joining me tennessee senator marsha blackburn. this morning, marsha blackburn keeping big tech in check. this is something you've been passionate about for years. so what's your thoughts on these latest developments? >> yes, charles, you're right. reining in big tech is something i spent much of my time in congress on. i'm so pleased to see so many people in a bipartisan manner joining me on this right now. when it comes to doj going after google, what we've done, look at their ad stack. we have focused on how they go in and they preference people who advertise with them. that means their ads are going to show up first. they are going to be the ones positioned on the screen that are going to draw your attention. if you are going through and you're doing some research and say you've got your search engine going, trying to pull up information on something, the advertisers, with google, those that use google services, those that use google payment services, are going to populate that search result first. so as we talk about bringing

joining me now to discuss tennessee republican senator marsha blackburn.tennessee. you were invested in taylor swift's success. i don't know think that government and senate is answer to every problem we face, why is this so pressing? >>s reason we brought this issue forward, is because it is not only the taylor swift concert and those tickets, this is something that we've been hearing about for the last few years. even back in 2016, when i was in the house, senator schumer in senate, we teamed up, passed the bot's acted gave the ftc the authority to enforce, investigate, to bring penalties and punishment to these bot networks, and the people that own the bot networks and resell the tickets. the ftc has the authority they have only used to one time, consumers are saying, look at what is happening. we're also hearing from venue owners, en entertainers and tour directors, about how live nation and ticketmaster use their power of the marketplace and capturing a tremendous amount of data, you can only use the tickets if you are going to go in the digital walle

marsha blackburn is taking charge leading a separate delegation inside the del rio sector. she is leading an all-female group getting a close look at the human cost of the crisis. >> this is a humanitarian crisis of the utmost proportion and we have to take it seriously both for national security and to end that for these men, women and children who are being utilized by these cartels. >> you look at our nation and where we are. every thing under president biden has been moving in the wrong direction. >> we can't tell the good guys from the bad guys when everybody comes across. it is insane that the united states of america is allowing this to happen on our borders. >> these cartels are making money off of moving people, smuggling people. there should be bipartisan agreement that this has got to stop. >> harris: senator marsha blackburn from the great state of tennessee is at the border in "focus" now. senator, first of all i really appreciate you going out at night and seeing the people cross into this country aened some of them had to have been wearing camo. the drug cart

both parties are fiscally irresponsible, here is response from marsha blackburn, shes if it is fiscallyd, not sure what you call president biden's leadership. ronny jackson saying attacking republicans while washington democrats spent at historic levels to fund the green new deal is hypocritical. national debt is trillions of dollars, president biden is bragging about reducing the deficit, let's beer cloo issue the deficit went down because covid spending was pulled back, it wasn't something president biden did, it was in the works. >> carley: you don't reduce the deficit when you pass the reduction act or infrastructure bill. major dollars. >> cheryl: overall point, inflation is coming down, fair enough, but we are 6.5%, that is nothing to be celebrated. >> todd: are your eggs down? no, eggs are $10 a carton, it is ridiculous. >> carley: what about wyoming? >> cheryl: a group of lawmakers in wyoming want to ban sales of new electric vehicles by between the35, they say they are major oil and gas producer and jobs are dependent on the industry, they will go after electric vehicles. liste

elizabeth: good to see you. >> back with us now from senate judiciary marsha blackburn. pleasure having you on. the e-mail we reported on last night, it is a dramatic accusation, we're checking. hunter biden allegedly used classified materials to profit off business deals involving energy in ukraine . what is your take on this? >> what you see here is a pattern. that i'm sure is very unsettling to biden incorporated. for years, they have done is to trade on joe biden's name. that is whether hunter biden appears to have been good at doing. saying, i'm a biden, hire me, that is what you see in this pattern. they talk about building a long-term relationship, they talk about how they can be valuable to ukraine burisma to expand their growth. one thing that i noticed, they say go to a 7-eleven or cvs and buy a cell phone. elizabeth: a burner phone. >> looking to get a burner phone in their hands to use to communicate so there would be no tracking. elizabeth: the other thing that is coming out of this e-mail hunter biden details an escalation of russia destabe laying pushing e

