During an appearance on "Morning Joe," to talk about Donald Trump's economic claims during a televised speech on Tuesday night, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle reported a White House insider has been shunted to the side for offering an alternative opinion on how to deal with Ukraine.

Sitting in a panel with host Joe Scarborough, Ruhle, a former Wall Street executive, first dismantled assertions made by billionaire Elon Musk about the economy before changing the topic to the president's treatment of President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.

"People are bracing themselves you know, the business community," she began. "Donald Trump did the unthinkable, he killed animal spirits, despite the fact that he that he's going to be extending tax cuts, that it's going to be a deregulatory bonanza, and that this is a big business administration."

"In the last two weeks alone, you've seen lots of people in the business community, many who were supporters of the president, suddenly paralyzed, saying, 'I can't look right, I can't look left, I don't know what this guy is about to do.' And the thing that's most disturbing for them, and he didn't talk about it much, is truly his alignment with Russia in the last week."

"I'll tell you this last point, Joe, in the last week I heard that someone pretty close to Donald Trump in this administration had just voiced privately in a White House meeting that maybe we need to lay off Ukraine," Ruhle reported. "That person has already been boxed out."

She then predicted, "So when you wonder, how could the likes of a [Secretary of Commerce] Howard Lutnick, a [Treasury Secretary] Scott Bessent and others who understand markets, who understand the economy –– why aren't they pushing back?"

In a Substack article, Vance dubbed the first moment to remember as "The Stupid," while recounting Trump's words: "I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Perhaps. Which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight."

With Schumer on to provide a postmortem of Trump's abrasive address before both chambers of Congress on Tuesday night and, after Schumer praised the Democratic response from Sen . Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), the MSNBC host pointed out the rumblings about his performance as the Democratic leader in the Senate.

'We came in with a clip of [late night host] Stephen Colbert telling Democrats 'do something.' We've had other people on this show, Democrats being critical, saying that you and Hakeem Jeffries and other Democratic leaders on the Hill aren't doing enough. First of all, respond to those criticisms from other Democrats, and also let us know what is your plan? What can you do being in the minority?"

"Well, let me tell you our plan, which is a very good plan, the plan is to organize," the New York Democrat offered.

"The most important thing you can do is to protest is organizing," he continued. "It's not easy, but the American people are rising to the cause. So I had a call set up with our major activists in New York state, you know, lots of them. I thought about 500 people would get on the call. 3000 did."

"And here's what we decided to do on the issues that so affect Americans; the cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, the tariffs," he reported. "We're going to focus on the six Republican Congress members in New York state. As you know, the margin is so small in the House that only two would change, only two votes, two people changing their vote would help us win some of those fights."

"We're getting other senators to go after Republican senators in their own states," he added. "The best way to do this is organize, because their actual program is so unpopular and so bad for the American people. I believe organizing has a very good chance of succeeding –– that's the answer that I have. That's the answer Hakeem is doing in the House and it is the best way to protest the horrible things that Trump is doing."
