Sean Hannity agreed, too:

And here’s Laura Ingraham yesterday, with a slight change of attitude:
Need to see details re. how Trump proposes to pay for a new 6-wk maternity benefit. Savings bc those women won't go on disability?

Trump went on with Sean Hannity last night to discuss the proposal, without the pushback from January:

Trump says he’ll pay for the plan but cutting fraud, waste and abuse in the unemployment insurance program, which we’ve heard before from politicians of both parties:
