1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Today we're going to have one of my favorite senators 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: on this show, Senator Marshall Blackburn from Tennessee. Of course, 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: you know we're as a powerhouse in the Senate, but 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: she serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we're going 5 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: to talk about hearing they just held on the growing 6 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: injunctions that have been issued against President Trump. We've sort 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: of seen this judicial chaos clashing with the executive office. 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: So what can Congress do about it? Can they restore balance? 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: You know, what's the plan of action? Also, she has 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: asked the Trump administration to resurrect drug interdiction at airports. 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: So why did Joe Biden ditch it and what's at 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: stake with that. We'll also discuss President Trump's Liberation Day 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: where it has threatened these reciprocal tariffs on other countries, 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: this global trade showdown that we're about to see. What 15 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: does it mean for you at home? What should we 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: know about it? And lastly, with midterms on the horizon, 17 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Republican Party's fate without President Trump 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: on the ballot, particularly coming off of the special elections 19 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: in Florida as well as the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. 20 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: What can Republicans do to get voters motivated to turn 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: out even with President Trump in office, but he's not 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: going to be on the ballot. We'll talk about all 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: of that with Senator Marshall Blackburn. Stay tuned well, Senator 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: Marshall Blackburn, It's always an honor to have you on 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: the show. Love having you on. You're awesome, So we 26 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: always appreciate you making the time. So thank you. 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm delighted to join you. Thank you. 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: So I want to dig in to you're on the 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Committee. There's a hearing titled Rule by District 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: Judges to Exploring legislative solutions to the bipartisan problem of 31 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: universal Injunctions. Walk us through the hearing, the goal of it, 32 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: the importance of it. 33 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Lisa, our problem is that you have 34 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: district federal judges that are trying to overrule the president 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: and the executive branch, and of course we have a 36 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: separation of powers. So our hearing that we've just concluded 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: focused on this overreach and focused on what is happening 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: to policies that the Trump administration is putting forward that 39 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: the left does not like, and they're trying to squash 40 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: those policies. Now, here's an example for you. During the 41 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: month of February, President Trump had fifteen nationwide injunctions issued 42 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: against his policies. Fifteen. Now, during the entire four years 43 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden, there were fourteen nationwide injunctions issued against 44 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: Joe Biden and his policies. So this shows you the 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: aggressiveness of the left. What we do know is they're 46 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: going to the judicial branch because they lost. 47 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: At the ballot box. 48 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: The American people rejected what they were offering and said, no, 49 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: we're tired of two tears of justice. We're tired of 50 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: being broke, tired of inflation, tired of an open border, 51 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: tired of illegal immigration, we are tired of a diminishing 52 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: standing in the world. So they elected Donald Trump. He 53 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: had the electoral and the popular vote. So now he 54 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 2: is implementing this agenda that the American people voted for. 55 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: The left does not like that they lost. They can't 56 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: get passed through Congress. What they want, which is more 57 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: power and control over you, more of your hard earned 58 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: tax dollars so they can waste it on projects that 59 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: have probably outlived their usefulness. And the NGOs that are 60 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: not delivering a service that benefits the country. Now the 61 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: left has turned to the courts and they're saying, do 62 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: the dirty work for us. Stop this, and that is 63 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: why you have district courts stepping in and issuing these injunctions. 64 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: You've got a judge out in San Francisco that filed 65 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: an injunction and it is forcing people to be rehired 66 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: after they had been terminated. You have other judges that 67 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: are going after some of the Doze efforts where we're 68 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: trying to save the taxpayer money and be able to 69 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: get this thirty six trillion dollar debt under control, and 70 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: lo and behold, they're trying to stop it and force 71 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: the federal government to have money we don't have to 72 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: spend money we don't have in the bank. 73 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I totally know. It's totally ridiculous in you 74 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: and of the hearing the Senate Judiciary term in Chok 75 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: Grassley had said that since the court's in the executive 76 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: branch are on an unsustainable collision course, Congress must step 77 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: in and provide clarity. He said that you guys are 78 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: looking to explore legislative solutions to bring the balance of 79 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: power back and check I guess what can Congress do 80 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: about it? Is probably the question, you know, the audio 81 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: audience is wondering, what can you guys do about it? Legislatively? 82 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: Yes, and we do have legislation that would provide that 83 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: clarification that the district court has no ability to issue 84 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 2: a nationwide injunction. The jurisdiction of a district judge is 85 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: limited to the case in front of him and the 86 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 2: application to the district which he serves. We do appreciate 87 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: that holding hearings, filing bills, trying to move things through 88 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: the House and Senate elevates the issue. And we do 89 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: appreciate that you're going to see Justice Roberts have to 90 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 2: step in on this issue. 