Description

“Nobody will ever trust us. In eight weeks, he’s destroyed 80 years of reputation that America built.” Rahm Emanuel, former ambassador to Japan under Biden and a current advisor at investment-banking firm Centerview Partners, joins Jon Stewart to talk about the United States’ international trade predicament in the wake of Trump’s tariffs. They discuss why it’s one of the most “reckless” things done by a president, why he thinks these policies gave China a “get-out-of-jail-free” card, his experience under the Obama administration, and why he believes a Democratic governor could be the one to turn the party around. #DailyShow #JonStewart #Tariffs Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Not holding any of the bankers responsible after the 2008 crash was a slap in the face to the country.

He said he would stop war in 24 hrs; then both Zelensky and Putin told him go fly a kite. So he turned to tariffs..one failure to next..

This interview is such a representation of the split in the democratic party. The ones who understand the American people and the severity of the issues, and the ones who are soft conservatives and are scared of losing corporate sponsorships.

As a Chicago Democrat, politicans like Rahm are why we keep snatching defeat from the jaws of victory🤣

Rahm E. here fought hard against the CARE act and tried to keep vision and dental out of the final draft. I think he fought the public option too. He's a Wallstreet stooge.

This guy was a spineless bully when he was mayor of Chicago, acting tough against groups who had zero ability to fight back and then running from every fight businesses or interest groups that wouldn’t immediately roll over.
