There should never be a situation where any Republican who campaigned on President Donald J. Trump’s America First agenda turns around & rallies with Democrats to poison-pill a straightforward bill funding ICE & Border Patrol. I shot down this unrelated amendment, and we got the funding passed.

The Democrat tantrum has lasted a whopping 9 hours today. I just had to object yet another far-left proposal to punish agents enforcing our immigration laws. Democrats walked away from funding border patrol months ago, they do not get to offer poison pill amendments.

11 hours later, I'm still standing in the way of Democrats attempting to hijack border security funding.

I’d vote for it if we got real spending cuts. But this bill is the largest debt increase in U.S. history—$5T. That’s like giving your 16-year-old a credit card, watching them rack up $2K on booze and gambling, then raising their limit to $10K. Irresponsible.

I support bold reforms to Social Security to guarantee its long-term solvency. With Americans living longer, real change is non-negotiable. That’s why I’ve proposed raising the full retirement age to 70—a necessary step to keep Social Security sustainable for future generations. If we want this program to survive, we must act now.

The hemp provision in this appropriations package wipes out nearly 100% of legal hemp products overnight: killing jobs, crushing farmers, and overriding 23 state laws that already regulate hemp responsibly. Our farmers have turned to hemp as a lifeline when fertilizer, fuel, and equipment costs skyrocketed and crop prices fell. Instead of working with us to crack down on bad actors and synthetic cannabinoids, some in Congress chose prohibition. Kentucky jobs are not collateral. Our farmers are not bargaining chips.

We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong. We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida. We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution! Everyone gets a trial because sometimes, the system gets it wrong. Even the worst of the worst in our country get due process. The bottom line is that execution without process is not justice, and blowing up foreign ships is a recipe for chaos.

A war with Iran would make Iraq look like a skirmish. If your goal were to bankrupt America and destabilize the world, dragging us into another endless Middle East war would be the way to do it. That’s why I’m glad President Donald J. Trump promised—and brought the country together—on a commitment to peace, not more war.

Two people survived one of the recent boat strikes. They were not detained, not checked for drugs, not prosecuted. They were sent back to be tried in their own country. If the strike was based on the assumption that the boat was carrying drugs, and the survivors weren’t even investigated, do we suspect government simply didn’t have enough proof in the first place? The Constitution requires Congress to authorize war. Until then treat this as law enforcement, not warfare. Lesson to be learned: Adhering to due process prevents chaos and protects the Fourth Amendment. You don’t maintain order by abandoning the Constitution.

I’ve been pretty consistent in my time in the Senate: I oppose deficit spending—no matter which party is in charge. If we don’t get serious about reigning in the debt, the next generation will pay the price. Fiscal responsibility isn’t a campaign slogan. It’s a duty which I take very seriously.

Remember, I forced senators to go on the record with a vote on my amendment to eliminate $5 billion in refugee welfare fraud. Disappointingly, 20 Republicans opposed protecting taxpayer dollars. I’m also a co-sponsor of the SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID and strengthen election integrity nationwide. A majority of Americans, regardless of party, support showing ID to vote—there’s no reason to delay a floor vote any longer. Thanks for having me on, Benny Johnson.

No, I don’t hate old people in fact, I aspire to be one and I’d like Social Security to still exist. However, that does not mean math doesn't exist: at this rate, Social Security runs out in 2034 and, if we're to do nothing, everyone gets a 25% cut. We can fix it the same way we did in 1983: gradually raise the age, means-test benefits, and save the program without taxing working families into the ground. That means a little reform now instead of a massive cut later. Reforming Social Security isn’t about taking, it’s about keeping our promises. We can protect seniors and future generations if we’re willing to be honest about the numbers. Thanks for having me Charles V Payne on FOX Business.

Tomorrow, a CIA whistleblower will testify before my committee that the intelligence community has covered up the origins of COVID for years. Evidence shows the US government funded research in Wuhan, and the resulting virus likely escaped from the lab. The cover-up is real—Americans deserve the truth.
