Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include:
On President Trump’s proposed tariffs on Colombia:
“This whole week’s been nothing but shock and awe. It’s been a blitzkrieg for Donald Trump. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a leader like this, so this sends a clear message to all the leaders – don’t mess with the United States right now, that we have a new sheriff in charge.”
“What was impressive was the speed this came out. In years past, this would take weeks for a policy to develop. There’s President Trump between swings saying, enough of this – Colombia, take back your criminals. So indeed, a new sheriff in town.”
On Scott Bessent passing Senate confirmation to become the next Secretary of the Treasury:
“Of course, I voted yes, and it went through with flying colors, 68 to 29. Scott Bessent is approved to be your next Secretary of the Treasury. Scott’s going to do a great job. He’s going to bring some South Carolina common sense to everything here. He was raised in a small town, but yet he’s financially brilliant, so I think he’ll be part of the solution as we work forward on the legislation and balancing our budget.”