91 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: So today's Liberation Day. Obviously we're recording this podcast before 92 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: President Trump, you know, gives this big announcement about what 93 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: exactly we should expect from these reciprocal tariffs that will happen. 94 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: What are you expecting and what do you think the 95 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: impact will be from it? 96 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think, Lisa, that we're going to see President 97 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: Trump lay out the plan for reciprocity. If somebody is 98 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: tariffing us at ten percent, will do likewise. And we 99 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 2: have heard him say repeatedly he wants reciprocal tariffs. I 100 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: fully believe that bringing some clarity around that so that 101 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: you don't have a lot of these prognosticators assuming what 102 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: they are what it will or will not be, and 103 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: that brings uncertainty to the marketplace. I think that President Trump, 104 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: speaking defend relatively on the issue, is going to bring 105 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: some clarity and some calm to the market. We know 106 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: that President Trump's goal is to return manufacturing to the 107 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: United States to empower US workers, and that is a 108 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: goal that we all share, and we're pleased that we 109 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: have a president who is putting the United States and 110 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: our workers and our economy first. And that should this 111 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: business of what we have seen with China stealing our 112 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: intellectual property, taking our jobs, and then turning around and 113 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: sending us a virus that had such an impact. President 114 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: Trump is correct to say we're going to look at tariffs, 115 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: We're going to be fair, We're going to be reciprocal, 116 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 2: and we're going to end this US paying a state 117 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: tariff and them paying no tariff. 118 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: You know, I guess so I agree with the long term, 119 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: like I do, believe we need this course correction. You 120 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: can look at NATA. You can look at China's entry 121 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: in the World Trade Organization and you can see how that, 122 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: you know, one push manufacturers overseas, particularly to Mexico with NAFTA, 123 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: and then you know, with China's entry in the World 124 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: Trade Organization, there's just this influx of cheap goods. So 125 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: I agree with sort of the long term outlook on 126 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: it and the course correction. It's just will there be 127 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: short term pain? And what does that short term pain 128 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: mean for us in the midterms. You know, obviously we 129 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: saw these races last night. Fortunately, Republicans held on to 130 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: the two House seats in the special elections, but you know, 131 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: we lost the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by ten and 132 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: those margins and the House races were much less than 133 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: you know, we saw in prior elections. So I mean, 134 00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: what does that all mean? I guess for you know, 135 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: and then we're not going to have President Trump's in office, 136 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: but we're not going to have them on the ballot 137 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: driving turnout. So I guess what does this all sort 138 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: of collectively mean for the Republican Party moving forward, particularly 139 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: looking ahead at the midterms. 140 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: And as we talk about getting inflation down and dealing 141 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: with the unfair tariff issue. As we talk about the 142 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 2: savings we're yielding for the American people through our efforts 143 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: with DOGE. I fully believe that you're going to see 144 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: us with a very successful midterm in the midst of 145 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 2: all of this. 146 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: And when you look at. 147 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: The mainstream media, you know, Lisa, it's a lot of 148 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: naysayers and it's a lot of negative They continue to 149 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: try to make people believe that Republicans are trying to 150 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 2: cut Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security, all of which 151 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: is not true. And they're trying to make people believe 152 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: that they're going to be these very steep tariffs, which 153 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: we know they're going to settle in at reciprocal tariffs. 154 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 2: So I think the message, getting our message out there 155 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: is going to be important. Our goal is to pass 156 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: President Trump's agenda. Our goal is to make certain that 157 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: we get inflation down and that we energize the US economy, 158 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: that we reduce the size of the federal government, that 159 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: we cut spending, and that we focus on our nation's 160 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: solvency and our sovereignty. That's an imperative for future generations, 161 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: and we cannot sustain this kind of debt thirty six 162 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: trillion dollars in debt. What does that do to our 163 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: children and grandchildren? See, every citizen's share of this debt 164 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: now is a little over one hundred thousand dollars. And 165 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: when you think of it in that vein and you 166 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: have kids and grandkids that are trying to work and 167 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: trying to buy a house and trying to start a 168 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: family and build a career, and that type burden is 169 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 2: something that passing that on to our children and grandchildren 170 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: I think is an immoral action. We should get this 171 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: under control, and it's going to be a heavy lift, 172 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 2: but we can do it, and we should. 173 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: Do it, you know, an you're right. Look the experts say, 174 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, I said this on TV the other day, 175 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: like the two things we should have all learned from 176 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: the past few years is one, never underestimate President Trump. 