“American oligarchs!” Stephanie Ruhle from MSNBC with John Fetterman via Trump helps rich allies

Stephanie Ruhle: “What about this idea that we create American oligarchs?”

John Fetterman: Yes, and I would only ask the Democrats to talk like a regular person. Most people are not sure what an oligarch is. Do you know, it’s okay, is an oligarch? Is it like a rich type or a rich woman? Okay, well, but there is also a little secret. Democrats, you know we like billionaires if you give our reasons or our party. “

Ruhle: “But there is a difference. Wait, there is a difference between a very wealthy donor – “

Fetterman: “But it’s unlimited money. That is the poison of American democracy. Get rid of unlimited money and then the billionaire would make things like that on both sides. So remember that many of these billionaires, who were technically, were also friendly to democratic interests in our party. But unlimited money, they remove that, and that would change America more than any other decision. “

Ruhle: “Absolutely. We are 15 years and two months since the Citizens United decision, and it apparently changed politics forever. However, there is a difference between very wealthy political donors and very wealthy people in the government who make decisions that could possibly enrich themselves and their business. Take a look at Elon Musk, he has not sold himself from his shops and he is a guy with government contracts worth 38 billion US dollars. This is different from a democratic donor who has the president’s ear or at least his telephone number. “

Fetterman: “I would say that sometimes, as you know, sometimes when you are absolutely motivated on money when you know that most of these people, whether bezos or musk, have far more than you can spend in 100 lives. I think I think the scarcity defines luxury. That is why many of them want to deal with it because they have unlimited money. I think they only want to be part of the other conversation. “

Ruhle: So do you think Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, are you there for old Truistic reasons? Are you not there to help your shops or yourself? “

Fetterman: “What I’m saying is it a sensible difference to be worth 100 billion US dollars, $ 150 billion or $ 200 billion? I mean, I don’t think it really means a lot for many of them because one day they could be up to 20 billion US dollars or by 50 or whatever. They just continue. The same applies to Zuckerberg. “
