Invisible armies. And steven moore, senior Economic Advisor to the trump campaign. We have a lot to talk about tonight. Weve just passed the six month in office. And you write this. You say trump would have a lot more success if he acted a little more president ial in the oldfashioned sense but that is something he is evidently incapable of doing no matter how long he stays in office. So max what pushed you to write those words this week and do you think the white house is in chaos . Its pretty obvious the white house has been in chaos since day one and has been that way. I wrote those words in response to the incredibly inappropriate speech. And he began with an incredibly inappropriate speech to the cia in front of the wall honoring cia officers who have died in the line of duty. People are saying thats just trump beginning his presidency he doesnt know what hes doing. Hell learn. Its six months in and he gave that inappropriate speech to the boy scouts, bragging about his political
Your car into your driveway, park your car, get out of your car and you then see a guy jogging down your road. Pretty good pace. Running past your house and think okay, no big deal then a few seconds later, you see two fairly burly dudes running after that guy, chasing them as fast as they can, and from what you can tell, youre not totally sure but kind of looks like those guys doing the chasing maybe have guns. Now in this hypothetical instance, you decide youre not going to be a by stander to the chase scene, you decide youre going to intervene, and so you get back in your car, start the engine, throw it in reverse and back your car out. You back your car out, so it blocks the road. You block the two burly guys chasing the other guy. You physically stop them in the street and those guys stop because they have to but they are really mad at you because you stopped them, and then they tell you that they are cops. And that is why they, in fact, have funs, and they show you their badges a
Going to be just a bystand ear to this chase scene. You decide that youre going to intervene. And so, you get back in your car, start the engine, throw it in reverse and back your car out. You back your car out so it blocks the road. You block the two burly guys who were chasing the other guy. You physically stop them in the street and those guys stop because they have to but they are really mad at you because you stopped them, and then they tell you that they are cops. And that is why they, in fact, have guns, and they show you their badges and theyre real badges and they tell you in no Uncertain Terms the reason they were running so fast down your street is because they were chasing a guy and the guy they were chasing just robbed a bank. You say, oh, no, oh, dear, sorry, officers. You get back into your car and throw it into gear and clear the road and they resume their pursuit. Very mad at you. Now, if you had no idea they were cops, no idea of any of this. If this was an innocent m
Not really about any Government Spending or anything that would actually produce any infrastructure at all. And so im kind of eager to get to infrastructure week. I have a funny feeling we never will. I have a funny feeling the rhythm of this isnt going to allow us to get there. It stands in for this idea that the Trump Administration is eager to work on policy issues, particularly those on which there might be areas of agreement with democrats. Like, its a its a little avatar that means that. And they dont mean any of that, and so they just pop the avatar up there whenever they want you to stop talking about whatever else is actually going on in the administration. But its like this little kind of puppet that they take out whenever they want to seem like there is somebody who theyre not. Yeah, as far as i can tell so far, theres not one sentence of agreement on what infrastructure legislation would be between democrats and donald trump. Absolutely. Yeah. Thank you very much, rachel. T
Yeah. Sorry about the makeup on the collar. So if we ever if we ever get to infrastructure week uhhuh. Its going to be really interesting. Because it isnt about infrastructure. Its all about the trump version of this, of course, is all about really big tax breaks to pavement companies. To companies that are in the roadbuilding business, and its not really about any Government Spending or anything that would actually produce any infrastructure at all. And so im kind of eager to get to infrastructure week. I have a funny feeling we never will. I have a funny feeling the rhythm of this isnt going to allow us to get there. It stands in for this idea that the Trump Administration is eager to work on policy issues, particularly those on which there might be areas of agreement with democrats.
