He says, I am busy. And he is busy with all the things he's trying to do. Biden left just in horrible shape as a country. He left the at a horrible time with all these conflicts around the world. And the president and vice president and Secretary Rubio are working their tail off trying to bring peace around the world.
Well, if there's one person that could get a trade deal done, that's Donald Trump. Hope springs eternal. The government of China hates our way of life. Remember, they promised they wouldn't keep selling fentanyl. 70,000 people died of fentanyl coming from China last year. They promised in the past, oh, they would stop stealing our technology, things like that. They do it every day.

It's a despicable government. So I'm very hopeful. And if one person can do it, it's Donald Trump. Do I believe that in the end China will comply with anything? No. They didn't comply with the Trump trade deal when he was first president. They haven't tried to comply with the most favored nation. They haven't complied with the World Trade Organization. They haven't complied with anything.

anything they say they're going to do. They lie, cheat and steal. We need to decouple from China. Stop buying their stuff.

Well, the best way is every American citizen needs to say, China is not my friend. Stop buying from any products, any services, any apps from China. None. Zero. They want to destroy your individual way of life. They might have killed a family member through fentanyl, but they want to steal your jobs. They want to build a military to defeat us. They are despicable. I know the president is trying to

in a logical manner, decouple from China. I think we're going to get there. We shouldn't be buying Chinese stocks. They don't comply with the rules of the SEC. Their financial statements do not follow general economics. accounting principles, general accepted accounting principles. So we have to decouple from them.

Number one, when I got up there, 85% of the drones bought by a federal government were Chinese. None today. Other technologies like LIDAR. We're still buying drugs from China for our military. That's crazy. So we're starting the process every year. We chip away.

We passed legislation that said their Chinese stocks cannot be sold on our exchanges because they don't comply with general accounting principles. Now, the Biden administration didn't enforce that. The new SEC commissioner said he will enforce it. So every day we chip away. But the best way to do it, don't rely on government. Rely on yourself. They don't like your way of life.

You have to say, Amazon, if you won't tell us where something's made, I won't buy it. And if you get a package that's made from China, send it back and say, I didn't want anything made in China.

Well, in the Senate, we had a great policy meeting on Wednesday to talk about it. I know the House has some committee meetings this week. We'll find out where they are. But let's put this in perspective. All of us want to make sure President Trump can secure the border. All of us want to make sure our military can defend our freedom.

All of us that I know of want to make sure we extend the Trump tax cuts. What we're arguing about is, are we going to get our fiscal house in order? We're anticipating spending like $85 billion. The $1.5 billion that the House is struggling to come up with is less than 2% increase in our saving money when we've had a 53% increase in spending in the last five years.
