Senator Marshall Joins Fox Business
Washington - U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), joined Fox Business, The Bottom Line with Jackie DeAngelis and Lou Basenese to discuss the Senate's priorities before recess, including the SAVE America Act, how Democrats want you to show ID to buy groceries but not to vote, and how Dr. Fauci needs to be held accountable for the suffering caused by his lies.

On the Senate's priorities before recess:
"Well, look, we need to fund the government. That's a very simple, immediate priority: give the American people certainty through the end of November, and after then we see who wins the election, and that'll help determine the priorities for the financials. But the biggest long-term issue that this Congress could take on is making voter ID required across the nation for our elections. Think about this - I just read on X moments ago that Mayor Mamdani, the head of the big government socialist party, just said that to get your free food from his communist grocery store, that you have to show an ID. So, you have to show an ID for a grocery store, but not to vote?"
On passing the SAVE America Act:
"So, it can be. Now the question is, do we have the will? I do think we'll go through this reconciliation bill that includes money for the military, some farm aid, as well as the SAVE America Act that insists on voter ID, proof of citizenship when you register, and guardrails around the mail-in ballots. Now, the question is, what is the parliamentarian going to do to that? Will we be able to get through the hurdle, if you will? But I'm very willing to stay till recess is over and I think that we should put the Democrats on the record and vote for them one at a time. Have them vote on voter ID, have them vote on proof of citizenship, have them vote on the mail-in ballot issue - get them on record. That way, when they go home over August, their own constituents can beat the heck out of them. Again, 80-90% of Americans want voter ID."
"Well, it's possible. You know, if we can get one or two of them to flip, then I think we can get eight more to flip as well. And my hope is that when they go back home is that their own constituents put the pressure on them. Look, even Democrats - what is it, 70% of Democrats are in favor of voter ID as well. So, get them on the record, make this what we're talking about on national television, not about some of the things that they want to talk about. Let's talk about voter ID, let's talk about the 80-20 issues that Republicans want to talk about - your safety, your prosperity, that's what we want to be talking about as Republicans."
On Dr. Fauci's Senate hearing and the consequences of his deception:
"Yeah, I mean, for the sake of the one million people that died, the 20 million people with long COVID, the millions of Americans who had a loved one pass away by themselves, the kids who missed their senior year of high school - we need closure on that. And this hearing was just the tip of the iceberg, and that's why we need a special counsel to go out and investigate the 111 lies that he told the American public as well. And go back and review the autopen pardon as well. Is that something legitimate? What does the Supreme Court think about that? So yes, we need that special counsel; we need to hold someone accountable, and someone probably needs to go to jail - but at least give up his government retirement plan."
"Right, and again, we just talked about the tip of the iceberg. What he told the American public was something different than he wrote in his diary - whether it was about the origins of the virus or if the vaccine would stop the spread as well. So, what he told his diary was different than what he told the American public; he deceived the American public, and he lied to President Trump. Whether he lied to Congress or he just slowed down the progress of Congress, I think that's up to a jury to decide. This is one more reason we need a full-time Attorney General back in place so he can appoint this special counsel."
