'Trump is afraid': MSNBC panel reacts to reported Trump-Musk meeting

TRUMP COMING CLOSE TO RUNNING

THE TABLE ON THE PRIMARY

CONTEST THUS FAR, ALTHOUGH DC

AND VERMONT AND DON'T FORGET.

WE ARE INCHING CLOSER TO A

GENERAL ELECTION REMATCH

BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JOE

BIDEN BUT IN TERMS OF

FUNDRAISING, THE DEMOCRATS

CURRENTLY HAVE A FINANCIAL

ADVANTAGE OVER THE REPUBLICANS.

JOE BIDEN STARTED OFF THE YEAR

WITH $46 MILLION COMPARED TO

TRUMP'S $33 MILLION.

PERHAPS THAT IMBALANCE WON'T

LAST LONG.

BUT HERE IS A SCOOP TONIGHT

WITH THE HEADLINE OF DONALD

TRUMP SEEKING CASH INFUSION

MEETS WITH ELON MUSK.

THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTING

THAT DONALD TRUMP MET WITH ELON

MUSK AND ALSO IF YOU HAVE

WEALTHY REPUBLICAN DONORS

SEEKING A CASH INFUSION, THIS

CAMPAIGN WAS WITHIN THE LAST

FEW DAYS REPORTEDLY OVER THE

WEEKEND AND ACCORDING TO THE

TIMES TRUMP IS NOW HOPING TO

HAVE A ONE-ON-ONE MEETING JUST

WITH ELON MUSK.

AND REPORTEDLY HE HAS SAID HE BELIEVES IT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE

BELIEVES IT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE

JOE BIDEN AND NOVEMBER.

ELON MUSK IS, OF COURSE, ONE OF

THE TWO RICHEST PEOPLE ON EARTH

AND COULD SINGLE-HANDEDLY ERASE

ANY FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE

DEMOCRATS HAD HEADED INTO THE

GENERAL ELECTION AND IF HE

DECIDED TO HER WANTED HIM TO PLAY IT THAT WAY AND WHAT WOULD

PLAY IT THAT WAY AND WHAT WOULD

THAT MEAN FOR THE WORLD AND THE

REPUBLIC.

>> AND HE IS SURE THAT MONEY IS

NOT TO PAY HIS LEGAL BILLS?

>> WE ALL SIT HERE AND THINK OH

MY GOSH HE IS $83 MILLION AND

HE OWES THIS MUCH YEAR AND HE

DOESN'T HAVE THAT MONEY?

GUESS WHAT?

WHETHER IT IS ELON MUSK OR

OTHER SUPREMELY WEALTHY FORCES

OUT THERE, THEY WOULD BE HAPPY

TO PAY THE BILLS FOR SOMEBODY

WHO COULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT

BUT ELON MUSK, HOW MUCH WOULD

HE LIKE IT IF HE THEN OWN THE PRESIDENT?

PRESIDENT?

>> LET'S GO BACK TO MITCH

McCONNELL AND JOHN ROBERTS HAVE

CRAFTED THE UNIVERSE IN WHICH

WE OPERATE IN BROUGHT US TO A

POSITION WHERE THE RICHEST

BILLIONAIRE OUT OF LIKE IN

1890S GILDED AGE CARTOON IN A

NEWSPAPER IN THE CORRECT -- AND

THE CORRUPT PERSON HAVE A

MEETING AND WHAT IS THIS IMPLIED IN THIS INTERACTION?'S

IMPLIED IN THIS INTERACTION?'S

IT'S HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF

CONTRACTS WITH ELON MUSK

THROUGH SPACEX AND HE IS

UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNTS OF

INTEREST IN REGULATORY AFFAIRS

AND IS CURRENTLY SUING TO GET

RID OF THE NATIONAL LABOR

RELATIONS ACT OF THE NEW DEAL

TO DESTROY UNIONS ACROSS THE

BOARD AND RENDER THEM

UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND THAT'S A

CURRENT LAWSUIT HE HAS FILED

ONTO.

THINK ABOUT THE SHEER RETURN OF

INVESTMENT OF THAT AND IT

SHOCKS THE CONSCIENCE THAT IT

WOULD EVEN BE POSSIBLE AND ONLY

IT IS POSSIBLE AGAIN BECAUSE OF

MITCH McCONNELL AND THE MAGA

COURT THAT YOU CAN EVEN BE IN A

POSITION WHERE YOU HAVE AN

OBVIOUSLY CORRUPT SET UP.

>> TESLA IS THE ONLY CAR

MANUFACTURER ALLOWED TO SELL TO

CONSUMER BECAUSE ONE OF THE

BIGGEST STRONGEST IN THIS

COUNTRY WAS CAR DEALERSHIP

OWNERS.

THE FACT THAT HE COULD BACK

DONALD TRUMP AND PAY HIS BILLS

AND BE ABLE TO PUSH DONALD

TRUMP AROUND, IT IS AN EASY

ENVIRONMENT.

