. Donald trump showed himself as someone was lying profusely, ru who was stumbling, mumbling, do not have a handle on information. That is the type of Htrump Tha Vice President harris is hoping shows up Tomorrow Night, and she wants to make sure that people see that, which is part of the reason why there was a back and forth thabout muted microphones, because the Harrisf Campaign really wants people to see Trump Mumbling and seeing all the things you might say under his breath, including even cursing at her, using derogatory language. So, there really hoping that if he is that same Donald Trump, they will be able to use this against him. At the same hitime, he does wan to make sure people walk away from this debate not she beat up Donald Trump and she really did attack them and landed a bunch of punches, she needs to also come away feeling like there are people, especially those voters who say i have a clear vision of what a Harris Administration would look like, i have a clear vision of why she is not Donald Trump i also have a clear vision, frankly, why she is not a third term of biden, because m i have been talking to some Harris Campaign aides and other people familiar with Debate Preparations, who have been telling me that there is this sort of real debate going on about how she differentiates itself from President Biden. She is loyal to him, she definitely supports them, supports a lot of his policies, because of course she is a sitting Vice President , but shen needs to differentiate herself. And she does have some sh different views, including on Capital Gains and some Tax Policy that she anwrote out las week, so it is going to be very interesting for me to see what else he does to try to differentiate herself. Because we can expect we are going to see Donald Trump try to do something like Lay Blame for the chaos that happened after the afghanistan withdrawal and a number of other policies that the biden administration has pulled out, but she is the Vice President , it is going to be very hard for me to do that, but i will be very interested to see how she says i have my own views and hear is what they are. Lets talk about the double standard Vp Harris is alfacing. I want to share a bit of Donald Trump this past weekend, talking about immigrants. These watch this. By the way, colorado is one state, it is much worse in other states, but in colorado, they have taken over. I mean, in colorado, they are so brazen, they have taken over sections of the state. And you know, getting them out will be a bloody story. It should have never been allowed to come into our country, nobody checked them. Talking about reports that a group of migrants took over an Apartment Building in rural colorado. Those reports have been spread online by Elon Musk, the person who owns twitter, with one of the biggest reaches in the media landscape. Well, for fax sake, lets tell you the truth, because police, lawenforcement and aurora, as well as people who are living in those apartments, say this is absolutely not true. Y it is categorically false. But when you go back to Donald Trump, he is promising mass deportation, and if he wins, he is saying it would inbe a blood story. I want you to just imagine for a second the reaction in Vice President harris, who is saying anything like that, just pushing these massive lies. Susan, do the moderators Tomorrow Night have to ask Donald Trump about this comment . In the last 48 hours, there he is spreading a massive lie about migrants in this country, pushing it, do they have to bring this up Tomorrow Night . I mean, short answer, yes. Slightly longer answer is that there are so many, so many things that trump has said, just even in the last week of this campaign, that are [ inaudible ] delegates holding up signs, one of the things that was very striking for me about attending that convention in milwaukee was that this was m one of the biggest Applause Lines of the convention. Trump believes that his essentially hate speech directed towards immigrants as a y class, as a category, are T Reason that he became President S in the first place in 2016. And what i have seen in this campaign is the escalation of that rhetoric again and again and again. You know, its not a surprise at all that he is making wild, false claims, and advancing this information. , you know, this week, it is colorado. I am sure next week, it will be something else. Donald trump has been running this same play ever since he became a political candidate. There is an invasion of migrants coming to take over your country. Yes, but of yocourse, that same play only worked in 2016. He tried to do it in the ra the caravans, the caravans. Republicans lost disastrously in those midterms, and then right after those elections, we never heard about those specific caravans ever again. But we have to keep our eyes peeled, because these stories, many of which are not true, are getting spread by rightwing media. [ inaudible ] and yes, by Donald Trump. Susan, hugo, thank you all so much. When we returned, Donald Trump takes the Big Lie into a whole other level. His new plan to jail lawyers, donors, and later, from ivf to marijuana, we are getting into trumps flipflopping views, fl that maybe he is using to lure voters. We are getting to that point in the campaign. The 11th Hour just getting underway on a monday night. [ music ] [ music ] she switched careers to make money for your weddings. Ooh Penny Stocks are blowing up. Sweetie, grab your piggy bank, were going all in. Let me ask you. For your wedding, do you want a gazebo and a river . Uh, i dont. Whats a gazebo .

