Rep. Jasmine Crockett talks with Alex Wagner about Elon Musk acting as a shadow president in leading Donald Trump to oppose Speaker Mike Johnson's budget bill and increasing the likelihood of a federal government shutdown.

Democrats are stepping back from bailing Johnson out of what is seen as a preview of the chaos Trump will bring to government operations as the infighting Republican majority is unable to govern. - Aired on 12/18/2024.

but we need a few "old bulls" like raskin as well.

why does trump need to raise the debt ceiling?

won't "the tax cuts pay for themselves?"

how about those "beautiful beautiful tariffs? " isn't the 51st state going to pay the debt?

or the bitcoin reserve?

oh well, whatever happens he will blame it on us....
