Rise of the CCP:

“We need to be applying max pressure, max exertion. Every lever that we pulled against Russia in the wake of, and frankly leading up to them invading Ukraine, we should be pulling against the Chinese as well. Xi Jinping doesn’t respond to the sort of appeasement strategy that we’ve been using for the last couple of decades.”

“We’ve got to be [applying max pressure] while we’re also building a meaningful military deterrence so that [Xi Jinping] is not having aspirations of annexing Taiwan.”

‘Bidenomics’:

“We’ve got to get core inflation down below 7%...This is what happens when you inject about six trillion dollars of liquidity into the marketplace with the Inflation Reduction Act, the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and the American Rescue Plan. 

“These were all things that, ironically, were meant to try to save the economy and prevent inflation. And anyone that has any fundamental understanding of economics knows that these [policies] were the root cause and really aggravated inflation over the last couple years. We’ve got to reverse this trend of massive spending and start making the necessary cuts to do so.”
