A Preview Of President Musk? - The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich
Friends,
Today we explore how and why the United States government nearly shut down under the auspices of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Speaker Michael Johnson, and rightwing Republicans in the House.
Is this a preview of the chaos we’re likely to see over the next four years? Why does an unelected multi-billionaire have so much power? Will Johnson survive? Why does Trump insist on raising the debt ceiling? Whatever happened to the Biden administration, which is still technically in office?
Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, take our poll, and join in the conversation. - 12/21/2024.
