Trump knows the stock market will fall when he announces tariffs. He knows that it will go back up when he backs off on tariffs.

His buddies are likely heavily investing in the stock market when they know this is going to happen.

He’s done this before. I wish someone would look into what goes on behind the scenes.

I hope Canada does not have any "carve outs". Don't stop until he stops completely. Proud of Canada and Mexico!

My understanding is that neither Canada nor Mexico will budge. Let's hope that's the case.

Some of us did not watch the buffoon last night.

I still haven't seen any of it, thank gravy! But I've def heard. And it's about on par w what I expected. Will still not watch any clips unless the clips are of Al Green walking out. 😂

I was not going listen to his lie after lie after lie. If I wanted to do that, I'd tune in to Fox News.

Got to watched the live show today. Thank you Jim for another great show.

Trump needs to resign. Someone with a serious backbone needs to force him to resign. They need to get him on a one-way plane ride to Russia. They have golf courses and McDonalds in Russia so he'll be just fine... JD and Elon need to get on that plane with him and stay there. I did not watch his speech last night, so this morning I began reading and watching reputable journalists' coverage until I could not. Trump spoke no truth, had no integrity nor decency. He can fantasize about God saving his life so he could "Make America Great Again," but in truth, God cried for America last night.

99 minutes? Glad I read a book instead of watching.

I could not watch either. His lies are unbearable.

I think the question -- that no one seems to be answering -- is what should the Democratic leadership do? This is part of the problem of the Democrats, there is always a lot of criticism about what not to do but very little on what to do. And frankly, I am pretty sick of James Carville. He is like a dinosaur. What about young people

You are so right in your comment. Where are the young leaders like AOC. The leadership is so lacking in the Democratic Party.

We all need to hit the streets.

The Democrats need to be a united front. The so-called centrist types need to get over themselves, bite the hand that feeds them and get on the progressive bandwagon with Bernie Sanders. These old and older neo-liberal types need to take many a lesson from AOC, one of the main ones being to NOT take money from the obscenely wealthy.

They must take this opportunity to hold town halls in red states and deep red counties. Allow the people to air their grievances and use that time in letting them know what you as the governmental minority can and cannot do and plainly make it clear you are not only listening but make them feel heard....make all of use feel heard. Talk about what you all will do if democrats take back part or all of the branches...this is of course hoping against odds that we'll have honest and fair elections going forward.

I so wish Congressman John Lewis was still around.

Yes, oh how I admired John Lewis.

The U.S. House of Representatives holds a narrow Republican majority, with 219 Republicans to 213 Democrats, and three seats are currently vacant. These vacancies—two in Florida and one in New York—present pivotal opportunities that could potentially shift the balance of power in the House.

I am not willing to wait for the midterms. Focus on the special elections - support any way you can!

Al Green filing articles of impeachment - bless you Al Green!

I have to remind you that MAGAs are all set to steal the next election through their SAVE ACT, getting minorities off the rolls, throwing out paper ballots, and intimidation at the polls--in other words, they will literally do anything they can to stop Democrats from winning another election. We need to stop being so nice.

Biden was older but he was not insane and demented like Trump is.

That’s for sure!

The sudden announcement of "exemptions" in the tariffs is just more evidence of the incompetence & lack of foresight in this odious regime.

He does things that sound great in his head and captures attention, but doesn't care about the consequences of his actions.

April, I’m next door in West Chester, PA. We are out to stop this treasonous assault.

His MAGAs have no idea that these cuts will affect them as well as Democrats. They still don't know that Trump is and will continue to screw them royally. Musk has called these people parasites as he gets billions in tax breaks from these so-called "parasites." What a sick society we have. Instead of making us great again, they're absolutely destroying us.

We want to fight!

Excellent interviews today!! So insightful and encouraging!

Jim, I loved the interviews. April is golden. Please have her back as often as you can. I think that the Democrats need an influx of younger Representatives and Senators. The older ones can mentor them, but we need some people representing us who have enough energy to really take on this MAGA crowd. There are no real Republicans left. All that are left are pure MAGA or cowards.
