Julian Castro: Trump Agenda Is Going To Be ‘Pro-Billionaire, Billionaires First Agenda’

MENENDEZ And Julian Castro ░░░░░░░░ the point that Susan ░░░░░░░░ Percio made about the ░░░░░░░░ that a lot of ░░░░░░░░ proclamations come from you ░░░░░░░░ whoever was in his ░░░░░░░░ last it puts Democrats ░░░░░░░░ ve watched it put ░░░░░░░░ in a tricky spot ░░░░░░░░ they have to decide ░░░░░░░░ they respond to They ░░░░░░░░ to decide what bait ░░░░░░░░ is that they take ░░░░░░░░ they have to be ░░░░░░░░ clear about who it ░░░░░░░░ that they are advocating ░░░░░░░░ right So like I ░░░░░░░░ about all of these ░░░░░░░░ around DOGE You don ░░░░░░░░ want to be the ░░░░░░░░ defending bureaucracy That isn ░░░░░░░░ the winning message You ░░░░░░░░ to be the ones ░░░░░░░░ you know the services ░░░░░░░░ government provides the way ░░░░░░░░ which American lives benefit ░░░░░░░░ the U S government ░░░░░░░░ you see once again ░░░░░░░░ tricky dance that Democrats ░░░░░░░░ themselves in CASTRO Well ░░░░░░░░ really is Alicia And ░░░░░░░░ I mean one thing ░░░░░░░░ clear two things are ░░░░░░░░ in my mind First ░░░░░░░░ all that Trump knows ░░░░░░░░ he s doing more ░░░░░░░░ as he enters his ░░░░░░░░ term than he did ░░░░░░░░ years ago when he ░░░░░░░░ preparing to enter his ░░░░░░░░ term And secondly he ░░░░░░░░ going to do everything ░░░░░░░░ he can to repeal ░░░░░░░░ administrative progress that the ░░░░░░░░ Administration has made on ░░░░░░░░ whole range of issues ░░░░░░░░ it s pro environment ░░░░░░░░ our immigration system making ░░░░░░░░ more fair humane protecting ░░░░░░░░ with disabilities you name ░░░░░░░░ along a series of ░░░░░░░░ issues On day one ░░░░░░░░ are going to immediately ░░░░░░░░ think try and roll ░░░░░░░░ what the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ done where they can ░░░░░░░░ far they ll get ░░░░░░░░ that whether they ll ░░░░░░░░ up over some you ░░░░░░░░ policies or laws that ░░░░░░░░ have to follow that ░░░░░░░░ don t end up ░░░░░░░░ that will bite them ░░░░░░░░ in court we ll ░░░░░░░░ But they will try ░░░░░░░░ It is going to ░░░░░░░░ important for Democrats though ░░░░░░░░ have a strategy on ░░░░░░░░ and on which pitches ░░░░░░░░ re going to swing ░░░░░░░░ And I think you ░░░░░░░░ really the Trump crowd ░░░░░░░░ Democrats a gift because ░░░░░░░░ Musk and these other ░░░░░░░░ are so at the ░░░░░░░░ of shaping what looks ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ their policy approach and ░░░░░░░░ politics of it This ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ billionaire billionaires first agenda ░░░░░░░░ Democrats have an opportunity ░░░░░░░░ the ACA subsidies come ░░░░░░░░ when the Trump tax ░░░░░░░░ renewal comes up to ░░░░░░░░ that I think that ░░░░░░░░ going to resonate with ░░░░░░░░ American people And if ░░░░░░░░ stick with that messaging ░░░░░░░░ think that s going ░░░░░░░░ be good for Democrats.”
