Chris Hayes: ‘Now Is the Time to Break Glass, It’s Not the Time for Politics as Usual’

EXCERPT:

HAYES: "Again, Senator Schumer understands political strategy and he’s right about that history, and he’s right that that type of resistance did work eight years ago. And in many ways, you know, that first Trump Administration politically was a failure. I mean, it got a huge tax cut to billionaires -- surprise, surprise — and corporations. But again, just when you are paying as close attention as we are here on this program, here at the network, and I think a lot of you watching at home, it just does seem that now is the time for — to break glass, right? It’s not the time for politics as usual. I mean, first of all, Trump is already underwater for the first time in his career on the question of the economy, which is interesting and I think welcome news both for Democrats and those opposed to what he’s doing. I mean, the state of the stock market amid Trump’s trade war is doing a pretty good job of messaging pocketbook issues itself, along with the tariffs that are coming April 2nd. But more importantly, I would say you don’t have to choose — I strongly believe this: It’s all one thing. It’s all one thing. The threat to democracy has become so much more tangible than it was when folks went to the ballot four months ago, in part because this entire mad king act is wreaking havoc in every direction.”