At Fisher Investments, were clearly different. My Mental Health was better. But uncontrollable movements called td, tardive dyskinesia, started disrupting my day. Td felt embarrassing. I felt like disconnecting. I asked my doctor about treating my td, and learned about ingrezza. Ingrezza ingrezza is clinically proven for reducing td. Most people saw results in just two weeks. People taking ingrezza can stay on most Mental Health meds. Numberone prescribed ingrezza has simple dosing for td always one pill, once daily.

Switch today you can save. With the debate just hours away, the former president has ramped up his threats to jail political opponents if he wins the election. Our own Vaughn Hillyard as the details. Reporter tonight, as he prepares for a showdown, former President Trump vowing to totally reshape the Justice Department and turn in political opponents. We will completely overhaul, was corrupted department. Reporter doctored images of crats, along with Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates in orange jumpsuits with the caption how to actually fix the system. And in trumps new book, alleging Facebook Ceo Mark zuckerberg will try to unlawfully influence the 2024 election, writing if he does anything illegal, this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison. [ inaudible ] i am concerned. We will c potentially professionals who are more willing to bend general rules of prosecutorial ethics or legal standards, who will occupy these positions. Reporter this summers consequential supreme Court Ruling also gave the president absolutely immunity over anything. Although trumps gop supporters argue that doj and prosecutors are going after him to hurt his campaign. My poll numbers, i believe are higher now, because the public understands it is a hoax. You believe. Lets discuss this and more with former democratic senator stuart stevens, a veteran of the Mitt Romney and george w. Bush president ial campaigns. He is now with the lincoln project. Stewart, are people taking these threats seriously enough . No. They are not. You know, there is this reluctance. I think the majority of the blame lies with my old party. You know, these republican senators and governors and elected officials who are supporting trump, [ inaudible ] if there was election fraud, what are they doing being elected . How does it work now . You know . So, they know this, and yet their remaining silent about it. And this is a system that is based upon goodwill and faith. A lot of our elections are conducted by volunteers that are doing a civic duty. And what trump is doing is sort of this oldfashioned voter intimidation, which tells us more about that, having seen it in alabama than most folks. A dog, what do you think, can he actually do this . Look, if elected and he does what project 2025 says about the Justice Department, he can do it, because he will control those levels of power, and congress will not do anything, congress will be illequipped to try to stop him to do those kind of things. Whats interesting about this, stephanie, is back in the summer when project 2025 all Of A Sudden started getting a ton of publicity and the people in this country started seeing it for what it is, a danger and a threat to democracy, Donald Trump tried to distance himself from it. Oh, i dont have a clue about what that is, there is some bad stuff in there, im not going to have anything to do with it. But what he is now describing about the Justice Department and retribution and prosecuting is exactly what is in project 2025 , and people need to understand that and so much more that is in that project, because it is a danger. And yes, if he has the ability, he will direct the Justice Department to do exactly what he wants to do, to go after whomever. If you read some of the most recent literature, he tried to do that in his first term, and was not successful. But he tried to do that in his first term. Thats Sl Outrage from the right. The lies about migrants and an Apartment Complex in colorado. This one is being pushed from people like Elon Musk, stephen miller, and even the Vp Candidate jd vance himself, theyre all pushing these baseless claims that migrants are killing and eating