Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today we're going to have one of my favorite senators
on this show, Senator Marshall Blackburn from Tennessee. Of course,
you know we're as a powerhouse in the Senate, but
she serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we're going
to talk about hearing they just held on the growing
injunctions that have been issued against President Trump. We've sort
of seen this judicial chaos clashing with the executive office.
(00:20):
So what can Congress do about it? Can they restore balance?
You know, what's the plan of action? Also, she has
asked the Trump administration to resurrect drug interdiction at airports.
So why did Joe Biden ditch it and what's at
stake with that. We'll also discuss President Trump's Liberation Day
where it has threatened these reciprocal tariffs on other countries,
(00:42):
this global trade showdown that we're about to see. What
does it mean for you at home? What should we
know about it? And lastly, with midterms on the horizon,
we'll talk about the Republican Party's fate without President Trump
on the ballot, particularly coming off of the special elections
in Florida as well as the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
What can Republicans do to get voters motivated to turn
(01:05):
out even with President Trump in office, but he's not
going to be on the ballot. We'll talk about all
of that with Senator Marshall Blackburn. Stay tuned well, Senator
Marshall Blackburn, It's always an honor to have you on
the show. Love having you on. You're awesome, So we
always appreciate you making the time. So thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Absolutely, I'm delighted to join you. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So I want to dig in to you're on the
Senate Judiciary Committee. There's a hearing titled Rule by District
Judges to Exploring legislative solutions to the bipartisan problem of
universal Injunctions. Walk us through the hearing, the goal of it,
the importance of it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, you know, Lisa, our problem is that you have
district federal judges that are trying to overrule the president
and the executive branch, and of course we have a
separation of powers. So our hearing that we've just concluded
(02:09):
focused on this overreach and focused on what is happening
to policies that the Trump administration is putting forward that
the left does not like, and they're trying to squash
those policies. Now, here's an example for you. During the
month of February, President Trump had fifteen nationwide injunctions issued
(02:35):
against his policies. Fifteen. Now, during the entire four years
of Joe Biden, there were fourteen nationwide injunctions issued against
Joe Biden and his policies. So this shows you the
aggressiveness of the left. What we do know is they're
going to the judicial branch because they lost.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
At the ballot box.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The American people rejected what they were offering and said, no,
we're tired of two tears of justice. We're tired of
being broke, tired of inflation, tired of an open border,
tired of illegal immigration, we are tired of a diminishing
standing in the world. So they elected Donald Trump. He
(03:23):
had the electoral and the popular vote. So now he
is implementing this agenda that the American people voted for.
The left does not like that they lost. They can't
get passed through Congress. What they want, which is more
power and control over you, more of your hard earned
(03:46):
tax dollars so they can waste it on projects that
have probably outlived their usefulness. And the NGOs that are
not delivering a service that benefits the country. Now the
left has turned to the courts and they're saying, do
the dirty work for us. Stop this, and that is
(04:08):
why you have district courts stepping in and issuing these injunctions.
You've got a judge out in San Francisco that filed
an injunction and it is forcing people to be rehired
after they had been terminated. You have other judges that
(04:30):
are going after some of the Doze efforts where we're
trying to save the taxpayer money and be able to
get this thirty six trillion dollar debt under control, and
lo and behold, they're trying to stop it and force
the federal government to have money we don't have to
(04:51):
spend money we don't have in the bank.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I mean, I totally know. It's totally ridiculous in you
and of the hearing the Senate Judiciary term in Chok
Grassley had said that since the court's in the executive
branch are on an unsustainable collision course, Congress must step
in and provide clarity. He said that you guys are
looking to explore legislative solutions to bring the balance of
power back and check I guess what can Congress do
(05:13):
about it? Is probably the question, you know, the audio
audience is wondering, what can you guys do about it? Legislatively?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yes, and we do have legislation that would provide that
clarification that the district court has no ability to issue
a nationwide injunction. The jurisdiction of a district judge is
limited to the case in front of him and the
application to the district which he serves. We do appreciate
(05:44):
that holding hearings, filing bills, trying to move things through
the House and Senate elevates the issue. And we do
appreciate that you're going to see Justice Roberts have to
step in on this issue.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
So today's Liberation Day. Obviously we're recording this podcast before
