Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include:

On President Trump’s tax cuts and plan for economic revival in the United States: 

“Welcome to the world of Donald Trump. He did talk about decreasing the tax cuts to 15%, and I want Americans to remember what happened when we decreased it from 35% to 21%. I think number one is we saw record growth in federal government tax revenues, but we also saw 401k’s jump as well – so I think that this makes perfect sense to me. President Trump, the great negotiator out there – jobs, jobs, jobs. President Trump is trying to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States.”

“This is part of President Trump’s America First agenda. If you think about manufacturing, it’s energy cost, and then people – the labor is what determines what we can manufacture, the raw material. So I think he’s kind of thinking about all these pieces of the puzzle…” 

On manufacturers returning to the Americas from China:

“A lot of this is dependent upon raw earth materials – so I think you’ve already seen a lot of the manufacturers are bringing that to South America, and then a lot of it’s moving to Vietnam as well. India is doing a lot of it as well. So we need to keep moving those out of the Chinese market. Just like I told my farmers, you cannot depend on China, and I think all these big group purchasing organizations got caught with their pants down during COVID, and have realized that, and are indeed starting to move them back to the Americas.” 

On President Trump’s executive order removing the United States from the WHO: 

“We should have gotten out of the WHO years ago. To your point, what you’re describing when the World Health Organization said there was no person-to-person transmission, that COVID was already in three different countries… but yet they were denying it.”

“I couldn’t agree with you more, the World Health Organization has gotten way outside of what its mission set should be. They should be focusing on clean water, on clean sewage, vaccines as well. But instead, they’re way outside of their mission. And they are bought and paid for by China.”

On President Trump’s executive order requiring NATO countries to pay 5% of their GDP on defense: 

“I was over in Belgium recently. NATO has made a huge, huge, incredible office building… and I said to myself, well, how many troops would that have paid for?”

“[Europe] has over 100,000 of our troops. My son was one of them – just getting back from Poland – in Europe, protecting them. Europe needs to take care of themselves. Italy alone has a GDP the size of Russia. So certainly, Europe should be able to defend themselves against Russia. I don’t understand why we need that much money for NATO either.”
