The MeidasTouch Podcast
Congressman Garcia on Trump’s Harmful Tariffs

The prices of eggs, of groceries, of housing, construction of housing, by the way, is going to go up because the materials that we need are going to have tariffs on them. So housing construction and the prices of homes will skyrocket. And so people are angry. I think there's a growing consensus, even amongst Republicans, that Donald Trump has no idea what he's doing on the economy.

No, I think that's absolutely right. Look, I've been saying from day one that we've got to match the energy on the ground. We've got to fight like hell. We cannot continue to allow Republicans to just steamroll over us. And, you know, we've always been this party of respectability and, you know, and doing the right thing and making sure that we're bipartisan. That's over.

And people on the ground have no interest in us holding hands with Republicans as they steamroll over our priorities and our rights. They want us to fight. And I think you're seeing a lot of Democrats now taking that fight directly to Republicans, directly to Elon Musk. I mean, as you know, I'm being... criminally investigated for calling Elon Musk a dick for crying out loud.

I mean, this is insanity what they were trying to do to weaponize the Justice Department, going after folks like AOC and Jasmine Crockett and others for just speaking truth and for taking on Elon Musk. And so I'm really happy to see Kim Jeffries, our leader, Democrats out there just pounding the pavement. And you're going to see a lot more of us in these Republican districts.

Just to continue to stay engaged, stay loud, demand more of us, demand more of these Republicans. We only need three of these Republicans to stop the massive tax giveaway that Donald Trump is trying to put in place with Elon Musk. And so just stay engaged. I know it's frustrating. I'm frustrated too. I get mad and pissed as well, but we got to keep fighting like hell.