President Trump, you know, gives this big announcement about what
exactly we should expect from these reciprocal tariffs that will happen.
What are you expecting and what do you think the
impact will be from it?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah? I think, Lisa, that we're going to see President
Trump lay out the plan for reciprocity. If somebody is
tariffing us at ten percent, will do likewise. And we
have heard him say repeatedly he wants reciprocal tariffs. I
fully believe that bringing some clarity around that so that
(06:45):
you don't have a lot of these prognosticators assuming what
they are what it will or will not be, and
that brings uncertainty to the marketplace. I think that President Trump,
speaking defend relatively on the issue, is going to bring
some clarity and some calm to the market. We know
(07:08):
that President Trump's goal is to return manufacturing to the
United States to empower US workers, and that is a
goal that we all share, and we're pleased that we
have a president who is putting the United States and
our workers and our economy first. And that should this
(07:35):
business of what we have seen with China stealing our
intellectual property, taking our jobs, and then turning around and
sending us a virus that had such an impact. President
Trump is correct to say we're going to look at tariffs,
(07:56):
We're going to be fair, We're going to be reciprocal,
and we're going to end this US paying a state
tariff and them paying no tariff.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You know, I guess so I agree with the long term,
like I do, believe we need this course correction. You
can look at NATA. You can look at China's entry
in the World Trade Organization and you can see how that,
you know, one push manufacturers overseas, particularly to Mexico with NAFTA,
and then you know, with China's entry in the World
Trade Organization, there's just this influx of cheap goods. So
(08:29):
I agree with sort of the long term outlook on
it and the course correction. It's just will there be
short term pain? And what does that short term pain
mean for us in the midterms. You know, obviously we
saw these races last night. Fortunately, Republicans held on to
the two House seats in the special elections, but you know,
we lost the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by ten and
(08:50):
those margins and the House races were much less than
you know, we saw in prior elections. So I mean,
what does that all mean? I guess for you know,
and then we're not going to have President Trump's in office,
but we're not going to have them on the ballot
driving turnout. So I guess what does this all sort
of collectively mean for the Republican Party moving forward, particularly
looking ahead at the midterms.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
And as we talk about getting inflation down and dealing
with the unfair tariff issue. As we talk about the
savings we're yielding for the American people through our efforts
with DOGE. I fully believe that you're going to see
us with a very successful midterm in the midst of
(09:35):
all of this.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
And when you look at.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
The mainstream media, you know, Lisa, it's a lot of
naysayers and it's a lot of negative They continue to
try to make people believe that Republicans are trying to
cut Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security, all of which
is not true. And they're trying to make people believe
(09:58):
that they're going to be these very steep tariffs, which
we know they're going to settle in at reciprocal tariffs.
So I think the message, getting our message out there
is going to be important. Our goal is to pass
President Trump's agenda. Our goal is to make certain that
(10:21):
we get inflation down and that we energize the US economy,
that we reduce the size of the federal government, that
we cut spending, and that we focus on our nation's
solvency and our sovereignty. That's an imperative for future generations,
(10:44):
and we cannot sustain this kind of debt thirty six
trillion dollars in debt. What does that do to our
children and grandchildren? See, every citizen's share of this debt
now is a little over one hundred thousand dollars. And
when you think of it in that vein and you
(11:04):
have kids and grandkids that are trying to work and
trying to buy a house and trying to start a
family and build a career, and that type burden is
something that passing that on to our children and grandchildren
I think is an immoral action. We should get this
(11:26):
under control, and it's going to be a heavy lift,
but we can do it, and we should.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Do it, you know, an you're right. Look the experts say,
you know, I said this on TV the other day,
like the two things we should have all learned from
the past few years is one, never underestimate President Trump.
And then two, you know, the experts tend to not
be experts these days. So it's like that's true, you know,
like and all this criticism of terrorism really really haven't
had a president pushing it since, you know, President Trump,
(11:54):
So I think it's sort of just the unknown for
a lot of people. But you know, never underestimate. What
should we expect for getting this big, beautiful bill done
in the Senate and also expanding these tax cut, the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts into perpetuity.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yes, and as we work on that, the sentence approach
is to use current policy and make the tax cuts
from twenty seventeen permanent. We also are wanting to reinstitute
