Pratique du Shadowing: Sen. Murphy vs. Trump's corruption | Today, Explained - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
So here's the thing about Donald Trump's blatant, sometimes open corruption.
2
If it's happening out in front of us, if it's largely been accepted by the public and seemingly the courts, is it even fair to call it corruption at all?
3
That was my first question to Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy at a recent forum about corporate monopolies
4
and corruption held by the American Economic Liberties Project in Washington, D .C.
5
That's this week on Today Explained Saturday.
6
Let's dig in.
7
Thank you to the American Economic Liberties Project.
8
Obviously, thank you to Senator Murphy for being here.
9
And thank you to you all, too, for being interested in this topic.
10
You know, when I think about corruption, particularly this bending the knee kind of framework, one thing that immediately jumps to mind for me is that,
11
you know, when we think about the Trump administration, this isn't happening in backroom deals.
12
This isn't happening in some secret basement a lot of these things are happening right in front of us.
13
So I guess my first question was, is corruption the right word to even use when it's been broadly sanctioned by legal and governmental entities?
14
Well, that's a good question to start with.
15
I guess I haven't really thought about it.
16
I think corruption is still a word that resonates.
17
I think people understand that corruption is a bad thing
18
that it is something that we have broadly tried to expunge from our politics.
19
And I do think that people generally understand corruption,
20
though, to be something that happens quietly behind closed doors.
21
Corruption is something you try to hide. And
22
so I do think the most important piece of this moment
23
in some ways is trying to understand what to do with the brazen public way that Trump is engaging in corruption,
24
because simply by the very fact that he does it every day, that he does it openly,
25
publicly, and proudly, it is causing some people to question, wait, wait, is this corruption?
26
Because this isn't what I learned corruption is.
27
There's no shame in this.
28
And generally, there's supposed to be shame in corruption.
29
But I don't necessarily know it means you change the word.
30
And I guess as I'm literally just thinking out loud, if you change the word, you're kind of ceding to his terms, right?
31
He's trying to change the very notion of corruption by doing it publicly.
32
And so if you call it something different, then I think you're probably playing his game.
33
You know, your corporate pardons report documents over 160 companies that have had federal enforcement actions dropped.
34
But as we know, corporate influence has been true in Washington for a long time.
35
You know, how do you think this is a qualitatively different moment than the usual pay -to -play
36
or the usual lobbying influence that we've seen?
37
Yeah, it's just so nakedly transactional right now.
38
And it's just a really easy story to explain,
39
you know, whether it's the donations that Boeing made that got them out of their trouble, whether it's the Toyota donations,
40
whether it's the money that Zelle pumped into the administration.
41
You know, it now doesn't happen through slowly putting money into the political system, slowly building up connections.
42
It's literally just a million dollars for a corporate pardon.
43
And that now happens, you know, within weeks or months.
44
It's put Eric Trump on your board.
45
The lawsuit or the enforcement action is dropped, right?
46
It's just so nakedly quick and transactional that it's hard to hide.
47
And again, it's that same problem.
48
It's so public, it's so transactional that to some people, it doesn't look like they're, you know, bread and butter of corruption.
49
But the story is just a lot easier to tell.
50
It doesn't make it any less forgivable.
51
The slow sort of building of influence in Democratic and Republican administrations is still unacceptable.
52
But in some ways, the way they're doing it makes it easy for us to explain.
53
What do you think is the impact of
54
that kind of flagrant degradation of the process or just doing it out in the open?
55
I mean, we've established kind of how different this moment feels in its in -your -face nature of it.
56
Does that have a democracy -corroding impact?
57
Like, what do you think is the consequence of its being in our face in this way?
58
Yeah, so I—listen, Trump takes over at a moment when a lot of Americans were seriously contemplating giving up on democracy.
59
And while that conversation may not be sort of on the surface of kitchen table talks in our country, it's right below the surface.
60
People just don't think that their voice matters.
