Thom Tillis

the president has made it clear today that the so-called anti-weaponization fund is still alive, which is exactly why we are attempting to formally end it. Anyone who attack law enforcement should still be in prison, not getting a check from the federal government.

Host / other voice

the concerns are from John Cornyn of Texas, Thom Tillis of North Carolina. And they are worried about that anti-weaponization fund from the DOJ that was created a few months ago before it was eventually canceled.

Host / other voice

The two senators we're talking about are Senator John Cornyn of Texas, Senator Thom Tillis from North Carolina. And they say unless those two things happen, they will not support Todd Blanche's nomination.

Thom Tillis

I have been trying to explain for nearly a year that the SAVE Act, whether it's the SAVE Act, the SAVE Act, the new SAVE legislation that's being proposed in the House, save goes to Hollywood, save goes to Hawaii, whatever the sequels are, all of them are fundamentally flawed and impossible to implement by this election.

Host / other voice

North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis calls this all theater. He says the Save America Act is dead. It's quite simple. It's a math problem. We simply don't have the votes and the Save America Act will not be implemented in time for this election.

Host / other voice

Senator Thom Tillis. Senator Lisa Mikowski. Senator Susan Collins. And Senator Mitch McConnell. Do you want to know why you should be mad at them? Well, they had a chance last night... Those four joined with Democrats to vote it down.

I love your focus on the independence of the Fed. I love the idea of Fed independence with respect to achieving the dual mandate, but Fed transparency on so many other things that the Fed does that, frankly, we're all frustrated with.

Host / other voice

Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis say they will not vote to confirm Todd Blanche until the administration addresses concerns over two key parts of a settlement agreement between Trump and the IRS.

Thom Tillis

this is yet another unforced error from a secretary leading the Pentagon with broculture bravado rather than restraint, humility and careful stewardship of the finest fighting force in the world.

Host / other voice

Thom Tillis, who's one of the Republican senators on the banking committee, has said he won't allow warship to move forward to the Senate floor until the probe against Powell is dropped.

Host / other voice

Thombolina, Thom Tillis of North Carolina stands in the way. He pretends he doesn't, but he knew North Carolina voters were about to fire him, so he announced his retirement.

Host / other voice

Thom Tillis in North Carolina is making the same argument. He says, no, no, in rural areas, like in North Carolina, to ask people to show proof of citizenship, they can't do it.
