00:00Obviously, Jasmine Crockett, who the president has openly criticized, just entered Texas' Senate race.
00:04I asked Mike Johnson, who said that Texas largely supports the president.
00:08Crockett, on the other hand, says that Trump is an example of extremism.
00:12She says that her support is a referendum on Trump.
00:17I'm curious to get your thoughts on this.
00:18Has Trump made any statements since she's announced her candidacy?
00:23Not to my knowledge, as you know from the White House podium.
00:26As a government employee, I'm not privy to comment on future elections,
00:30but I do think the president has made his thoughts on Ms. Crockett quite clear,
00:34and I do believe he thinks she is wholly unqualified for the office that she is seeking.
00:39Joey.
00:40Yeah, thanks, Caroline.
00:40A federal judge today ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from ICE detention.
00:46Does the White House have a response to that, and does the administration plan to appeal that decision?
00:52Absolutely.
00:52The White House, the administration, opposed this activism from a judge who is really acting as a judicial activist,
01:00which we've unfortunately seen in many cases across the country.
01:03Abrego Garcia is present in our country illegally.
01:06He is a proven human trafficker.
01:09He is a proven gang member.
01:11The administration has evidence of that,
01:13and as you saw from the Department of Homeland Security,
01:16they issued a statement saying they'll continue to fight this legal battle in court.
01:19Caitlin.
01:20There are two questions.
01:21I have one on Venezuela to follow up, but first on affordability,
01:24since we were talking about the economy at the beginning.
01:26If the economy is as strong as the president has said it is,
01:29then why is he telling parents two weeks before Christmas that they should only buy two or three dolls for their children?
01:35Look, what the president is saying is that if we want products made right here in America,
01:39if we want them to be made from American small businesses,
01:42which is a large part of the reason the president has effectively implemented tariffs,
01:47then we're going to have better quality products right here in the United States.
01:51Maybe you'll pay a dollar or two more, but you will get better quality,
01:54and you'll be supporting your fellow Americans by buying American,
01:58and that's what the president was saying.