61
any longer they for a long time have believed
62
that the elites get whatever they want out of the system
63
and the way in which trump has chosen to do this
64
so transparently i think is an effort to permanently shatter people's faith in the entire enterprise
65
so as to transition the country to a kleptocratic oligarchy and
66
so yes i think this is a particularly vulnerable moment for the country in
67
which a lot of Americans are unfortunately ready to just say, fuck it.
68
Like, this thing doesn't work any longer.
69
It now clearly doesn't work because we have an elected president who is just stealing from us.
70
I'm just going to walk away from the whole enterprise.
71
And when people give up, right, when people just retreat from public action, that's the moment that the oligarchs seize power and never give it up.
72
So, yes, the reason that I have been sort of raising the unacceptability of the corruption,
73
right, raising for people the fact that it is abnormal, that we should not normalize it,
74
is because I think Trump's core case here is in – and if he is successful in normalizing it,
75
it may be the death blow to people's faith in the entire democratic enterprise.
76
As you mentioned, kind of explicit examples, Donald Trump Jr. is a strategic advisor at Market Couchy.
77
He's joined the board of another prediction market.
78
Your Bets Off Act targets prediction markets banning bets on government actions, war, assassination.
79
But as we know, this kind of insider trading isn't a bug of these kind of things.
80
It's a feature.
81
And these companies have kind of built it into the cost.
82
Has the train left the station on these prediction markets?
83
Is there a way to rein them in as your Bets Off Act tries to do?
84
No, it definitely hasn't left the station.
85
And you're right.
86
I mean, these prediction markets are designed to make insiders and powerful people filthy rich.
87
So what the Bets Off Act essentially does is say anytime, first of all, you can't bet on government action, right?
88
Just period, stop, right?
89
Nobody should be able to make money off of war or famine.
90
You can't bet on government action.
91
But second, you also can't bet on an event where there is one person who controls and knows the outcome.
92
Because in almost every case where those bets are offered, you know, bets as benign as what a celebrity is going to say on the Jimmy Fallon show that night.
93
The bet is controlled by a powerful person,
94
meaning the powerful person and anyone who surrounds the powerful person knows the outcome of the bet,
95
can place wagers that they know will make money on the bet it's rigged
96
and only and always rigged in favor of the rich
97
and the powerful
98
so the prediction market game is really all about bets where powerful people know the outcome
99
and can profit and that's why eric trump
100
and donald trump are you know deeply integrated into these industries
101
because they and their friends are the ones
102
that profit they are the ones very likely
103
that placed those bets on friday before the iran war started
104
that the war was going to start 24 hours later
105
and they see an infinite amount of enrichment
106
that comes from these these markets now here's where your question is an interesting one right
107
and i literally got it two or three times yesterday is it too late like
108
and of course it's not too late
109
but people i feel kind of baked into the culture baked in this yeah
110
but it but it doesn't but
111
but people people are beginning to smell how corrupt these markets
112
are like a lot of people do know what happened with those iraq war bets
113
and here's where i just think the democratic party um perpetually suffers from lack of imagination right
114
so we should say that if you elect us we are going to take all these corrupt prediction markets down.
115
Now, whether we can or not, right, that's a question of the politics of the moment.
116
But we should promise that we are going to eliminate corrupt prediction markets the minute you elect us, just like we should be saying to the broader case of the work that this organization does.
117
If Democrats are elected, we are going to break up all these big, corrupt, monopolistic media companies that have been constructed under Donald Trump's regime.
118
We should just say like, okay, Paramount, enjoy this well you have it because as soon as we get elected,
119
we're going to break you into pieces, right?
120
And people would respond to that boldness of vision when it comes to antitrust.
121
And I think they would respond to that boldness of vision
122
when it comes to the most corrupt new ways that people in and around the president are profiting, like the prediction markets.
123
People will definitely respond.
124
I guess my question is, there is some form of a conflation between the overcorruption we were talking about in the beginning and something like corporate consolidation,
125
or do you see those as kind of a one in the same when we're talking about these monopolistic media companies?
