49.099 - 64.254 Elon Musk

And the reason that they went after him is because they're very concerned about President Trump's policy, both with regard to immigration and also with regard to generalized foreign policy. And that is because Trump is, in fact, a break from the past on both of those issues. President Trump has created consensus around illegal immigration.

64.874 - 81.635 Elon Musk

Or more realistically, Joe Biden created consensus around illegal immigration that was largely dependent on him opening the borders wide. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has taken a lead role in helping to enforce President Trump's vision of immigration in the United States, which is to say closed southern border. And also, if people come here,

82.276 - 99.423 Elon Musk

As guests, they do not get to stay here if they are interested in overthrowing the American system, in supporting terrorist groups, or all of the rest. Democrats, of course, have a much more open borders view of what America ought to be. They believe that for some odd reason, the United States owes it to literally everyone on earth to let everyone on earth in.

100.103 - 114.849 Elon Musk

The same exact perspective that wrecked large parts of Europe has been accepted for a very long time by Democrats. Some of the more effective Democrats are now realizing that that's bad policy, but not apparently the Senate Democrats who are questioning Marco Rubio. And then when it came to sort of broader American foreign policy,

115.749 - 133.477 Elon Musk

Senate Democrats can't seem to get their head around what President Trump is doing on broader foreign policy. And that's because President Trump does not actually have a thoroughgoing doctrine when it comes to his own foreign policy. Everybody keeps trying to forge a philosophy around what President Trump is doing. What is the consistent principle that always holds with regard to President Trump?

133.537 - 149.732 Elon Musk

And the truth is that President Trump's foreign policy is very much ad hoc. It's very situational. That's true of him generally. He makes moves. There's a reaction to the moves. He reacts to the reaction and then he sticks and moves. That is how he operates in the foreign policy realm. It's how he operates in the deal making realm.
