Senator Ted Cruz

It wouldn't work and people would flee their state. And so their answer is, we want to do it to everyone in the entire country so you can't flee. Unless you're willing to leave America, you're stuck.

Well, on Monday we're going to see a flurry of executive orders. I think it'll be in the neighborhood of 100 executive orders. I'm optimistic about them. That's the number they're talking about. It's going to be in that neighborhood. Shock and awe. And I actually, I'm pretty happy about that. Now look, will I agree with all 100? I don't know.

My guess is I'll agree with the vast majority of them, but I don't know everything that's in there, so we'll see.

Yes, and Chamath, that's actually a point. You know, I think back to, so my wife Heidi and I met on the 2000 George W. Bush campaign. And so we both served as young people in the Bush administration. And I think there is a quantum of outrage, and I call it the arsenic quantum of outrage. If you remember the beginning of Bush 43, One of the first things he did is his EPA revoked a rule on arsenic.

And for like six weeks, the media saturated the airwaves with the evil Republicans want to poison our children with arsenic. And I mean, it was it dominated forever and they beat the living daylights out of him for it. Now, look, Monday, when you get 100 executive orders, I think that's how much outrage there is. And that arsenic quantum of outrage will be directed at everything smeared.

Which makes it very hard for them to oppose anything coherently and directly and gives an opportunity, I hope, for this administration. What I'd like to see is really delivering on the mandate of this election. The outcomes in November were clear.

So number one, secure the border. And I believe that'll start on January 20th. And it will start by ending catch and release so that when people are apprehended, they are detained and they're sent back to where they came from. I think that will be followed up by going and arresting criminal illegal aliens, going and arresting murderers and rapists and child molesters and gang bangers.

I think all of that will roll out very, very fast. I think there is also a mandate to end the federal government's war on energy, on Texas oil and gas. And that will lower prices at the gas pump, at the grocery store, every bill people are paying. And I think if you look at the top two issues in this election, it was illegal immigration and safety, and it was inflation and the economy.

I think we will also see a lessening of the job killing regulations on small businesses, a return to thriving, booming economic growth. What would those be? Look, there are a host of them. Energy is the easy example where the Biden administration's put in over 90 different regulations and executive orders, all designed to drive up the cost of energy.

And so I expect pretty much all of those to be reversed.

Look, I think on energy, we ought to pursue all of the above. Beyond that, I think there is also a mandate on the economic side. The 2017 Trump tax cuts are expiring this year. We're going to extend them. My hope is we make them bigger and bolder. That's going to take some time. We'll do that through what's called the reconciliation process. And then on foreign policy.