126
Yeah, it's all part of the same story.
127
The only way that Paramount Skydance gets to be as big and as corrupt and as manipulative as it is,
128
is because of corruption, because of an underlying deal that is done between the Ellison family and the Trump family.
129
I mean, Hegseth literally says it on stage, right?
130
I can't wait until my friends, the Ellisons, get control of CNN because then you'll stop telling the truth about the war.
131
The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.
132
Like, that's literally what he says on stage is that I don't like the criticism that we're getting,
133
but it's cool because pretty soon my buddies will be in charge of the storytelling.
134
So, no, it's all part of one story.
135
And again, back to how you message this.
136
Yes, I understand that it's a hard thing to break up that corrupt consolidation.
137
Yes, I understand that by the time we get control of things here, the prediction markets will be even more mature.
138
But by stating what you are going to do, you can actually bend reality, right?
139
By being bold in your claims about what you will do with power,
140
people start signing up for the project.
141
Not just people out in the public, but members of Congress, right, start signing up for the project the bolder it is.
142
So, yes, those are hard things to unwind, but they become less hard if you state very clearly at the outset about what your intentions are.
143
To this point, you signed a memo with Senators Schiff, Warren, and Smith that argues that Democrats can't run on affordability without naming the corporations and the billionaires driving the crisis.
144
I guess I wanted to ask about that with the context of what the Democratic Party's history has been in mind.
145
You know, there's close relationships between the Democratic Party and some of these, let's say, Silicon Valley money or tech money.
146
There's close relationships between Democrats and folks in big law.
147
Are those relationships an impediment for Democrats doing that clear naming and shaming that you're talking about?
148
Absolutely.
149
I mean, like, absolutely.
150
So what did we do last year?
151
We passed a bill essentially greenlighting the massive expansion of the crypto industry and corruption inside the crypto industry with Democratic votes.
152
The Stablecoin Act, the Genius Act, which has like a modicum of consumer protections,
153
literally has in it a carve out from ethics rules for
154
the president of the United States to be able to issue his own cryptocurrency.
155
Like, that's incredible that the Democratic Party signed off on a crypto regulatory bill that greenlights Donald Trump's corruption scheme.
156
There's no explanation for why we did
157
that other than the integration of parts of our party and very powerful people in the crypto industry.
158
Or maybe more charitably, our fear
159
that the crypto industry is going to spend a ton of money against Democrats in the next election
160
if we don't do what they want.
161
But that's, you know, just a slightly more acceptable form of corruption, right?
162
Just the I'm going to do what you want because I fear
163
that there's going to be political consequences in the next election.
164
So, yeah, the memo that Adam and Elizabeth and Tina and I sent says very simply,
165
you're not going to win over the public unless you tell a story about corporate
166
and billionaire corruption because people are smarter than a lot of us think they are.
167
People understand that the corruption of the economy, right, their stagnation in their economic lives is derivative,
168
is downstream of the corruption of our politics.
169
Like, they get that.
170
And if you don't tell that full story, the influence that the corporations and the billionaires have in our politics and how that has limited your economic opportunities,
171
your message is just not believable.
172
If you just, like, start with, let's trim the sales of the way that the pharmaceutical companies price drugs,
173
it's like you're not telling me the whole story.
174
Like, the real story is that we got into this mess with prescription drug prices that are so high.
175
because our politics is corrupt.
176
And the prescription drug companies have way too much control over Washington.
177
So don't just tell me your plan for lowering prescription drug costs.
178
Tell me your plan for knocking out the prescription drug industry's power in Washington.
179
Like, I need to know both things.
180
I mean, that really rings true from, you know, even my some experience on the road.
181
I mean, oftentimes leading up to 2024,
182
things like corporate capture or corporate consolidation or things I heard even more Trump supporters or RFK supporters sometimes talking about, and not necessarily coming from Democrats.