pets in springfield, ohio. And now, sure enough, Donald Trump is trying to campaign on it. Lets set the record straight. For fax say, this is completely false. Slow down and explain it. The Justice Department released a statement, saying, there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, or abused by individuals within the immigrant community. Stewart, this is insane. But these things are being pushed. I thought bill ackman, who is a professional investor, who does Due Diligence for a living, who wouldnt give a dollar to a business that he didnt research himself, he is tweeting this garbage out. But the worry is these scare tactics, they work. Yeah, they do work. Look, i think we are seeing the whole american experiment really being challenged here. There is a question here, what does it mean to be an american . Are we going to go along with this . And when you see these vastly wealthy people like bill ackman, who only become wealthy like that in an American System, and they are so anxious to change the American System that made them, they would rather be ceos in russia, because that is where trump is headed. If you dont please him, he is going to come after you. And if ackerman or any of these people think they are exempt from that, just wait until the cross Donald Trump on something and he will come after that. But you know, at the heart of the Will Trumpism is [ inaudible ] it was optimistic, it was bold, everybody had one lifes lottery, if you were born an american, became an american. And now it is a party that is driven by people of these imaginary demons that are out there. And i think it is so sad, because most people dont wake up in the morning fearful, and yet, this has taken over this party, and its incredibly disturbing. Doug, we hear all these complaints all the time about big tack and beat the big tech, in the tank for democrats, it is totally biased. But lets get to the truth, because here you have Elon Musk, the owner of twitter, which has enormous reach, he himself has endorsed Donald Trump. And it day in and day out, he is pushing misinformation, disinformation, and allowing it to run rampant on his platform. The only problem is that we have a first amendment and he has a lot of money and he has got that platform and can do whatever he wants to do. Thats the bottom line. He has got millions of followers, he has got billions of dollars, he has put it all into that one platform, and unfortunately, at least right now, that is the only town square, that is the only platform that is out there that gets anything other than the young folks on tiktok. And look, stephanie, youre going to see more and more of this. I got asked the other day about a potential october surprise. If there is an october surprise, i believe it is going to be something that Elon Musk will make up and just put out there. It will not be based on fact, it will be these kinds of false narratives. Everything that they possibly can to drive people away from Kamala Harris. And that is the real sad thing. The story about eating the pets, its typical, i think. And stewart is absolutely right, it is playing on a fear and a stereotype, coming from the south. I can tell you, i have seen so many politicians play on peoples fears and stereotypes about minorities, immigrants, and others. And that is exactly what this is about. And in fact, the only thing i have seen about maybe eating a pet was a picture of robert f. Kennedy jr. , the new surrogate for trump, eating a goat or a Dog Or Something like that. O, robert f. Kennedy jr. And eating roadkill. You are absolutely right. [ inaudible ] here we are in 2024 and that is typical. [ inaudible ] he is spreading rightwing Conspiracy Theories every chance he can get. And yes, Donald Trump may get more negative coverage than Kamala Harris does, maybe that is because journalists do Fact Checking and we fact check these two candidates. There is a lot more checking that needs to be done on trumps side. All right, these gentlemen are sticking around. Dont leave just yet. [ inaudible ] says he will vote for Marijuana Legalization in november. Is this the latest ploy to win over voters . We are going to get into it when the 11th Hour continues.