the credits for R and D, bonus depreciation, and interest.
(12:35):
We want to get to President Trump's desire for no
tax on tips or over time, and no tax on
Social Security, which by the way, is a piece of
legislation I've drafted. We also want to make certain that
the money is there to rebuild our military. When you
look at what has happened with China and the way
(12:59):
they are growing their Blue Water Navy, the way that
they are exercising the Belton Road Initiative and are setting
up ports whether you're talking about Sri Lanka or a Djibouti,
and the attention we need to give.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
To these issues.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It is imperative that we move forward with the reconciliation bill. Now.
The DOGE cuts we can do in a recision bill
that can travel alongside, can't go into a reconciliation, but
it can travel alongside a reconciliation, and that is where
(13:40):
we can put those doge cuts and codify those so
we're actually cutting into the baseline and cutting that spending out.
That helps us to lower that baseline for the coming
years and helps us to save that money for our
kids and grandkids.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
We've got more, Senator Blackburn. But first, According to a
recent study, as many as twenty percent of women who
undergo chemical abortions suffer complications, including a shocking number of deaths.
Did you know that the Biden administration loosened restrictions by
not requiring the NIH to report injuries caused by this
toxic pill. This pill continues to bring harm to mothers
(14:20):
and babies, and yet accounts for over sixty percent of abortions.
Preborn's network of clinics are flooded daily with women seeking
help after taking this pill, regretting their decision, and some
even coming in with the aborted baby's remains, not knowing
what to do with them. How horrific, Preborn welcomes these
women with open arms and offers them life saving help,
including the abortion pill reversal treatment. If it's not too late,
(14:43):
when you sponsor an ultrasound for a woman in crisis.
You are empowering that woman to make real choices. Please
join us as we rescue women and babies. One ultrasound
is only twenty eight dollars and one hundred and forty
dollars helps to rescue five babies. You won't regret the
choice to save a life. Please dial pound two fifty
and say the keyword baby. That's pound two fifty baby,
(15:05):
or visit preborn dot com slash booth that's preborn dot
com slash booth sponsored by Preborn. I wanted to ask
you on something I know you're passionate about about encouraging
the Trump administration to restart drug restart drug interdiction efforts
at the nation's airports and transportation facilities. Why did the
(15:26):
Biden administration shutter that effort and what should people know
about it?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yes, and this is an issue we're trying to get
those restarted. This is an issue that came to us
by people that work in this area. And I have
no idea why the Biden administration stopped doing these searches
at the transit facilities. And we know that you have
(15:55):
some of these offshore illist drug producers that are shipping
this in flying it in coming in through the mail,
and to reinstitute these checks, whether it is at our
nation's airport or these air facilities cargo facilities, we need
(16:21):
to make certain that is done immediately.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well, the I think when you said I don't know
why the Biden administration, you could probably fill in that blank.
After anything, I just don't know why they did anything
that they did.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
That's true, That's exactly right. You know. The thing that
the thing that gets me about the administration is when
you look back at it, and we talked about this
sum during the administration, they put so much time, effort,
and energy and trying to make illegal actions legal, whether
(16:57):
it was illegal entry at the southern border, whether it
was stopping doing DNA tests for kids that were being
that were entering the country without an adult that was
related to them. We know that traffickers were bringing kids
(17:20):
and women in and then they were being trafficked into
labor gangs and sex trafficking rings and drug trafficking and gangs.
So these are things we know. Look how much effort
they put into making illegal legal in that regard, and
(17:42):
then you look at these sweeps that they could have
been doing. But chose not to do. You look at
how they handled a lot of what was going on
with the Chinese Communist Party, I mean, Lisa, the list
goes on and on, and it's one of the reasons
the American people voted resoundingly on November fifth to stop this.
(18:06):
They were tired of trying to make illegal legal. They
were tired of two tears of justice. They were tired
of an open border, tired of fentanyl flooding their communities,
tired of crime in their streets.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Ope, and we've just got a fight to keep the majority.
Senator Marshall Blackburn, it's always an honor to have you
on the show. We truly appreciate what you do in
the Senate and also just taking the time to join us.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oh, delighted to join you. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That was Senator Marshall Blackburn of the Great State of Tennessee.
We appreciate her taking the time to join the show.
Appreciate you guys at home for listening every Tuesday and Thursday,
but you can listen throughout the week until next time.
Today we're going to have one of my favorite senators

