We lost over a million Americans to COVID, we had 20 million Americans with long COVID \u2014 so we need to know the truth here. You know, to your point, he exaggerated to Congress the mortality rate by a multiple of 10 \u2014 not just a little bit, but by a multiple of 10. In late January 2020, he was saying that this virus- he himself probably knew where it came from- but he was describing this event at the dry market outside of the Wuhan lab. He described that as a spreader event, but he presented that to America as where the virus started from. Look, he misled the President, he misled the American people, and then he obstructed Congress. Very consistently we see two different worlds here: the world in Anthony Fauci\u2019s diary versus what he was telling the American public.\u201d\n\nOn the Patients Deserve Price Tags Act:\n\n\u201cWell, listen, I came to Congress to bring down the cost of health care, and the number one thing we could do is have price tags for patients \u2014 patients deserve price tags, not surprise billing. So, what this bill does is force every healthcare provider to show you the price up front, so they can compete. Just like when you go to the grocery store, you stand in front of the meat locker, and you\u2019re trying to decide \u2014 should I pick hamburger, should I pick pork, should I buy bacon, should I buy chicken? You deserve to know the prices up front, and that\u2019s what this bill does. It passed through committee 22 to 1, so that\u2019s very good news for it. Now we need to find a way to get it to the Senate floor for a vote. President Trump is supporting this bill. I\u2019ve spoken with him and we\u2019ve texted back and forth on it, the House has a similar bill. This could bring down the cost of health care $1,000 a month. If you talk about the cost of living being an issue this fall \u2014 this is the number one bill that Congress can do to bring down the cost of living. We just got to get it to the Senate floor now, and it\u2019ll pass with flying colors.\u201d\n\nOn John Thune\u2019s leadership and the SAVE America Act:\n\n\u201cI\u2019m going to have to take a breath there. I think it\u2019s great that the President demands excellence, and I support voter integrity \u2014 I want voter ID to pass. I want it to be in every state as well, and so does John Thune. John Thune supports the SAVE America Act \u2014 we have 50 votes that would pass that. The real question is why aren\u2019t 10 Democrats willing to vote for voter ID? But the Republican caucus is not ready to get rid of the filibuster. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s 15 of us that would vote to remove the filibuster. I\u2019m one of them, and I changed my mind in the past year when I saw the Democrats obstruct everything \u2014 when they wouldn\u2019t fund ICE, and recently they won\u2019t fund the military. Then I gave up on them, right? So, I\u2019m willing to do it, but John Thune cannot change the mind of probably 35 other people \u2014 I don\u2019t think Moses could change their mind. Look, I think that we didn\u2019t just walk into a room here and then suddenly start thinking about this filibuster. I mean, people up here have thought about this for decades ahead of me. So, it\u2019s going to take more than John Thune saying, \u2018Hey, and we want to get rid of the filibuster.\u2019 It\u2019ll take a lot. John Thune\u2019s doing a great job; he\u2019s got great leadership skills \u2014 he\u2019s one of the best listeners I\u2019ve ever known. The best listening leader I\u2019ve ever known.\u201d\n\nOn Senator Lindsey Graham\u2019s memorial service today:\n\n\u201cYeah, you know he was the closest thing to Johnny Carson that I ever met. Bright, witty \u2014 but his wit always had a purpose, right? There was a purpose to his wit, to his jokes. By kind of ribbing people, he was able to get his agenda \u2014 always with a smile. I loved working on the Budget Committee with him. What people probably don\u2019t know is that Lindsey Graham had an encyclopedic knowledge of the Bible. Now I don\u2019t know where that came from, but on these late nights when you\u2019re up all night voting or playing games with the Democrats, he would entertain us and ask people questions about the Bible as well. So, I think that people don\u2019t understand he was a person of faith. And look, I\u2019m a person of faith, you all are people of faith, most of your listeners are, and we\u2019ll miss Lindsey. We\u2019ll just miss him. He was one of my besties; we\u2019re going to miss him a lot, and you know it just still hasn\u2019t sunk in, I think, for most of us. So, it\u2019s a good step today to have the service here at the Capitol.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-29T07:41:48Z", "2026-07-29T07:42:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.marshall.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senator-marshall-dr-fauci-misled-the-american-people/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7239589467644691, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
