Governor Lamont makes Meidas Touch Network Debut.

Governor Ned Lamont appeared on the popular Meidas Touch Network Thursday for the first time. In a week of dizzying hyperbole, Lamont was a calming presence after a clip featuring Secretary of Commerce Howard (“Let Trump Run the Global economy”) Lutnick. The Greenwich Democrat made a case for the federal government to inform states what its plans are and providing some runway to adjust.

Lamont said his “deal” with the state legislature is “no surprises.” He pointed out that the state is required to have a balanced budget. The governor took a few moments to shine a light on the daycare support program he proposed in his February budget proposal.

“Why are we picking fights with our friends?” he asked of Donald Trump’s ruinous tariff proposals launched at Americans Wednesday afternoon.

Ben Meidas concluded by Lamont will be back on the growing YouTube channel with more than 4 million subscribers.
