TV personality Donny Deutsch said Friday that MSNBC's Morning Joe might not exist if former President Donald Trump wins in 2024 because freedom will have died.
"Do you not understand that if Donald Trump wins, nothing else matters because it's over?" Deutsch asked a panel hosted by Morning Joe. "Just to take a little example, Morning Joe might not exist anymore because Donald Trump has said, as all autocrats say, what they will do."

Trump has stated that, if he is elected, he wants the Federal Communications Commission to report directly to him and he will cancel the MSNBC program, according to Deutsch.
Morning Joe: “‘Morning Joe’ might not exist [if Trump wins], as … he has said, ‘If I’m elected, I want the FCC reporting directly to me,’ & he will cancel this show. You need to think that — that extreme. It’s over! Freedom is over if Donald Trump gets elected” pic.twitter.com/142LGMG4EO

"You need to think that extreme," he said. "It's over. Freedom is over if Donald Trump gets elected."
"It's that simple — no other issue matters. Every other issue sprinkles down from that. However you feel about the economy, however you feel about whatever issue you're dealing with, we turn into autocracy," Deutsch said.

A Trump win in 2024 means the demise of what America's forefathers fought and sacrificed for, Deutsch said.
"That's what's at stake in this election," he said. "Everything else is a subtext to that."
