“We're actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them. Amazingly, we weren't doing that before. … This is not about cutting off anybody from their benefits. It's about cutting off fraudsters from stealing from these programs. … We had a system in this country that rewarded brokers, that made people rich for enrolling fake people in programs that are meant to ensure that our fellow citizens have health care. This was a scandal.
“Personally, I feel a little bit weird about the fact that you have so many frontier AI tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to regulate them. It feels a little bit to me like a bit of a Trojan horse. … It's something that we're concerned by, but we want to make sure that we actually regulate smartly. And we're thoughtful about the risk here.
“If you love Mexico so much, get your ass over there. I'll buy you the plane ticket.
“The Democrats are the party of hatred. They're the party that despises America and the people who built it. … I'm not asking anybody to agree with me on every single issue.
“What the president is just saying is, if you keep it going, to the American people, if you keep us in power and allow us to continue to do these things, then you're gonna share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that we're creating.
“Our view, and this has been a consistent message from the president and the rest of the administration on down, is that we believe that the Fed should be lowering interest rates.
“We feel quite confident that if you look at the inflation numbers, if you look at the CPI numbers, that it’s proper and responsible for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
“We will certainly work that on the back end.
“I wouldn’t call it a war. Right now, there is no active shooting.
“The president and I can go and make that argument on national TV. We don't need a congressman in a tight race to be there in all cases. Sometimes it might be better if that guy's out there raising money.
“We're investigating it because obviously we care, we want to know. And if we do make mistakes, again, this is a big difference between us and Iran: when our military makes mistakes, they learn from them to try to get better from them.
“I’m extremely skeptical of this. We’re investigating it because obviously we care, we want to know.
“When you ask, when will this end, you're asking me a question, like, 'When will the Iranians stop shooting at ships?' I think the reality is, I don't know the answer to that question. You would have to ask the Iranians.
“I wouldn't call it a war. Right now, there is no active shooting. I recognize there have been places where this has flared up.
“We never target civilians in combat. We never will do that. We never have done that.
“I will say that the Iranian state media has not been a very good scribe about what's happened in the conflict thus far, so I'm extremely skeptical of this. Unfortunately, obviously, sometimes things happen, but in this particular case, I don't think that we have any information one way or the other.
“The president likes to switch it up on social media a little bit. He would be the first to say he doesn’t make announcements about military actions on social media, but I think that he’s sending a message to the Iranians.
“We can absolutely investigate every shooting and we will, but we can also secure our border and ensure that that poison stops coming into our country.
“Canada is a country that has underinvested in its military that quite literally would get invaded by a foreign country were it not for the umbrella of protection provided by the United States of America.
