Highlights from the interview include:

On what the Senate can do for the ‘One, Big Beautiful Bill’:

Senator Marshall: “President Trump is the best closer in the country. Mike Johnson gave us the best bill that he could get passed over there. Think of the Senate as like a saucer and think of the House as a hot cup of coffee, and it’s spilling over. The job of the Senate is to take that bill and make it better.

“I think for us over here, what I’m looking at is, where can we save some more taxpayers dollars? Where are the opportunities to cut some spending? What do we do with those SALT taxes? So, I think that’s the big thrust over here. How can we make this bill better? How can we deliver on President Trump’s promises, no tax on tips, overtime, Social Security, and make the Trump tax cuts permanent?”

On SALT:  

Senator Marshall: “In these big blue states, they have high taxes, and they’re able to deduct that from their federal taxes… What the House has done will still cost American taxpayers $300 billion over the next 10 years. They’re going to let people from these blue states write off up to $30,000 of their taxes, which will decrease revenue to the state.

“It is that simple to the tune of $300 billion over 10 years. So, what else could we do with that $300 billion? We could deliver the president’s Golden Dome, that would be one simple thing, and more. We would take that money and make Medicaid and Medicare even better. There’s just better ways to spend that money. We can use it to secure the border, to help our military out, to give our troops more wages…”

On the president’s ‘One, Big Beautiful Bill’:

Senator Marshall: “What we did with Social Security since, by the law, we cannot touch Social Security, but what we did is we’re giving seniors a $4,000 tax credit, in addition… We increased the Child Tax Credit. Republicans doubled the tax credit in 2017 with this bill, and now we increased it another $500. So we increased the tax deduction for having children to $2,500 as well, so that would be another answer. A little second amendment, we’ve slipped in there. There’s some rules and regulations around what I would call a silencer, a muffler on guns, that type of thing. So, there are a whole lot of low-hanging fruit in here.”

“The Golden Dome is in here, President Trump’s Golden Dome, the first down payment on some type of satellite system to help intercept nuclear warheads, that type of thing. Huge pay raises for our troops, for the border patrol officers, and funding to help get those illegal aliens out of this country. We have 400,000 violent criminal aliens in this country… Charlie, it may cost $100,000 per person to escort them out of this country. Thank you. Joe Biden.”

“And we’ll take care of that for four years. We don’t have to go back to the Democrats every year and say, hey, we want money for the border. We want money for the military. We have significant money in here to take care of the military for the most part, for four years, and the president’s border security and the removal of illegal aliens.”

On the MAHA Commission report:

Senator Marshall: “Look, I think number one when I think about Make America Healthy Again is 60% of Americans have a chronic disease of some sort, most of it is nutritionally related or related to toxins. So, I expect this MAHA report to talk about the importance of soil health and the nutrient quality that we’re feeding to, especially our children… I’m especially concerned about the children getting them off on the right foot as well. The toxins that they’re being exposed to are probably in these ultra-processed foods.”

“70% of the calories Americans consume are an ultra-processed food. I think that they’ll address that… Gold standard science. I really, as a doctor, can’t sit there and say, what type of oil is best to cook supper in tonight? Is it soybean oil? Is it tallow? What is it? So, we need gold-standard research, not influenced by commercial operations. Look, 50-60% of Americans are on a prescription drug right now, and I think we want to look into what that’s all about.”