Speaker 1 (08:08):
You know, I guess so I agree with the long term,
like I do, believe we need this course correction. You
can look at NATA. You can look at China's entry
in the World Trade Organization and you can see how that,
you know, one push manufacturers overseas, particularly to Mexico with NAFTA,
and then you know, with China's entry in the World

(08:29):
I agree with sort of the long term outlook on

Speaker 2 (09:11):
And as we talk about getting inflation down and dealing

with DOGE. I fully believe that you're going to see
us with a very successful midterm in the midst of
(09:35):
all of this.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
And when you look at.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
The mainstream media, you know, Lisa, it's a lot of
naysayers and it's a lot of negative They continue to
try to make people believe that Republicans are trying to
cut Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security, all of which
is not true. And they're trying to make people believe

when you think of it in that vein and you
(11:04):
have kids and grandkids that are trying to work and
trying to buy a house and trying to start a
family and build a career, and that type burden is
something that passing that on to our children and grandchildren
I think is an immoral action. We should get this
(11:26):
under control, and it's going to be a heavy lift,
but we can do it, and we should.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Do it, you know, an you're right. Look the experts say,
you know, I said this on TV the other day,
like the two things we should have all learned from
the past few years is one, never underestimate President Trump.
And then two, you know, the experts tend to not
be experts these days. So it's like that's true, you know,
like and all this criticism of terrorism really really haven't
had a president pushing it since, you know, President Trump,
(11:54):
So I think it's sort of just the unknown for
a lot of people. But you know, never underestimate. What
should we expect for getting this big, beautiful bill done
in the Senate and also expanding these tax cut, the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts into perpetuity.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yes, and as we work on that, the sentence approach
is to use current policy and make the tax cuts
from twenty seventeen permanent. We also are wanting to reinstitute
the credits for R and D, bonus depreciation, and interest.
(12:35):
We want to get to President Trump's desire for no
tax on tips or over time, and no tax on
Social Security, which by the way, is a piece of
legislation I've drafted. We also want to make certain that
the money is there to rebuild our military. When you
look at what has happened with China and the way
(12:59):
they are growing their Blue Water Navy, the way that
they are exercising the Belton Road Initiative and are setting
up ports whether you're talking about Sri Lanka or a Djibouti,
and the attention we need to give.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
To these issues.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It is imperative that we move forward with the reconciliation bill. Now.
The DOGE cuts we can do in a recision bill
that can travel alongside, can't go into a reconciliation, but
it can travel alongside a reconciliation, and that is where
(13:40):
we can put those doge cuts and codify those so
we're actually cutting into the baseline and cutting that spending out.
That helps us to lower that baseline for the coming
years and helps us to save that money for our
kids and grandkids.
Speaker 1 (14:00):

or visit preborn dot com slash booth that's preborn dot
com slash booth sponsored by Preborn. I wanted to ask
you on something I know you're passionate about about encouraging
the Trump administration to restart drug restart drug interdiction efforts
at the nation's airports and transportation facilities. Why did the
(15:26):
Biden administration shutter that effort and what should people know
about it?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yes, and this is an issue we're trying to get
those restarted. This is an issue that came to us
by people that work in this area. And I have
no idea why the Biden administration stopped doing these searches
at the transit facilities. And we know that you have
(15:55):
some of these offshore illist drug producers that are shipping
this in flying it in coming in through the mail,
and to reinstitute these checks, whether it is at our
nation's airport or these air facilities cargo facilities, we need
(16:21):
to make certain that is done immediately.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well, the I think when you said I don't know
why the Biden administration, you could probably fill in that blank.
After anything, I just don't know why they did anything
that they did.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
That's true, That's exactly right. You know. The thing that
the thing that gets me about the administration is when
you look back at it, and we talked about this
sum during the administration, they put so much time, effort,
and energy and trying to make illegal actions legal, whether
(16:57):
it was illegal entry at the southern border, whether it
was stopping doing DNA tests for kids that were being
that were entering the country without an adult that was
related to them. We know that traffickers were bringing kids
(17:20):
and women in and then they were being trafficked into
labor gangs and sex trafficking rings and drug trafficking and gangs.
So these are things we know. Look how much effort
they put into making illegal legal in that regard, and
(17:42):
then you look at these sweeps that they could have
been doing. But chose not to do. You look at
how they handled a lot of what was going on
with the Chinese Communist Party, I mean, Lisa, the list
goes on and on, and it's one of the reasons
the American people voted resoundingly on November fifth to stop this.
(18:06):
They were tired of trying to make illegal legal. They
were tired of two tears of justice. They were tired
of an open border, tired of fentanyl flooding their communities,
tired of crime in their streets.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Ope, and we've just got a fight to keep the majority.
Senator Marshall Blackburn, it's always an honor to have you
on the show. We truly appreciate what you do in
the Senate and also just taking the time to join us.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oh, delighted to join you. Thank you.

That was Senator Marshall Blackburn of the Great State of Tennessee.
We appreciate her taking the time to join the show.
Appreciate you guys at home for listening every Tuesday and Thursday,
but you can listen throughout the week until next time.
