DOOCY: What do you think about a Russia to Alaska tunnel?

SEN. JIM BANKS: Maybe it's something that's possible. I don't know. I'll defer to President Trump. I'm sure there's a reason he's raising that prospect. He's several steps ahead.

Trump on the government shutdown: "We're cutting Democrat programs that we didn't want. They made one mistake, they didn't realize that gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans didn't want—giveaways, welfare programs—and we're doing that and cutting them permanently."

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.”

Q: "Do you think President Putin is playing President Trump?"

Zelensky: "[Putin] wants to postpone real negotiation meetings...He's afraid of sanctions, of President Trump's tariff, and secondary sanctions which are very painful for Russian economy."

“We believe in redemption.” Someone needs to ask him about redemption for immigrants that ICE has kidnapped.

They indicted Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud amounting to a total of about $1900. Meanwhile, Trump commutes Santos who acknowledged engaging in fraud of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This isn't about redemption or justice. It's about vengeance and cronyism.

Q: Did you tell Zelenskyy he needed to cede all of the Donbas region to Russia?

TRUMP: No. We think that what they should do is just stop at the lines where they are

Q: What do you think should happen w/ the Donbas?

T: I think 78% of the land is already taken by Russia. You leave it the way it is

When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.

President Trump came to Georgia and promised he would lower prices. Now, he's pushing a government funding bill that would let health insurance premiums DOUBLE overnight for thousands across our state. He betrayed the people of Georgia.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Trump on No Kings: "It's a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small. And the people were whacked out."
