BLACKBURN.
BUT YOU TWO ARE GREAT.
WE GO TO TENNESSEE SENATOR
MARSHA BLACKBURN.
MA’AM, YOU HAVE GOT TO HELP ME.
YOU HAVE GOT TO STOP THIS
INSANITY OF A NEW NUCLEAR DEAL
WITH RUSSIA WHICH AMONG OTHER
THINGS IS A REWARD -- THEY ARE
NEGOTIATING WITH RUSSIA IN THE
MIDDLE OF THIS UKRAINE BUSINESS.
YOU HAVE GOT TO STOP IT, MA’AM.
>> YEAH.
YOU KNOW, LARRY, YOU HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT THIS.
RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE.
RUSSIA HAS THREATENED TO USE
NEXT JAR WEAPONS.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DIDN’T
DO WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING TO
KEEP RUSSIA IN CHECK AND KEEP
THEM OUT OF UKRAINE.
NOW THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
HAD NEGOTIATORS IN VIENNA AND
THEY ARE TRYING TO DO A NEW IRAN
NUCLEAR DEAL, AND ASSISTING WITH
THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE THE
RUSSIANS.
PART OF THIS IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL
WOULD BE TO BRING RUSSIAN OIL
COMING INTO THE U.S. AND IRANIAN
OIL COMING INTO THE U.S.
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP.
WE DON’T NEED A NEW IRAN DEAL.
WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER
IRAN DEAL.
PRESIDENT BIDEN GOT US OUT OF
THAT.
WE DO NOT WANT RUSSIAN OIL.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT
IT’S GOING TO TAKE JOE BIDEN TO
REALIZE KEYSTONE PIPELINE.
830,000 BARRELS OF OIL A DAY.
DO IT.
STOP IMPORTING 670,000 BARRELS
OF OIL A DAY.
MAKE CERTAIN THAT WHAT YOU ARE
DOING IS STRENGTHENING OUR
ECONOMY AND GETTING INFLATION
UNDER CONTROL BY GOING BACK TO
DRILLING ON FEDERAL LANDS,
HAVING LEASES.
GO BACK, OPEN UP ALASKA.
OFFSHORE DRILLING, GO BACK TO
FRACKING.
WE AN ENERGY-DRIVEN ECONOMY.
RIGHT NOW, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE
VOLUME OF POWER GENERATION THAT
YOU NEED TO SUPPORT AN
ENERGY-DRIVEN ECONOMY.
LARRY: ONE OF THE THOUGHTS I
HAVE ON THIS IRANIAN BUSINESS,
THEY WILL TRY TO GO AROUND THE
SENATE AGAIN THE WAY OBAMA DID.
THIS SHOULD BE A TREATY WITH THE
ADVICE AND CONSENTS OF THE
SENATE.
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO.
GET A CABAL OF PEOPLE ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE BEFORE THIS
MADNESS CONTINUES?
>> WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT.
LARRY: TELL US.
>> WE SENT A MESSAGE LOUD AND
CLEAR THAT WE DO NOT WANT
ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO EVEN
RESEMBLE THAT OLD IRAN NUCLEAR
DEAL.
IRAN IS TRYING TO GET A SHORTCUT
TO A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
WE KNOW RUSSIA, CHINA, IRAN,
NORTH KOREA, THAT’S YOUR NEW
AXIS OF EVIL.
WE CANNOT TRUST ANY OF THEM.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO STAY FOCUSED
ON THAT AND STAY RESOLUTE.
AND DO EVERYTHING TO SUPPORT
UKRAINE.
THIS IS A TIME FOR US TO PUSH
BACK AND DEFEAT RUSSIA.
IT IS NOT A TIME TO BUY MORE OIL
AND PROP UP THEIR ECONOMY.
LARRY: YOU HAVE GOT SOME
DEMOCRATS WHO YOU THINK IN THE
SENATE WHO WILL WORK AGAINST AN
IRANIAN DEAL?
>> I DO.
I THINK PEOPLE RIGHT NOW ARE
WATCHING, THEY ARE PAYING CLOSE
ATTENTION.
I HAVE LEGISLATION THAT WOULD REMOVE -- THE SENSE OF THE
REMOVE -- THE SENSE OF THE
SENATE TO YOU TO SUPPORT THE REM
RUSSIA FROM THE U.S. SECURITY
COUNCIL.
AND SUPPORT REMOVING RUSSIA FROM
THE SWIFT BANKING SYSTEM IN ITS
ENTIRETY SO THEY CANNOT PROCESS
THESE TRANSACTIONS FOR SELLING
FUEL.
O.
LARRY, WE ARE WATCHING CLOSELY
TO SEE HOW MUCH CHINA IS GOING
TO SUPPORT RUSSIA AS THEY MOVE
THROUGH THIS.
THERE AGAIN, KEEPING RUSSIA FROM
COZYING UP WITH IRAN AND TRYING
TO SELL THAT IRANIAN OIL INTO
THE U.S.
WE DON’T NEED IT.
LARRY: ONE MORE QUICKLY.
ON THIS WARMED OVER
REGURGITATION STATE OF THE UNION
MESSAGE FROM BIDEN AND IT’S
BUILD BACK BROKE ALL OVER AGAIN.
CAN WE GET -- WHATEVER THE
DETAILS OF WHAT RICK SCOTT IS
PUTTING TOGETHER.
THE IDEA OF HAVING A REPUBLICAN
ALTERNATIVE WITH A DIVISION FOR
PHYSICAL SANITY DOESN’T STRIKE
ME AS A VERY BAD IDEA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> WELL, LARRY, AS YOU ARE WELL
AWARE FOR YEARS.
I PROPOSED WE DO ZERO BASED
BUDGETING INSTEAD BASE SHINE
BUDGETING AND A FREED ON FEDERAL
EMPLOYMENT AND WE DO 5% ACROSS
THE BOARD SPENDING CUTS, BECAUSE
THAT IS HOW YOU BEGIN TO REIN IN
SPENDING.
YOU CAN MAKE THOSE CUTSING TO
EVERYTHING BUT DEFENSE, AND OF
COURSE YOU HAVE YOUR MEDICARE
PROGRAM, YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
PROGRAM.
YOU DON’T TOUCH ANY OF THOSE
PROGRAMS.
BUT YOU GET IN THERE AND YOU
BEGIN TO ROOT OUT WASTE, FRAUD
AND ABUSE WHEN YOU BEGIN TO DO
ZERO-BASED BUDGETING.
AND ACROSS THE BOARD SPENDING
CUTS.
PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH
REVIEWING EVERY ITEM THAT THEY
ARE GOING TO SPEND A TAXPAYER
DOLLAR ON.
LARRY: I’M CALLING IT A VISION