>> HE CONTROL STARLINK WHICH IS

CRITICAL TO UKRAINE AND HE

COULD BE THE J.P.

MORGAN OF THE CURRENT ERA AND HE WOULD LITERALLY OWN A

HE WOULD LITERALLY OWN A

DESPERATE FEARFUL MAN AND I SAT

AND WATCHED SEVERAL MINUTES OF

DONALD TRUMP SPEAKING FROM LOOK

LIKE HIS BASEMENT.

DONALD TRUMP IS AFRAID.

HE IS AFRAID OF GOING TO

PRISON.

HE IS AFRAID OF LOSING

EVERYTHING HE BUILT IN NEW YORK

OR HIS DAD BUILT AND HE

BORROWED MONEY FROM THE

RUSSIANS OR WHATEVER.

BUT HE COULD BE SAVED RIGHT NOW

AND ALL HE NEEDS IS A

BILLIONAIRE WHO NEEDS TO OWN

HIM AND HE GETS TO BE PRESIDENT

AND HE GETS DISMISSED AND HE IS

BASICALLY, THAT IS HIS MBS.

>> HE IS RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE

AND HE WILL INEVITABLY WIN ONCE

HE HAS HIS MONEY BEHIND HIM AND THEN I BELIEVE MONEY AND

THEN I BELIEVE MONEY AND POLITICS IS A

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT STATE

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT STATE

GOVERNMENTS AND FEDERAL

GOVERNMENTS AND WHEN YOU HAVE

THESE GOVERNMENTS IN POWER.

THEY DEREGULATE AND THERE IS

SOMETHING VERY CLARIFYING ABOUT

THEM TOGETHER IN THE SAME ROOM

BECAUSE IT CUTS THROUGH THE

FAUX POPULISM OR NONSENSE THAT

MASKS FUNDAMENTALLY THE

INTEREST BEING PURSUED BY THIS.

>> PEOPLE OFTEN FALSELY SAY

REPUBLICANS ARE GOOD FOR THE

ECONOMY BECAUSE IN TERMS OF

DEREGULATION AND IN TERMS OF

BIG AS SOON AS THAT WILL SAY A REPUBLICAN IS A SAFER BET FOR

REPUBLICAN IS A SAFER BET FOR ME.

ANTI-DEMOCRATIC

ANTI-DEMOCRATIC

TACTICS IS SHAME, AND IS

TRANSPARENCY AND PEOPLE KNOWING

THE INFORMATION OF BEING ABLE TO

REACT ACCORDINGLY.

THAT -- IF THAT IS ALL WE GOT,

THEN OUR INSTITUTIONS WILL NOT

DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY.

IF WE LET THINGS PLAY OUT ALONG

THESE LINES, OUR DEMOCRACY WILL

FALL, AND WE'LL BECOME A COUNTRY

THAT DOESN'T HAVE ELECTIONS

ANYMORE, SO WE'RE IN A SITUATION

RIGHT NOW WHERE WE CAN'T COUNT

ON THE EXISTING STRUCTURES TO

JUST DO THIS ON AUTOPILOT.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OUT OF

THIS.

YOU HAVE TO PICK ONE.

YOU HAVE TO PICK DONALD TRUMP,

OR YOU HAVE TO PICK JOE BIDEN.

THERE ISN'T A MAGIC OTHER

ANSWER.

>> NO, NO.

>> NO INSTITUTION, NO CRIMINAL

COURT OR PROSECUTION -- THERE IS

NO MAGIC IN THE MEDIA.

THERE'S PEOPLE HAVING TO FIGURE

OUT WHICH ONE OF THE CANDIDATES

THEY WANT AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR

THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY AND

GOING OUT AND DOING THE WORK TO

MAKE SURE THAT THAT CANDIDATE

WINS, THAT MEANS NOT ONLY VOTING

BUT LITERALLY DOING WHAT YOU CAN

TO MAKE ONE OF THOSE TWO

CANDIDATES WIN, AND IF YOU'RE

NOT WORKING FOR ONE OF THEM, YOU

ARE BY DEFAULT WORKING --

>> WITH THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN FOLKS

SAID THEY'RE SENDING OUT TWO

WORDS TONIGHT, CEMENTING

REALITY, AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

IS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

WHAT TONIGHT IS ABOUT IS

CEMENTING THE REALITY THAT IT'S

BIDEN OR TRUMP.

WHAT JOE BIDEN WAS ABLE TO DO IS

CEMENT 80% AND THEY HOPE TO

CEMENT THAT FOR THE VOTERS,

BECAUSE THEIR VOTERS ARE THE

ONES MOST FANTASY PRONE, MORE SO

FOR REPUBLICANS, BUT REPUBLICANS

ARE MORE DISCONNECTED FROM EACH

OTHER.

THEY ARE ACTUALLY HAVING A FIGHT

THAT IS BIGGER ITALIAN THE FIGHT

INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

YOU JUST HAVE SOME DEMOCRATS
