I'm so sorry to say that people are legitimately upset. They are legitimately upset at Elon Musk. And they're doing it on their own. But there's no reason to have violence in the country. But I just wish all of us would support criticism.

As I told the Business Roundtable yesterday, as I tell your viewers, what we're trying to do is create economic certainty. We're going to do it with the tax plan. We're going to do it with deregulation.
And I also said to the Business Roundtable, I think it was 135 CEOs yesterday, if you came out with a plan similar to what Doge wants to do with the federal government, all your stocks would go up 15% or 20%. it would be considered a miraculous restructuring, cost savings, and put you on a sustainable course.
I'm not concerned about a little bit of volatility over three weeks, because if you look over the long term, the reason stocks are a safe and great investment is because you're looking over the long term. I can't tell you that the market is going to go up today, tomorrow, next week.
But I can tell you that if we put proper policies in place, it's going to lay the groundwork for both real income gains and job gains and continued asset gains.
If we just take kind of a scale zero to 10, that I think the Biden administration sanctions on Russia were probably a three. On the way out the door, they took them to a six. And I can tell you, we wouldn't hesitate to take them up to 10.
Access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American dream. The American dream is rooted in the concept that any citizen can achieve prosperity, upward mobility, and economic security. For too long, the designers of multilateral trade deals have lost sight of this. International economic relations that do not work for the American people must be reexamined.
I know it's what President Trump believes. He believes three things. One, It is a good source of revenues. Two, it protects our important industries and the employees. And three, he's added a third leg to the stool and he uses it for negotiating.
We can accumulate all of the strategic mineral deposits that we need, but China still does 85% of the processing. And every time a private sector company tries to stand up a processing facility outside of China, China drops their prices and puts them out of business. There are several in the United States that are just sitting idle because the Chinese saw what was happening and dropped it.
And that's unacceptable.
Margaret, it is impossible to have an economic deal without a peace deal. The sine qua non for an economic deal is that Ukrainian leadership wants a peace deal.
I think that'd be a very good characterization.
Seven times, my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate. Every day in between, I've been humbled by the trust they placed in me to do their business. right here representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime i will not seek this honor an eighth time my current term in the senate will be my last okay so again
When you say the Doge team, these are Treasury employees. Two Treasury employees, one of whom I personally interviewed in his final round. There is no tinkering with the system. They are on read-only. They are looking. They can make no changes. It is an operational program to suggest improvements. So we make 1.3 billion payments a year.
And this is two employees who are working with a group of longstanding employees.

We do not have a revenue problem in the United States of America. We have a spending problem that historically for the past 40 or 50 years, revenues, federal government revenues have averaged about 17 to 17 and a half percent of GDP.
And spending has been slightly over that, leading us to a 3.5% budget deficit, which is manageable because we have roughly 3.8% nominal growth, 1.8% real growth, 2% inflation. Today, as you stated, and to be clear, this is one of the things that got me out from behind my desk and my quiet life in this campaign, was the thought that this spending is out of control.
We are spending about 24, 25% of GDP. So as you said, 6.8 to 7% deficit. We have never seen this before when it is not a recession or not a war.
Senator Sanders, I enjoyed our visit. Talk a little bit closer into the mic. I enjoyed our visit, and I hope you got my follow-up materials on the discussions, my previous writings on the tariffs and China. And look, the three billionaires who you listed, they all made the money themselves.
And it was missing. But the first time I heard that the police knew about it being pawned was well after I was arrested. The police have to provide the defense with discovery when they ask for any solitary information. The police hadn't shared this with us at all. And now I know why, because they covered it up.
