I actually dug into this whole matter. I just want to address it: It was a one-day pause, which is typical for negotiations.

I wouldn’t accept more than $500 billion in Medicaid cuts.

We’re the United States of America. We’re not Kaiser Wilhelm’s Germany or Napoleon’s France. I just — we’re better than this. It just sounds like a sophomore thing to do.

I couldn’t sign on to the $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid that hardliners of his party are demanding.

it just seems juvenile.

He may have the constitutional authority to do it, but does it make it right?

I will tell you, Russia and China today are laughing at us because we just fired the absolute best leaders.

I think if we get 60 votes in the Senate, they'll put pressure on the House to look at this.

If you separate, put them under two different commands, then you're gonna create a dysfunctional partnership.

the Constitution is clear, the House and the Senate, Congress, has the power of tariffs and taxes.

We learned from that that tariffs and protectionism does not work, and that free trade in the end, as long as it's fair, we want fair trade.

The power of tariffs and taxes, and we gave some of that power to the executive branch, which he called a mistake.

It's time that Congress restores its authorities here.

The end bill will be more like the Senate’s numbers

Intentionally putting classified info on an unclassified application is the real crime.

The White House is in denial that this was not classified or sensitive data. They should just own up to it and preserve credibility.

I think the most accountable, or the most guilty person is the secretary of defense because he put in all the highly classified information.

I will guarantee you, 99.99 percent with confidence, Russia and China are monitoring those two phones.

We've all sent a text to a wrong person, but the bigger problem is they are not using secure phones to discuss war plans.

This can get our troops killed. Secure phones are mandatory for these kinds of communications.

First, we are not going to cut Social Security benefits.

There’s an old saying I learned. Measure twice, cut once.
