Inauguration Interviews: Trump's Talent, Democratic Rebrand & more with House Whip Emmer, Reps Swalwell & Khanna

Russia had a preferred candidate and they did a lot to try and get that guy to win. I think he could have. And I think he may regret that in a lot of his trolling, he made himself look guiltier when he probably could have shown us that the concerns we had weren't there. But I don't I'm not going to dwell on that. I'm not going to.

you know, focus on the fact that he was impeached twice and sent a mob that, you know, could have killed many of the people in the capital with me on January 6th. I'm going to focus on if he wants to bring order to the border, make our community safer and raise wages and lower costs. I'm going to work. What I meant, what I meant. I think that's a great message.

a lot of people around him went to jail and it felt like, well, if Michael Cohen went to jail, like why the is this guy not being held to account? Like Michael Cohen went to jail for being a part of that hush money settlement.

I just wanted everyone to be treated the same. And so That's the way I was raised. My dad lost his job as a cop when he wouldn't essentially get bribed. He wouldn't allow a bribe from a mayor to influence him. Well, that's amazing. That was my earliest experience. We were in a small town in Iowa, and he was the police chief. The mayor very publicly tried to corrupt him, and he wouldn't do it.
