This is one of the worst interviews I’ve ever seen. Moran keeps trying to move on from a point Trump is CLEARLY WRONG ON and just says “agree to disagree.” Do your fucking job!

REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies? LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

If I see masked men with no badges trying to abduct somebody, of course I am going to get in their way. That's called being a good samaritan. There is no reason for secret police in a democratic society and in the long run we need to rollback the normalization of these tactics in law enforcement.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

a friendly reminder never to buy your books from Amazon, where they are used as a loss leader so that you'll buy a flatscreen TV and your toilet paper instead-- and then use that money to send Katy Perry to space. Books aren't just products. They're culture. Buy them from those who understand that.
