Senator Grassley takes on the issue of national injunctions, where judges impose rulings that affect the entire country, not just their district

32 minutes

Senator Chuck Grassley discusses his efforts to rein in activist federal judges who issue national injunctions, affecting the entire country rather than just their district. He highlighted the issue of judges taking free junkets, which can influence their decisions. Grassley also addresses the Biden administration's mishandling of unaccompanied minors at the border, noting that 200,000 children were lost track of, and some were sent to families connected to MS-13. He emphasizes the need for bipartisan support to address these issues and praised the new FBI director for addressing unanswered oversight letters. Grassley also advocates for the reinstatement of whistleblowers who lost their jobs for exposing wrongdoing. Additionally, Congressman Marlon Stutzman discusses the impact of President Trump's tariffs on global trade, particularly on American farmers and producers. Stutzman highlights the historical disadvantages faced by American beef farmers due to Mad Cow Disease restrictions, which allowed Australia to build its beef industry. He emphasizes the need for fair trade rather than free trade, noting that the U.S. has been disadvantaged in defending its allies. Stutzman also mentions the positive economic impact of Trump's policies, including tax reforms, energy policies, and deregulation, which have attracted significant investments from companies like Oracle and Nvidia. He believes these policies will sustain economic growth and maintain America's global economic leadership. Finally, West Virginia has banned seven artificial food dyes due to their harmful effects, setting a precedent for other states. Senator Chris Rose talks about the legislation, highlighting the state's reputation as the least healthy and the need to address attention disorders and carcinogens linked to these dyes. Despite industry resistance, Rose notes that healthier alternatives are available and cheaper, citing examples like Aldi. The state is also considering a SNAP program waiver to remove sugary drinks. Governor Morrisey's "Mountaineer Mile" initiative aims to promote health. Rose emphasizes the need for a coalition of states, including Texas and Florida, to push for federal action on food safety.
