At Fort Knox, we've come to see the gold! Our country has about a hundred and forty-seven million ounces of gold, and about half of it is stored here at Fort Knox. We're gonna be going deep underground to see the gold, but more importantly, we're gonna be talking today about what happened to our dollar when we separated from gold in 1971. I'm going underground, and I'll let you know what I see in a little bit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just because I push back on President Donald J. Trump doesn’t mean I don’t think he’s the best president of our lifetime. I’d pick him every time over a socialist like Harris or a Biden who can’t even do the job. On many things, when it comes to lower taxes and less regulation, he gets it.

I voted no on both impeachments. I voted for nearly all of Trump’s cabinet—just one exception. I backed his tax cuts in his first term. We can disagree and still be allies. But this bill raises the debt ceiling more than ever before in history. If Congress can’t even cut $9B of DOGE cuts, we’ve got a serious problem.