177 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: And then two, you know, the experts tend to not 178 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: be experts these days. So it's like that's true, you know, 179 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: like and all this criticism of terrorism really really haven't 180 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: had a president pushing it since, you know, President Trump, 181 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: So I think it's sort of just the unknown for 182 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people. But you know, never underestimate. What 183 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: should we expect for getting this big, beautiful bill done 184 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: in the Senate and also expanding these tax cut, the 185 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts into perpetuity. 186 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: Yes, and as we work on that, the sentence approach 187 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: is to use current policy and make the tax cuts 188 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: from twenty seventeen permanent. We also are wanting to reinstitute 189 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: the credits for R and D, bonus depreciation, and interest. 190 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: We want to get to President Trump's desire for no 191 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 2: tax on tips or over time, and no tax on 192 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: Social Security, which by the way, is a piece of 193 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: legislation I've drafted. We also want to make certain that 194 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: the money is there to rebuild our military. When you 195 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: look at what has happened with China and the way 196 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: they are growing their Blue Water Navy, the way that 197 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: they are exercising the Belton Road Initiative and are setting 198 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: up ports whether you're talking about Sri Lanka or a Djibouti, 199 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: and the attention we need to give. 200 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: To these issues. 201 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: It is imperative that we move forward with the reconciliation bill. Now. 202 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 2: The DOGE cuts we can do in a recision bill 203 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 2: that can travel alongside, can't go into a reconciliation, but 204 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: it can travel alongside a reconciliation, and that is where 205 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: we can put those doge cuts and codify those so 206 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: we're actually cutting into the baseline and cutting that spending out. 207 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 2: That helps us to lower that baseline for the coming 208 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: years and helps us to save that money for our 209 00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,479 Speaker 2: kids and grandkids. 210 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: We've got more, Senator Blackburn. But first, According to a 211 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: recent study, as many as twenty percent of women who 212 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: undergo chemical abortions suffer complications, including a shocking number of deaths. 213 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: Did you know that the Biden administration loosened restrictions by 214 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: not requiring the NIH to report injuries caused by this 215 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: toxic pill. This pill continues to bring harm to mothers 216 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: and babies, and yet accounts for over sixty percent of abortions. 217 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: Preborn's network of clinics are flooded daily with women seeking 218 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: help after taking this pill, regretting their decision, and some 219 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: even coming in with the aborted baby's remains, not knowing 220 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: what to do with them. How horrific, Preborn welcomes these 221 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: women with open arms and offers them life saving help, 222 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: including the abortion pill reversal treatment. If it's not too late, 223 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: when you sponsor an ultrasound for a woman in crisis. 224 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: You are empowering that woman to make real choices. Please 225 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: join us as we rescue women and babies.

I wanted to ask 232 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: you on something I know you're passionate about about encouraging 233 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: the Trump administration to restart drug restart drug interdiction efforts 234 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: at the nation's airports and transportation facilities. Why did the 235 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: Biden administration shutter that effort and what should people know 236 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: about it? 237 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: Yes, and this is an issue we're trying to get 238 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: those restarted. This is an issue that came to us 239 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: by people that work in this area. And I have 240 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: no idea why the Biden administration stopped doing these searches 241 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: at the transit facilities. And we know that you have 242 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: some of these offshore illist drug producers that are shipping 243 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 2: this in flying it in coming in through the mail, 244 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: and to reinstitute these checks, whether it is at our 245 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: nation's airport or these air facilities cargo facilities, we need 246 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: to make certain that is done immediately. 247 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: Well, the I think when you said I don't know 248 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: why the Biden administration, you could probably fill in that blank. 249 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: After anything, I just don't know why they did anything 250 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: that they did. 251 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: That's true, That's exactly right. You know. The thing that 252 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: the thing that gets me about the administration is when 253 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: you look back at it, and we talked about this 254 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 2: sum during the administration, they put so much time, effort, 255 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: and energy and trying to make illegal actions legal, whether 256 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: it was illegal entry at the southern border, whether it 257 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 2: was stopping doing DNA tests for kids that were being 258 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: that were entering the country without an adult that was 259 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: related to them. We know that traffickers were bringing kids 260 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 2: and women in and then they were being trafficked into 261 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: labor gangs and sex trafficking rings and drug trafficking and gangs. 262 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 2: So these are things we know. Look how much effort 263 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 2: they put into making illegal legal in that regard, and 264 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: then you look at these sweeps that they could have 265 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: been doing. But chose not to do. You look at 266 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 2: how they handled a lot of what was going on 267 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: with the Chinese Communist Party, I mean, Lisa, the list 268 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 2: goes on and on, and it's one of the reasons 269 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 2: the American people voted resoundingly on November fifth to stop this. 270 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: They were tired of trying to make illegal legal. They 271 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 2: were tired of two tears of justice. They were tired 272 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 2: of an open border, tired of fentanyl flooding their communities, 273 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 2: tired of crime in their streets. 274 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: Ope, and we've just got a fight to keep the majority. 275 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: Senator Marshall Blackburn, it's always an honor to have you 276 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: on the show.
