Republican Senators Freak Out As Trump's Tariffs Threaten To Destroy Their States

Farron Cousins Season 1 Episode 385

Republican senators are freaking out and trying to warn Donald Trump that his tariffs are going to hit red states - THEIR states - the hardest. Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota said that the thought of the tariffs is giving him "heartburn" because he knows how devastating that is going to be on the agriculture industry in his state. But this is what they all supported, and it is hard to have sympathy for them at this point.


The Trump administration has sent out a memo ordering senior FBI officials to quit, retire, or otherwise resign or else they will all be fired on Monday. This is straight out of the Project 2025 playbook, which Trump adamantly denied he would be implementing upon taking office. Yet here we are, and nearly every single order Trump has given mirrors the plans laid out in Project 2025.


 In a post on Truth Social this past week, Donald Trump announced that "very soon" he would be dismantling the public education system in the country and "returning it to the states." This is a disaster waiting to happen, as most states don't even come close to having enough money to fund public education, and if they are given discretion with federal money, it will go to other projects instead. Farron explains the likely outcome of Trump's pending moves.
