Yellowhammer Times

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) appeared on Fox Business with Larry Kudlow to discuss recent reports of violence against ICE agents and Border Patrol officers. The discussion focused on concerns about attacks on law enforcement and criticism of Democratic policies regarding border security.

During the interview, Kudlow referenced media reports from outlets such as the Daily Caller and Axios that suggest some grassroots members of the Democratic Party are encouraging violent resistance against law enforcement officers. He asked for Senator Tuberville’s response to these claims.

“Well, first of all, it was a disaster what the Biden administration did for four years—open borders, it was insane. Senator Scott and I went down several times. You can’t put a number on what it is number one, gonna cost the American taxpayers over the next years to get all these illegals back out of the country. But the law and order in this country—and Rick will talk about this too—is vital. You can be educated, you can have money, you can have everything you want as an American citizen—if you don’t have safe streets and neighborhoods, you don’t have anything. And so, we have to take our country back. The Democrats did this on purpose. It was all by design. They want to run over our law and order. They want social justice people running our police departments. That’s not gonna happen. I’m all for ICE. If you need to defend yourself, shoot back. Do not take this from these people. Do not take it from the Democrats. We have to take our country and neighborhoods back,” said Tuberville.

Kudlow continued by referencing Tom Homan’s earlier appearance on the show and expressed concern about violence committed by individuals who entered the United States illegally.

“But, it’s like who do these Democrats represent? They’re insane. I mean, they represent actual criminals. People that are selling drugs to our kids to kill them. People that have murdered and raped people—[the Democrats are] out trying to make sure they don’t go to jail. And then the people that are trying to put them in jail, they wanna kill them, these ICE agents and Border Patrol. These Democrats have gone crazy, but this is—as Coach Tuberville said—this is all designed by the Democrats. They wanted to change this country by opening up the border to criminals and drug traffickers and terrorists, and they’ve done it. Donald Trump has got his work cut out for him, but he’s gonna do it. We’re gonna clean up this country,” said Scott.

The conversation also touched on New York City politics when Kudlow mentioned a local official he described as wanting city-run grocery stores while opposing cooperation with ICE.

“Well, you know, he’s showing his stripes. And I don’t think this will fly, even with the people in New York. You never know. But at the end of the day, the guy is truly a communist. He believes in the government taking care of everybody, and that doesn’t work in the greatest country ever. You can just go to Venezuela, some of the other countries.If he does win,you can sackthe batsin New York,Larry.We will take you in Alabama in a heartbeat.We’ll putyoua TV studio up,and we’ll let you preachthe gospelfromthe Stateof Alabama,” replied Tuberville.

Senator Tommy Tuberville serves Alabama in the United States Senate where he sits on several committees including Armed Services; Agriculture; Veterans’ Affairs; Health Education Labor & Pensions (HELP); and Aging.