The New York Times Asiana Poll shows Donald Trump leading harrison by one point within the margin of error. 28 of likely voters say they need to learn more about harris, while only 9 say they need to learn more about trump. Democrats have a slight edge when it comes to enthusiasm for voting compared to republicans. Doug and stewart are still with us. Some people were worried for Kamala Harris when they saw this poll, but if you look closely, undecided, 28 say they dont know her yet. Doesnt that mean this is an opportunity for her, meaning she hasnt hit her ceiling, she has got room to grow, and Tomorrow Night, she is going to get a chance to really get to know america. I think that is exactly what that shows, stephanie, and it is consistent with other things we have seen and heard. Since she became the presumptive nominee. She has continued to try to help people in this country try to get to know her better, to know her more, to know her positions. And the more they do, the more they like. But you know, people have to make an effort sometimes, she cant knock on Everyones Door and have a cup of coffee with them, they have got to watch and listen. Hopefully, that is what is going to be happening Tomorrow Night. I think she is going to get huge audiences for this debate, it is incredibly anticipated, because people do want to know, they do want to see her. And i was listening to your previous panel talking about this, not only when they hear her story, but also prosecuting the case against Donald Trump, i think she will win over a lot of those, and in addition, i think she is going to win over some of the 9 that want to know more about Donald Trump, because they may learn a lot Tomorrow Night. What do you think . A look, i have always felt [ inaudible ] goes back to the 2020 race, [ inaudible ] it shouldnt be about Donald Trump, because there was nothing you could say about Donald Trump that would change Anyones Opinion on Donald Trump. Alyssa articulated this very well like she always does. [ inaudible ] said that Donald Trump is the number one issue, the number two issue, the number 100 issue, and i think that is still true and i think there is a desire to normalize. It has to be fought at every turn. So, if i was in a debate with the Vice President , i was think [ inaudible ] and do it great. So, i would say she is a prosecutor, she is very good at this, she has proven that she can question witnesses in hearings with extraordinary alacrity and insightful questions to really put a person on the spot, so i would go out there and prosecute Donald Trump, not just for being a criminal, which he is, but a failed presidency. And i think if you do that, you also show what your alternative is. But i think what people are going to come away with from Tomorrow Night is that Donald Trump doesnt respect her, he is afraid of women, specifically African American women, and i think the total sort of comparison of these two, one optimistic, hopeful. One angry, afraid, is going to be what people are going to take away. All right, this is a late night, lets talk about weed. Donald trump revealed today that he will vote to legalize weed and florida, and maybe more importantly, make it so the weed businesses, Cannabis Businesses can actually use the banking system. Now, his gop allies in the senate have already said they are not going to support this, so is this part of a strategy on Donald Trumps part to continue to court young male white voters, kind of the Wwe Universe and the Elon Musk fan boys [ inaudible ] is this part of that strategy . Sure, i think it is part of that strategy, but i think it is also part of a bigger problem that he has got in the sense that what Donald Trump has been doing, in my view, has been telegraphing what his internal polling has been saying. His internal polling was saying you need to stay away from project 2025, so all Of A Sudden, he starts distancing himself there. His internal polling is saying we have got a large swath of voters who think that legalizing marijuana is a pretty good deal, regardless of what all your folks in congress say, say what democrats have been saying for a long time and that you are in favor of it. He is having trouble with his internal polling about abortion because he cant lose his base. He has trouble with the veterans and John Kellys comments about trump calling veterans and folks who died in Battle Suckers and losers. So, what does he do . He goes to arlington cemetery. That is what is being telegraphed here, stephanie, a strategy that is based strictly on some polling and some numbers that you see is that he has got to figure out what to do. I think that that is all a good sign for Kamala Harris, who is driving a campaign based on what her record is and what she believes, not just the internals. Do you think, stuart, she is going to respond to this . She has supported decriminalizing marijuana in the past. Does she need to respond and reiterate her support clearly . Yeah, sure, she will talk about it. The thing that i also look at is donations that Donald Trump is getting from those who are very invested in the marijuana business. I think theres going to be some Cause And Effect here. Look, Donald Trump, is on both sides of so many of these issues. I mean, within an hour, he reversed himself on what position he was going to take on the Abortion Referendum in florida. Its because there is nothing there, except this desire to be president , this desire to be in control, this desire to be out there as somebody who really wants to put themselves not as a servant of the people, but as some sort of strongman. So, he will Say Anything. He even said he is the guy at Closing Time who will Say Anything at the bar, so they dont go home alone. But of course, thats the one thing he doesnt do, drink. Doug, stuart, thank you for joining me tonight, great to see you both. When we returned, we are talking my language, Donald Trump those 100 terrace on countries who snub the u. S. Dollar. That is now fueling fears of Trade Wars that could tank the global economy, when the 11th Hour continues. [ music ].

