Exposing How Politicians Are Abusing Their New Powers | Dave Rubin | DIRECT MESSAGE Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report shares his concerns about the new emergency powers we have given to our governments and how they could be abused. Governors like Andrew Cuomo in New York and Gavin Newsom in California have been granted massive amounts of new power during this crisis. While some good may come of these emergency powers, how much will government officials use their new expanded powers to force their agendas on the public? In California we are seeing Governor Newsom's openness to the idea of using this crisis to push a progressive agenda. On the federal level President Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act giving him massive power over how private businesses can operate. How long will these emergency powers be used? What conditions will have to change to scale them back? And what consequences will we face from their mistakes? Dave will also answer questions submitted on the Rubin report community, www.rubinreport.com
