STEVE GRUBER (HOST): What do you make of the tariffs first of all? Is it something you're comfortable with? Does it concern you on some levels? What's your take?
REP. WESLEY HUNT (R-TX): It doesn't concern me at all. I mean, President Trump is basically leveraging America's strength to make people pay their fair share. And by the way, Canada and Mexico, they are not only covered by us from a military standpoint, but they're covered by us economically just by virtue of being on the North American continent with the most powerful country in the entire world. So I really have no tolerance for the for for Canada talking about, you know, entering a trade war with the most powerful country in the entire world based on what we provide for them.
So, again, this is Trudeau trying to trying to flex. He's a lame duck. He's not gonna last very long, and President Trump in the end will get his way as he tends to do. You bring up fentanyl and what's happening at our southern border. Keep in mind that over two years ago, we passed HR 2 to secure our border, and the hypocritic Democrats were the ones that told us that we couldn't secure a border that we were against it even though we passed HR 2 two years ago. And you mean to tell me that within five weeks, President Trump has literally fixed our southern border.
Fentanyl is no longer pouring into our country at the rate that it was before he was president. When Biden was president, we had enough fentanyl pouring to this country to kill every single American six times. That's now come to an end. The cartel is no longer run running our border. We are running our sovereign nation yet again, and I don't really care what Trudeau does.
Guess what? In the — at the end of the day, you will bend the knee.
GRUBER: Absolutely. Wesley Hunt, I like your attitude here today because, that's the attitude of a lot of America.
