Kimmel: Adam Schiff on Trump Leading with Fear, Putin Playing Him & The State of the Democratic Party



Senator Adam Schiff talks about visiting areas affected by the fires in LA, proving that California Democratic leaders can get things done, Trump “opening the spigot,” how quickly the new administration has created an atmosphere of fear, cutting millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks, whether Trump is intentionally tanking the economy, alienating the Canadians, the rift in the Democratic Party, Chuck Schumer and ten Senators voting with the GOP, the Supreme Court giving Trump the idea that he can break the law with immunity, Elon Musk donating to House members who support impeaching a judge who ruled against Trump, meeting Elon Musk, how Putin is playing Trump, the idea that the United States would abandon Ukraine, desperately needing someone like John McCain in the Senate right now, and Jimmy gives Adam an early birthday gift.

.......ends with Schiff opining "we could use a John McCain right now", because McCain would be on the Senate floor DAILY trashing republicans for their sickening support of Russia over Ukraine - I didn't agree with McCain on a lot but I believe that is exactly what he would be doing.

RECOMMENDED

...musk was not snubbed by Biden from a meeting of electric car makers, the meeting in question was specifically for car makers whose cars produce tail-pipe emissions (CO2) in a bid by Biden to explain to them how and why his actions will improve their businesses if they reduce those emissions.

musk's cars do not produce tail-pipe emissions, and so there was no reason for him to be invited.

and he looked as relaxed and confident as I've ever seen him. He's FIFTY times the man Trump is and that's why the Orange Monster disparrages him so viciously and always has.

Trump is jealous of his AUTHENTIC strength.