senator marsha blackburn is heading to the border today and senator blackburn joins me now. big picture. how do we get this thing under control? >> stuart? there are a few things the president should do immediately. end catch and release. put the remain in mexico in place. keep title 42 and give the border patrol what they have been asking for for three decades, which is a barrier that is build the wall, better technology, and more agents on on the ground. stuart: but he's not going to do any of the above, so how do you -- what are you going to do? >> what we're going to do is continue to push to enforce the laws that are on the books. you know, immigration law in the country hasn't changed since 1996 and you didn't have clinton and bush and obama and trump having the problem biden has had 4.3 million illegal aliens coming to that southern border since he became president. 16,000 pounds of fentanyl was apprehended last year. that's enough to kill 3.3 billion people. the cartels have turned human trafficking into a $13 billion a year business. the president and the vice presi

>> martha: marsha blackburn is making a great point. untold story that needs to have a lot more attention i think for a long time is human trafficking. and there are people dedicating their entire lives in this country to stopping human trafficking that is going on down there. these young girls were told basically if your family pays this amount of money we will get you a job in the united states. they get here and they are being essentially. they have no agency whatsoever so i give senator blackburn a lot of credit and it's what the president didn't see in it's not time to have your eyes open and say let's go like we said yesterday, just drop me in there and don't tell anyone i'm coming because i want to really see what's going on how many points when he for that? >> b>> harris: while he didn't drop them with his troops either, the biden administration considering a nationwide ban on gas stoves and cooktops. how will that happen? you can't cook the way you want to anymore. >> brian: over eats. ♪ ♪ or wet food. it's not burnt brown pell

. >> tennessee republican senator marsha blackburn recently visited the southern border.ith the ongoing migrant crisis there. senator, thank you for being with us this evening. what did you see? >> what i saw was a border that is wide open. what we heard was that the cartels are fully in charge of that border on the mexico side. you do not cross that border without pegging the cartel first. we also had quite a bit of conversation about how big the cartels are. people from 150 different countries came into the border last year. the cartels making $13 billion last year on human trafficking alone. and then you hear about the criminal aliens that have come to the border. 143 apprehended right there in eagle pass where griff is reporting it. these are people that have committed felonies. they are committing manslaughter, rape. aggravated robbery. armed robbery. these are serious crimes. they served their time, they been deported, they are coming back to the border and they will not stay there in eagle pass. they are going to your community every town is a border town every sta

take a look at senator marsha blackburn from tennessee, she tweeted, the footage released tonight is difficult to watch. my office has been in contact with doj and will continue to work with our federal and local officials. i am confident to the memphis police department and state of tennessee will conduct a thorough investigation. doug is next in washington. doug, are you there? no. let's go to vince in georgia. caller: first of all, my heart goes out to tyre nichols family. as everyone has said, the video was hard to watch. my thing is, who is hiring these police officers all across our land who are doing these horrible acts? the one idea i come up with is, why don't we, we hired to these officers but, when you hire them we hire them under contract. it works with teachers, the first 12 years of an officers service, every two years he does his contract out for review. if he does well, doing good things for the community, doing a good job, he gets a raise. if not, his contract has ended and he's gone because, these guys, it's unbelievable that some of these officers have been on the

three republican senators led by tennessee's marsha blackburn along with alabama's katie brit, only beenne week and mississippi's cindy hyde-smith. they saw the drone footage, literally today of migrants crossing the river as the senators stood behind me, watching them come across. they watched the smuggler come across the river, go back to get another group. they were able to speak with the migrants directly. ask them about their situation. they are from ecuador, the dominican republic and also cuba. one of the cubans was an elderly grandmother visibly shaken and exhausted. they saw discarded i.d.s from the migrants who don't want to be identified in hopes they won't be title 42 if they're identified from president haiti, venezuela, cuba, and of course anything rock nicaragua. they toke had us and said they missed an opportunity to see what they saw in el paso. >> took them 718 days to get to the border. took me six. you have got to come, got to see it. tough ask for the real unvarnished truth. tough tell these courageous men and women who are on border patrol, national guard, what not,

