On President Trump’s deal with India:
“Well, Liz, what another great day of winning for President Trump and for America. You know, President Trump’s the only person, the only president, I’ve ever seen to take tariffs and use them for economic benefit as well as a national security benefit. The national security benefit here is that India is going to stop buying oil from Russia, and they’ll start buying it from America. So that’s going to slow down Putin’s war machine. Look what this deal is going to do: it’s going to double the amount of exports of American agriculture and oil into India. So that’s a great win for all Americans and a great win for President Trump. By the way, out of the top 10 countries we trade with, President Trump has now done with all 10 of them some type of a tariff deal.”
On Republicans’ leverage on immigration:
“Again, more winning for all of us. Look, the big picture here is that Republicans have the high ground as well as the leverage. The high ground is that Republicans are the party of law and order, and Democrats are the party of defund the police. So here they are defunding ICE again, and it’s not a winning issue for them. Look, at the end of the day, Republicans need to stay strong. Still, the supermajority of Americans want a secure border, they want their families to be safe, they want—especially—the violent illegal aliens to be exported out of this country as well. From an economic standpoint, don’t underestimate the impact of 10 or 20 million people flooding into our country and taking up the housing, as well as all the social resources. So, I think that we’ve got this well under control. Again, Republicans hold the leverage going forward in that we have funded ICE in the Working Family Tax Cuts going forward for the next three or four years. And what you’re going to see is the Democrats try to shut down funding for the rest of DHS, and that includes the Coast Guard, FEMA, and TSA. So, we have the high ground, we have the leverage.”
