Senator Marsha Blackburn was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about the threat of foreign actors and how they are undermining US interests.
“I was reading earlier open-source intelligence, and their reporting that US officials suspect China or Russia may be feeding Iran targeted data after Tehran struck sensitive sites with an unusual precision,” Bartiromo said.
“With unusual precision, how are they finding out specifically where our bases and information infrastructure is? Do you believe China is behind it?” Bartiromo asked.
“Of course, China is involved in this, Maria. China is part of that axis of evil. You’ve got Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. They are partners in this, and we know that they are sharing data. We know that they have been building, Iran has been building drones that Russia is using as they are fighting Ukraine,” Blackburn said.
“You look at this neighborhood that they have developed with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, and you know their goal, China’s goal is to be globally dominant by 2050,” Blackburn warned.
“It is one of the reasons we have to block some of this activity that they are doing in the Middle East with Russia, and also with Cuba,” Blackburn continued.
Bartiromo and Senator Blackburn also talked about the reconciliation bill that will be voted on in the House. The military budget that President Trump is asking for in 2027 is at around $1.5 trillion.
