Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include:

On President Trump’s nominees, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, advancing out of committee this week: 

“This feels like I’m in a barroom brawl right now with President Trump and these Democrats – and guess who’s really good at barroom brawls? That’s President Trump. We’ve got them on the run.”

“Big news is we did get out of committee Tulsi as well as Bobby Kennedy Junior. There was a couple of Republicans we were kind of worried about, appreciate them coming through. The Democrats are going to do everything they can to slow this down. That’s why we’re working weekends.”

“They can try to slow us down, but we’re still ahead of Joe Biden’s pace to get his nominees, and right there at pace with what Barack Obama got done. So we know how to fight, we know how to play these games. We need to get these people across the finish line, bring these disruptors to the forefront, and help President Trump fulfill his agenda. 

On the millions of taxpayer dollars wasted by fraud and abuse at USAID:

“Last year alone, the federal government spent $250 billion of improper payments – $250 billion of improper payments. The people of America elected President Trump to come in there to be a disrupter, to get rid of this waste and fraud.”

“USAID is a great example. We’ll pause it. We’ll figure out where the fraud is going on, the waste and abuse, maybe bring it into under Marco Rubio’s control, and make that a better department as well.”
