Federal Funding Freeze & ICE Raids Hit NYC | 1.29.25
It is the law of the land. As you know, the president has run on that issue. He believes it's unconstitutional. For 200 years, presidents had the ability to spend less than an appropriation if they could do it for less. And we have seen the extent to which this law has contributed to waste, fraud, and abuse.

This is not a game show. I'm not going to ask that with a yes or no. That's an important question, and I can answer it. We're not abandoning women's issues.

Can I respond? You may, sir. Well, first of all, your regret for voting for me confirms I'm doing a good job based on what I know.

In the case of El Salvador, absolutely. Absolutely. We deported gang members. Gang members, including the one you had a margarita with. And that guy is a human trafficker, and that guy is a gangbanger, and the evidence is going to be clear in the days to come.

There is a division in our government between the federal branch and the judicial branch. No judge and the judicial branch cannot tell me or the president how to conduct foreign policy. No judge can tell me how I have to outreach to a foreign partner or what I need to say to them.

Ep. 2204 - Rubio BLOWS UP Senate Democrats
And if I do reach to that foreign partner and talk to them, I have under no obligation to share that with the judiciary branch. Just like a judge cannot order me to negotiate with a foreign minister of Russia, they cannot order me to negotiate with a foreign minister or the president of El Salvador.

We're going to do more. There are more coming. We're going to continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and are disrupting our higher education facilities. People are paying money. These kids pay money to go to school, and they have to walk through a bunch of lunatics who are here on student visas.

I want to do more. I hope we can find more of these people. In fact, the other day, some guys led a riot. I forgot what university it was. And I asked, please, can you find the arrest records of all the people that were arrested at that riot at that campus? Because if any of them have a visa, we're going to revoke it.

Our immigration policy should be based on the national interest of the United States. Period. End of story. If there is a subset of people that are easier to vet, who we have a better understanding of who they are and what they're going to do when they come here, they're going to receive preference, no doubt about it. There are a lot of sad stories around the world.

Millions and millions of people around the world. It's heartbreaking. We cannot assume millions and millions of people around the world. No country can.

You're not going to like all the changes, but I want you to know what the intent of the changes are. It is not to dismantle American foreign policy, and it is not to withdraw us from the world. Because I just hit 18 countries in 18 weeks. That doesn't sound like much of a withdrawal. And I see some of these foreign ministers, including individuals from Ukraine,

more than I've seen my own children. And I talk to them at least three times a week. We are engaged in the world, but we're going to be engaged in a world that makes sense and that's smart. And that isn't about saving money. It is about ensuring that we are delivering to our people what they deserve, a foreign policy that makes America stronger, safer, and more prosperous.

That continues. There was a pause for one week. All of that was restarted.

Oh, absolutely. That program has not been rescinded. They continue to receive armaments from the United States.

We're going to be looking at ways that OMB can come along beside and ask the right questions, both on the management and the budget side to get a sense.

Senator, my views are not important. I'm here on behalf of the president as his nominee to restore fiscal accountability.

I will, Senator, because it's consistent with the views that the president ran on repeatedly, made his views very clear on abortion.

That is his view. And I will strictly abide by the president's view. There it is.

I don't have a comprehensive knowledge of where the executive orders were drafted.

I can't imagine they came from Project 2025. The president disassociated himself repeatedly from that. But no, I can't give you a comprehensive answer.
