WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined “The Will Cain Show” on Fox to recap attending Super Bowl LIX with President Trump and react to President Trump’s announcement that he will be deputizing IRS agents to help with immigration enforcement. Senator Tuberville also discussed President Trump’s dismissal of the Board of Visitors for each of the U.S. military service academies.
Excerpts from Senator Tuberville’s interview can be found below, and his full interview can be found on YouTube or Rumble.
CAIN: “Coach joins us now. Coach, great to have you again here on the Will Can Show. You were there. You were in the stadium with President Trump. There’s a headline today from CBS with a new approval poll out that shows that Donald Trump is doing overwhelmingly well, record-setting approval ratings with not just men, which is to be noted. Both virtually, everyone in America setting records, energetic first weeks doing what he promised. Did you feel that last night at the Superdome?”
TUBERVILLE: “Oh, a hundred percent. There was there was two winners last night—Donald Trump and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles just totally dominated the line of scrimmage, Will. It was just unbelievable. I would’ve never believed it, but they did. And as you said, you well noticed this, they didn’t even blitz. They didn’t blitz one time, and he still controlled the line of scrimmage. But Donald Trump was a huge hit there last night, first president ever to go to a Super Bowl, amazing feat there, but as you said, the loser also was the halftime show.” […]
CAIN: “Thank you for your editorial judgement, Coach—who has asked me to call him Coach, it’s not an act of lack of self-respect. It’s he said, ‘Will, I prefer you to call me ‘Coach’ instead of ‘Senator.’’ So I am gonna move to your other job now, Coach, and that is this. This is notable on the to do list. President Trump deputizing IRS agents to enforce under DHS illegal immigration. This is quite a move to think that 80,000—by the way—IRS agents were hired under Joe Biden. Donald Trump redeploys them to fight illegal immigration.”
TUBERVILLE: “Yeah, get them out of their house. They’re sitting at home, harassing the American citizens about their taxes. President Trump’s gonna get them off the couch, get them out of out the front of the television, and send them on the road to help where they actually can help, what an idea. Right? We’ve got way too many IRS agents. The American people need a break here, but we need we do need a lot of help at the border.”
CAIN: “Imagine that. How about law enforcement folks on those that break the law, those that are in this country illegally and aid going to actual Americans and not to people of foreign countries. You sit on the Armed Services Committee, Senator, and I found this very notable today. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, then President Trump pointed out they’re gonna dissolve the Board of Visitors for the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, and the Coast Guard academies. They don’t like what they’ve seen become of these academies.”
TUBERVILLE: “Yeah, we’re having a lot of problems with academies. Some are better than others, Will. I’m the Chairman of the Personnel [Sub]committee on Armed Services and we’re gonna get to the bottom of it. But President Trump just basically let all the Board of Visitors go…. He will replace everybody on there. We’ll put some good people, people that really love the military, wanna build a fighting machine along with Pete and work well together. But, you know, the Air Force Academy is having huge problems. The Naval Academy is having not quite as many. West Point is doing pretty good, but we still got a lot of work to do. But, we need to be one hundred percent teaching these young men and women how to control and fight a war, and it all starts there with our leaders in the military academies.”
CAIN: “We’ve seen the numbers on the recruiting increases over the last couple of months with the appointment of the new Secretary of Defense. And it’s looking to put the United States military back on the right foot that attracts the best young men and women of merit into serving this country. Senator, Coach, it’s always good to see you. Thank you for being with us today.”
TUBERVILLE: “You too, Will. I saw Jerry Jones last night, our team’s owner. He said he’s coming back.”
CAIN: “Oh, well, that’s good. I need somebody to put a good word for our Dallas Cowboys. Thank you, Coach.”
TUBERVILLE: “You got it.”
Senator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate and is a member of the Senate Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans’ Affairs, HELP, and Aging Committees.
