Explosive allegations that Trump and Musk are running a scheme with the tariffs. Representative Greg Cesar just called for a massive corruption probe into what he calls a really serious allegation that Trump and Musk ran a tariff scam where countries dodged tariffs by signing contracts with Musk's companies. Now it's all starting to make sense. Listen to this.

Representative Greg Cesar (0:32)

Musk continues to find ways to enrich himself while he was virtually running the White House and is still deeply involved in the Trump administration. In breaking news, myself and Representative Gave Amo and then also Senator Chris Murphy have called for an investigation into these allegations that are really serious. But this whole tariff scam has not been about bringing American jobs home. But instead, what Trump has been doing is threatening massive tariffs on countries. And then reporting and leaks have started coming out that these countries are then opening up to Musk's companies and signing contracts or looking at contracts with Starlink as a way of getting out from underneath these tariffs. You could be paying thousands of dollars more a year in your consumer goods because of these tariffs. All so that Trump can basically extort countries to do business with his buddy, Elon Musk. That bottom the presidency, that is the core of corruption. That is the definition of kleptocracy. And so we need to become a Democratic Party that is anti billionaire, anti corruption and pro worker, finally pass a ban on stock trading by members of Congress, make it illegal for presidents to accept things like a $400 million jumbo jet from a foreign government and say, no, you cannot be a billionaire with contracts with the federal government and then be running the federal government at the same time. That is okay.

Unknown Speaker (2:08)

This is okay. First and foremost, this makes so much sense because the tariffs are so harebrained, they're so squirrely. And if you notice, right when Trump was inaugurated, Musk was so excited, everybody he knows, he finally got to come out of the closet as a Nazi. But he immediately went in, shut down investigations into himself, rewarded himself contracts, but that's not enough because he wants global dominance. Elon Musk does. There was reporting back that he thought that his spirit was that of an old Roman King or something. I mean, this guy is just like delusions of grandeur. I mean, like a real nutcase. We know Trump is a real nutcase, too. And so he's helping him do this. And all of this still, I think, leads to Putin as well, because both of them are severely compromised by Putin. But the Trump administration has fired, and the Supreme Court even said yesterday, yeah, it's okay to fire whoever you want. And so the, the MAGA movement is surrounded by a lot of enablers, a lot of enablers who are selling out the American public, who are draining all of the systems that held American power, the economy, the military, our espionage, making sure that nefarious governments are not spying on us. They've just let all of that go. And all of this is because Musk and Trump want to be like kings of the world. And they are obviously facing some friction. And so we're going to be sitting back here with some popcorn, but I believe what this congressman said. I think Musk is still knee deep in with the Trump administration. I think that there have been reports that have come out that said Trump is done with Musk. And it's because the shareholders at Tesla are saying, you've got to quit being in the news for doing bad shit with Trump. And I think he's still knee deep in. You noticed him on the Middle, Middle east tour. Middle east circle jerk. But here's Trump again. And I want to. I cannot emphasize enough that people who, in my personal life, who would call themselves moderates that voted for Trump, justified it by saying that he's good for the economy, that they like Republican policies. And this has been a myth that has been so successful by the Republican Party starting in the Reagan era to now that so many people have been indoctrinated to think that by not taxing billionaires, that wealth trickles down. And it doesn't. So here is Mr. Free Markets, Mr. Let the Free Markets Run. Here he is at like 4am this morning at real Donald Trump. And I will never get over it. That's the President of the United States Twitter handle. But I digress. I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhones that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India or anyplace else. If that is not the case, a tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. thank you for your attention to this matter. Timestamp 4:19am that's psychotic. Next slide. How much would an iPhone cost if Apple were forced to make it in America in the $30,000 to $100,000 range? And no, that is not a typo. In fact, if Apple were forced to solely manufacture the iPhone in America, there is a good argument that it would not be able to manufacture any at all. And if they could somehow successfully make the manufacturing, trans capacity would likely be constrained to just a few million units a year. So what is all of this about? Why are we on a 4am bender attacking Tim Cook? Well, it's been reported that, you know, Trump had his crypto bribery dinner last night, that Tim Cook didn't pay, he didn't play, and he didn't show up. So Trump starts all of these crazy ass tweets. Another tweet that I'll spare you guys from reading is he is now attacking the EU and he is calling for a 50% tariff with the EU. I'm just going to speculate here, but I guarantee you what happened is last night he's grandstanding with all of the foreign corrupt nationals that are bribing him through his meme coin. And I guarantee you he said, I can make the markets jump. I can make. I can. Y' all can make a bunch of money. Watch this. In the morning, I'm going to pick a fight with these people and their stocks are going to go down. And then I'll give you the heads up as to when I'm going to reverse. And then y' all can pump and dump and make a lot of money. That's what they're all doing. Meanwhile, the American economy is being drained from every stabilizing force in it. Our American military is now turned into a megachurch. Pete Hegseth is over there having prayer groups at the Pentagon. How that makes us safer is beyond me. All right, next up, we have Chris Murphy.
