Whip Emmer on the House Republicans’ continuing resolution:

“The president has called for what people refer to as a clean continuing resolution. What does that mean? One, it freezes spending. Two, it actually helps Donald Trump and Elon continue their DOGE efforts, which is what the Democrats so desperately want to stop. And three, it denies the Democrats what appears to be their hunger for a government shutdown. And it's going to happen tomorrow night.”

Whip Emmer on President Trump’s tariffs:

“This is exactly what Donald Trump campaigned on, Charles. He campaigned on putting America and Americans first—that's all he's doing. He's using tariffs as a tool to get our trade partners to actually treat us fairly.

“I've got one of the most incompetent governors in the country, Charles, a guy named Tim Walz. And he's out there saying Trump is anti-farmer. Well, I got news for you: our dairy industry is getting crushed by Canadian tariffs and if you look at all Donald Trump is saying, it's common sense. Look, we will treat you the way you treat us. The markets are going to have all kinds of different things going on, but, yes, we are going to stay the course because this country's future depends on it. 

“Why should Americans not have free and full access to markets around the world when we give all of those other folks access to our markets right here in the United States? I think Donald Trump made it very clear this is what he was going to do. I think the public is with him and, by the way, if Canada or [any] other of our trade partners want to try and make this hard on Americans, Charles, it's actually going to help Donald Trump. He told all of us during his campaign, all Americans, that they don't care about you. I'm the one that cares about you. I'm the one that's going to take care of this. And I think Americans are going to support him even more.”

Whip Emmer on the future of digit assets in the United States:

“We're going to do a market structure bill at some point this congress. We're going to do a dollar-backed stable coin bill. I'm looking forward to codifying something that is in President Trump's executive order on digital assets, and that is putting into law a prohibition on central bank digital currencies. Because, you know Charles, unless it's open, permissionless, and private [and] it can emulate cash, all the central bank digital currency system will be is a surveillance system that the government could use on its citizens. So, I want to see at least those three.”

Whip Emmer on last week’s historic White House Crypto Summit:

“It was historic last Friday to have that Crypto Summit and the talent that was in the room. We've got a president who's looking to the 21st century and beyond, as opposed to those who want to live in the past. It's really exciting.”