183
What took so long to name this, to name something that feels like it's been in the populist air for a while?
184
I mean, listen, I think inside the Democratic Party,
185
there is an enormous hangover from Barack Obama.
186
And I mean this – I'm going to do this in a complementary way to Obama, right?
187
So Obama lifted our party, right, into power.
188
And we did really important things with him.
189
He did not use this frame for the world,
190
right, a frame of corporate capture and an agenda of release from that capture.
191
He was more technocratic, right?
192
More market -based in his reforms.
193
And we got away with that as a Democratic Party because of the unique talent of Barack Obama as a messenger.
194
He was just somebody
195
that we were never going to reproduce in our party as someone who just made folks feel better about government
196
because he was in charge.
197
And what it exposed, though,
198
in his absence is a lack of a narrative that the Democratic Party tells about who has power,
199
who doesn't have power, and how we're going to fix that. And
200
so I do think our reliance on Barack Obama as kind
201
of a savior for the party's messaging exposed us as not having a coherent underlying message
202
when we didn't have a uniquely talented political figure at the top.
203
Makes sense.
204
I'm going to end on a question about people's own kind of emotions in this moment.
205
I think the scope of Trump's corruption can feel disempowering.
206
The administration seems immune to public opinion at many times, undeterred by legal and kind of institutional restraints.
207
And it feels like, you know, we're kind of strapped in the beginning of a roller coaster that, you know, you don't know where it ends. Is that true?
208
Like, do we have our constraints coming?
209
Is moderation coming or is it just a matter of like, you know, fingers crossed?
210
Yeah, I think it's, again, I think it's only coming if the Democratic Party, as we head into this election,
211
the 2020 election, makes the unrigging of our democracy a tentpole for our party's messaging, right?
212
If it's up to me, our party's message is unrigging the democracy, unrigging the economy, kind of period stop, right?
213
And if you're like signed up for those two projects
214
and we got to fill out what that means to unrig the democracy, it probably means that we're running on a constitutional amendment to get dark money
215
and billionaire money and anonymous money completely out of politics.
216
But like people are up for that.
217
And I guess I'll end here because you are right that people are feeling super discouraged and super powerless right now. And
218
so we as a party have to sort of start our
219
analysis of what this moment needs through a diagnosis of the way that people are feeling.
220
And people are feeling like they have no agency, like they have no control.
221
So both our economic and political messaging has to be about returning control to human beings and explaining to them, as we've talked about a few times,
222
that it goes both ways the corruption of our economy is downstream of the corruption of our democracy,
223
but also, and I'll try to say this the right way to end, the corruption of our democracy is also downstream of the corruption of our economy in this way.
224
When our economy is an economy that only cares about profit and efficiency, it's a virtuous economy.
225
It's an economy where morality doesn't matter where the health of workers
226
or the health of communities is just irrelevant to economic decision
227
making it becomes this just winner take all economy in which the folks who do well just
228
grab it all and we've normalized that because we've normalized the idea
229
that that that sort of shared prosperity is not a value any longer in our economy okay
230
when that becomes normalized inside our economy, it becomes normalized inside our politics too.
231
Our politics becomes winner take all politics.
232
So if a CEO is justified in making a thousand times more than the average worker and using his power as CEO.
233
to abuse workers in order to enrich himself, and that's okay, then why is it wrong for a president of the United
234
States to use his power to abuse the people under his authority
235
and enrich himself maximally in the same way that a CEO would?
236
So when we normalize zero virtue in our economy, it's really easy to say, well, maybe virtue shouldn't matter in our politics either.
237
And so that's why the project is so big, right?
238
There's cross currents between what has happened in our economy affecting our politics, what's happened in our politics affecting our economy,
239
which is why your willingness to confront this question of corruption in government
240
and in our economy and recognizing how they flow back and forth, I just think is so critical and why I was So I'm glad to help kick this off today.
241
Well, Senator Murphy, thank you for coming.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
