senator tom cotton. senator, you and i predict that they would do this very thing that i have enough republican senators i think who are terrible on the issue of china. they know who they are. to go right along with this. what can you tell estimate about this move? potential move? laura, first off it so silly to blame these tariffs for inflation. these tariffs were in place almost from the beginning of the trump administration we did not have inflation. it s kind of like blaming inflation on so-called putin price hike when the price of gas was increasing well before vladimir putin invaded ukraine. the next thing they are going to be blaming inflation for is the lack of unicorn tears to fuel our cars. it s part of a pattern you see with the biden administration continuing to try to conciliate with china, turn the other cheek. not pursuing the likely origins of the coronavirus in the wall and lab.
like the putin price hike? are you kidding me? does he not think that americans understand basic unum economics? it s a condescension to the american people that we don t understand. we do understand. thankfully we have journalists and reporters that give us the truth. kayleigh: there was i was always skeptical of it for two reasons. one, they kept saying ad nauseam we referred to the cdc. i didn t think they d be able to go back and let messaging. but number two, they need progressives at this point. they ve lost hispanics, they ve lost suburban women, they cannot lose asap and that s all left got command young people they cannot go back in this. aoc who wants to cancel $1.6 trillion in student debt. but that on the taxpayer. no, there are many democrats behind the scenes that have gone to the white house saying wait a minute on title 42.
