Border crisis has reached an alarming level.

0:01 Speaker 1 With us this morning is Starnator Marshall Blackburn, and she has a lot of concerns about all the things going on in our country and internationally. A Senator of Blackburn, Howards Tennessee, Tennessee is surviving all the stupidity going on.

0:23 Speaker 2 Tennesseeans are a resilient people and you know where the volunteer state, so John, Tennesseeans want to help the rest of the country get back on track, and of course that is something that you’re going to see them do this year as we look at the elections coming up in November. Here are some of the things that we

0:45 hear about from people as we’re out and about, and I have found not only is it Tennessee, but it’s across the country. People are very concerned about what is going on at the southern border and that open border and how Biden is not doing anything to secure it. Likewise, they are concerned about crime in the communities. And now

1:10 we’re hearing them talk a lot about what is going on on these college campuses with these professional protesters that are coming onto the campuses and some of these terrorist organization related groups that have been meeting with students for months and planning these protests, teaching and training students how you go about carrying out a protest. People have just

1:42 been astoanded to learn that, and John, I think they’re even more astounded that President Biden does not do something about it.

1:54 Speaker 1 And the thing that’s going on is a lot of the protesters are paid agitators. And we can’t get an exact number of how many of students, how many are paid agitators and the effects on the rest of the students in the universities and accomlisses, because I’ll give you an example of Columbia, thousands and thousands of students are

2:22 suffering because of two hundred, three hundred, four hundred students deciding to create habits. How do we handle this? I mean, shoudn’t the university presidents just put their foot downt.

2:38 Speaker 2 Oh? Of course, you’re exactly right. And you can see there are some schools that have had basically no problem with this, and then there are other schools that are letting these agitators and anarchists come into the campus and create havoc. When you look at some of these elite universities that have had to cancel graduation, when you look

3:07 at what is happening with some of these universities and the way the students have commandeered buildings. And then the leadership of the university tries to negotiate with these people, and Northwestern being one of them, saying, okay, we’ll give Palestinian professors some of these coveted spots. We will reserve full ride scholarships for Palestinians. Think about what they are doing.

3:45 And then of course we learn that Biden now is saying he is going to bring Palestinian refugees to the US because no one in their neighborhood wants to take them.

3:59 Speaker 1 There is a Chasian countries, adjacent countries don’t want them. Each of us don’t want them. Well, you know.

4:08 Speaker 2 That’s right, because they know that the Palestinians voted to us is their government. They know that seventy one percent of the Palestinians have said they approve of the October seventh attacks. So the people in the neighborhood are saying, no, we don’t, we don’t want you to come here.

4:35 Speaker 1 It’s to bring these people into America, into our cities, and some of them, some of them are going to be guaranteed going to be terrorists. They’re just going to hurt American citizens. They just don’t understand it well.

4:52 Speaker 2 We would, we would hope that the President will reverse course on this because the damage that is being done to our country is immeasurable. Look at what happened with the Afghanistan refugees. We got out a few thousands that were Sids that had been helpful to us. We got out a few thousand Americans. There are Americans that were

5:17 left and out of the seventy seven thousand people that we brought out of there, about seventy thousand of them are people that were not properly vetted. And today, if you go ask the Department of State or the Department of Defense where are these individuals, more likely than not they are not going to know. And now to say

5:44 they’re going to repeat that with the Palestinians because we don’t and bring them in. Already the government tells us they cannot properly vet people that are coming to our southern border. We’ve had tens of thousands of people from countries of interest. We have had twenty four thousand plus Chinese last year. Already this year, six months into this

6:16 fiscal year, we have had twenty five thousand Chinese and we have a Department of Homeland Security that is not properly vetting these individuals. And now on top of what happened with Afghanistan, on top of what is happening at the southern border. Now President Biden goes around saying, well, we’re going to bring the Palestinians in.

6:47 Speaker 1 It’s it’s not right. And I think the American people finally have to realize that. Tell me, what else keeps you up at three o’clock in the morning.

6:59 Speaker 2 Well, you know, we have been busy here at Capitol Hill because we’re playing a lot of block and tackle. And every day this administration comes forward with some something that is another bad idea, and just when you think you’ve heard it all, John, they come forward with something else.

7:22 And it doesn’t matter if it is dealing with the issue of inflation. The decisions they make drive up the cost of energy, drive up the cost of inflation, and the cost of food. And this is one of those taxes on the American people. And then also you look at the things that affect our national security and the

7:44 security across our country. One thing that we have been able to push successfully to completion is a piece of legislation I have that President Biden did son into law this week. It is called the Report Act. And what this will do is help protect our children that are being sexually exploited and grooved and trafficked in the virtual space.

8:15 And this is going to require these social media platforms to report bad actors online, people that not only are posting and distributing child sexual abuse material, but people that are pushing kids into sextortion or that are trafficking children.

8:41 We know that a child is being traffic bought or sold for sex once every two minutes in this country, and so this will increase that reporting to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. We are changing and increasing their retention time that can keep this material from ninety days to a year, so that law enforcement prosecutors

9:12 have the ability to get these cases filed, get these pedophiles and predators into court, complete those cases, and get these people locked up.

9:24 Speaker 1 Understood. The other thing that bothers me, Senator is President Biden is holding back weapons from Israel, and there are ally versus they weren’t the attackers.

9:43 Speaker 2 That’s exactly right. We should be standing fully, completely, entirely with Israel. There should never be a doubt as to where we are. And we see that it is so vitally important that we stand with Israel. And for Joe Biden to come out here and say, okay, we are going to We’re going to block this shipment of weaponry.

10:19 Now bear in mind, this is not what they’re using in Rafa, but this is what they would need for a longer range defense. This is part of their asymmetric battle posture that they need. And now Joe Biden, because he doesn’t want Israel going into Rafa, what he is doing is disobeying what Congress voted to do, which was

10:48 to give Israel what they need. So this shows you, first of all, Joe Biden is not going to keep his word to the Israelis. But secondly, he is not going to do what Congress says do and Congress voted for this aide to go to Israel, and now he’s defying that and is saying he’s going to stop it,

11:12 just like he has defined the Supreme Court when it comes to student owns. I mean, he is showing he has no respect for Congress, for the rule of law, no respect for the leadership of other countries, no respect for Israel and the decisions that they’re making to protect themselves and their people.

11:38 Speaker 1 Understood. Senators, thank you for coming on this Sunday morning. And God bless you, God bless the State of Tennessee and America. And let’s create that the Americans make the right decision on November fifth. You got it.

11:56 Speaker 2 Take care of my friend. Bye bye,
