"An exceptionally brilliant portrait of how politics pulled America, kicking and screaming, into 2025 by one of the best, toughest and non-partisan reporters the United States is so very fortunate to have."
- Bob Woodward on “Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign that Changed America”
ABC’s Jonathan Karl put Zohran Mamdani on the spot over his praise for the “warmth of collectivism.”
KARL: “And ‘the warmth of collectivism’, I mean, a lot of people associate collectivism with Stalin’s Russia, with Mao’s China. There’s a negative connotation, historic context.”
MAMDANI: “That’s not at all what it’s intended…”
KARL: “But, I mean, when you use that phrase, do you think of that connotation at all or worried that people will…?”
MAMDANI: “My intention was to speak about how this isn’t a movement of an individual, it’s a movement of a collectiv, and it’s through that collective that we have been able to weather the storms.”
“It’s through that collective we will be able to deliver. It’s one of New York City delivering for New Yorkers.”
Scott Bessent refused to accept ABC’s “trade war” framing — and he made that clear in seconds.
When Jonathan Karl suggested President Trump was picking a fight with Canada, Bessent flipped the script and pointed straight at Prime Minister Mark Carney’s China problem.
KARL: “Why is Donald Trump threatening Canada with another trade war?”
BESSENT: “Prime minister carney came back, dropped some industry specific tariffs on Chinese goods and we have a highly integrated market with Canada.”
“He dropped the EV tariff from 100% to 6%, goods can cross the border during the manufacturing process six times.”
“We can’t let Canada become an opening that the Chinese pour cheap goods into the U.S.”
“We have a USMCA agreement, but based on that, which is renegotiated this summer, and I’m not sure what Prime Minister Carney is doing here, other than trying to virtue signal to his globalist friends at Davos, I don’t think he is doing the best job for the Canadian people.”