They would descend into chaos. Merciless chaos. We have heard a lot lately from Vp Harris and former President Donald Trump about how they plan to boost the economy. But right now, i want you to listen to something Donald Trump said over the weekend. We will keep the u. S. Dollar as the Worlds Reserve Currency , many countries are leaving the dollar. They are not going to leave the dollar with me, i say you leave the dollar, you are not doing business with the united states, we are going to put 100 terrace on your goods. 100 terrace on countries leaving the u. S. Dollar. Sounds good, sounds tough. We are going to need to get into what that would really mean for the united states and i have brought in my old friend, the perfect person to discuss that with. Brandon, Contributing Editor at the New York Times. Scores of economists, professional investors have said it would be a complete disaster and i want to remind our audience what a tariff is, it is essentially a tax on consumers, inflation is already a problem for americans, can you explain why terrorists would make life a whole lot more expensive here . We buy a lot of things from abroad, so if you raise prices on things from abroad, youre going to raise prices on a lot of the things that we buy. But the other problem is Donald Trump has talked a lot over the last eight years, you and i have talked a lot about this over the last eight years, about encouraging american manufacturing. If we do that, one of the things you can do is raise tariffs, we dont buy things abroad, we buy them here. If you put up a 100 terrace barrier, the first thing that is going to happen is people are going to desperately be trying to produce things here that they cant get abroad, and that is going to [ inaudible ] there is no plan that sort of magically and awesomely makes things better with one single weIrd Trick, and thats what the terrorists are. They are this one Ird Trick that is going to make everything better. Then he said nothing about the dollar this afternoon and we can get into it. I have been trying to diagram on a piece of paper how it is going to work, i cant come up with the answer. I would say two things, the chips act and other moods by the biden administration are making moves to bring jobs back to the united states. Talking about our tariffs is great on our Rally Stage because it makes people feel like usa, usa, and those same people chanting usa, usa have six amazon boxes waiting for them outside their front door. When you actually think about how this works, its complicated, but what i keep hearing from some big Wall Street republicans is dont worry about the tariffs, Donald Trump is not being serious, its all talk, it will never happen. Why would anyone think it is not going to happen . The two things he has been saying for the last two years when it comes to policies are mass deportations and tariffs, so how on earth could anybody say, oh, its never going to happen . To his credit, he figured out during the election in 2016 that a lot of americans were angry about trade and they had not had a voice, so he said i am going to find a Trade War and he did exactly what you said he was going to do. I have a lot of issues that i have talked about over the years about exactly how he prosecuted that Trade War. The chinese really figured out that the easiest way to get to him was to say we are not going to buy any soybeans anymore, that is the only thing we really sell to china, turns out we grow those things in upper midwest, which trump needs politically. It is very difficult to go out there and say usa, usa, were going to fight a Trade War and win it, particularly the way he went about it. But the thing is he did do that. He said he was going to do it and he did do it, and he doesnt really seem interested in the niceties of how you manage the dollar. Look, the thing that i am wondering is does he want a strong dollar or does he want a weak dollar, because in 2017, Steve Mnuchin was then Treasury Secretary casually told a bunch of financiers that he was thinking about maybe lowering the value of the u. S. Dollar. Hold on, brendan, do you actually believe that Donald Trump knows the difference between what a strong dollar and a weak dollar even means . I am being dead serious, i know he likes the idea, we are going to have a strong dollar because it sounds strong, but lets actually talk monetary policy. Do you think he could get into it, honestly . I dont know about strong dollar, weak dollar. I have been shocked over the last eight years, anybody who deals in as much debt as Donald Trump does privately understands what drives the price of debt. I do think the incoherence we have about the strong dollar and the weak dollar, somebody is going to have to solve it. It is super awesome that when Wealthy Americans go on vacation abroad, they can buy things cheaply, but is really bad for american manufacturing. But this thing he is proposing, that aint it. You know what, that aint it is how we are going to end this segment. We do need to solve these issues with actual solutions. Brandon, great to see you.