. >> marsha blackburn republican senator says if wanting a balanced budget is fiscally demented i'm notou call the economic devastation under president biden's leadership. congressman jim banks thinks the president's chosen venue for that comment was inappropriate. >> it's shameful that this guy would use mlk day to lie to the american people. there has never been a president in american history along with his friends in congress who have spent more money than this president has over the last couple of years. >> i know i get criticized from some of you and folks in your party -- my party, i'm ready to work with the new republican house on any republican or any republican congress to make progress for the people of america. >> are these remarks that happened at a lunch honoring dr. martin luther king jr.'s legacy in the spirit of dr. king's legacy? we don't know. but we do now see that president biden isn't going to sit around giving vague no comments about classified documents. he does still have a country to run. back to you. >> steve: peter, i heard a beeping. i thought the corvette w

one of those senators, marsha blackburn of tennessee will join me live from the border.pray with us players. the question for him, could we see more prayer in sports like we did for damar hamlin? coach joe kennedy and jason chaffetz. "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> dana: president biden left thousands without jobs when he canceled the keystone pipeline after taking office. to add insult to injury the administration's department of energy admitting the pipeline could have created up to 59,000 jobs and added more than $9 billion to the economy. mr. allen was laid off after biden canceled the pipeline. we hope you are doing well. what did you think when you first heard this? i assume you thought we all knew this at the time but now they are finally admitting it. >> it's what you call karma. coming around to bite him right in the butt is what it will do. the american people are hurting right now to where they can't hardly afford to buy food. you look at what drives the united states of america that fills these grocery stores and our goods is diesel. and we've got to

you we shot this a few hours ago when this all republican female senate delegation made up of marsha blackburnf tennessee, katie britt of alabama, only on the job one week, as well as cindy hyde-smith of mississippi. you see them under the bridge behind me. they were watching as this group you'll see as we descend down from over the bridge, this group of cuban migrants here in the middle, a grandmother well into her 70s struggling through the currents to come across. this is what president biden did not see, migrants putting their life savings into crossing, putting their hands into the dangers of river currents and cartels to make their way here. the senators saw the migrants and they also spoke to them about their plight, their journey, the dangers they faced once they made it up the road into custody when they turned themselves in here where we are standing. here is a little bit of what the senators had to say about the grip that the cartels have on our border. listen. >> these cartels are making money off of moving people, smuggling people off of the sex trafficking, ruining the lives of t

we were talking with senator marsha blackburn a day ago.he was wanting some emphasis on it so a bit of a disappointment from local leaders and some in washington that there's not more of an emphasis on the human smuggling part of this border crisis. neil we'll send it back to you. neil: and its gotten to be a bigger part of it griff jenkins thank you very very much. meanwhile, look who the wind blew in. guess whose here, bill melugin. i think you know this guy. just never seen him indoors anywhere, but he's here now. fox news correspondent extraordinaire. he was on this story, remains on this story certainly before anyone else and i was saying and not just to throw wind at you, that if not for you this story would not be in the national discourse. simply would not. how has it changed over the years? >> the way its changed, i mean, when i first started covering this back in may 2021 i thought a group of 50 or 100 migrants was big, you know? neil: right. >> fast forward to where we are now we look and see a group of 500, 600 crossing and it's

. >> ainsley: marsha blackburn is touring the border with group of other women senators.ne. remember, it started in october. they apprehended 143 individuals convicted of crimes here in the u.s. we have a picture of that chety, guy down there on the border is attacking the migrants, using this machete and robbing them. they are trafficking humans, they are trafficking fentanyl, the border crossings are dangerous not only to americans but also to the migrants. >> when you make promises you can cross the border illegally, be released into the united states, when you tell ice they can't arrest you because you are simply here illegally, the most vulnerable people in the world are going to put themselves in the hands of criminal cartels to come to the greatest nation on earth. there's already been over 1700 migrants dead on u.s. soil. it was record by far, right? add that to over 100,000 americans dead from fentanyl. this administration's policies are killing people. let me tell you this, president trump, when illegal immigration walls down 80%. how many women weren't being se
