I think we have to pass it. Look, this is a small bite at the apple; this is basically the President\u2019s supplemental bill. Since the Democrats are not going to do anything to help Donald Trump, this is the only way we can get some aid to farmers, fund the military, and then take a small bite as far as the SAVE Act goes. We\u2019ll be funding any state that wants to do voter ID \u2014 this will fund it. But I\u2019m not satisfied, Maria \u2014 I think we need to go much, much further on this, I think we need to get Democrats on the record. Let\u2019s put a bill on the floor asking just for voter ID and see if we can get one Democrat, let alone 10, across the finish line. 80 to 90% of Americans want voter ID, but we\u2019ll pass this little bill in the Senate too, I think, with the 50 votes we need.\u201d\n\nOn passing portions of the SAVE Act to require voter ID:\n\n\u201cWell, certainly, in the SAVE Act, it has the proof of citizenship; it has guardrails around the mail-in ballots. But if they\u2019re objecting to different pieces of all the SAVE Act, then let\u2019s just do it one piece at a time. You cannot get a Democrat to commit to voter ID, so I want Americans to see that. And then the next week, I want to get them on the record on proof of citizenship \u2014 don\u2019t give them any wiggle room; let\u2019s just make it really simple for them.\u201d\n\n\u201cWell, Maria, I couldn\u2019t agree with you more. But I think if we can\u2019t get them on the record for voter ID, how are we ever going to get them on the record for proof of citizenship? I would love to pass the whole thing. I\u2019m trying to find a path to show America that Democrats don\u2019t even believe in voter ID, let alone proof of citizenship. And this is so important to our faith in our democracy. This voting election integrity is so important to our faith in our own government.\u201d\n\nOn the Democrats\u2019 plan to cause another government shutdown:\n\n\u201cWell, not as much as the price of gasoline. I think what people are going to be seeing September 30th, though, is that once again the Democrats are going to shut the government down. Just like they will not vote for this supplemental bill \u2014 call it a reconciliation bill \u2014 now they won\u2019t vote for voter ID. They voted against ICE funding, they voted against funding for the military just two weeks ago as well, so I think September 30th, what the voters are going to see up front and personal, is the Democrats shutting the government down. And that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that we as Republicans continue to focus on the price of gasoline and groceries, and that\u2019s certainly my intention.\u201d\n\nOn supporting the President\u2019s defense budget:\n\n\u201cYeah, well, Maria, maybe I\u2019m not quite comfortable with the $1.5 trillion. I\u2019m comfortable with the $1.1 trillion dollars, which was in the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act, that the Democrats voted against. I\u2019m supporting what President Trump is doing right now. I\u2019m mourning the loss of more soldiers \u2014 as you know, I served, my dad served, my brother served, my son is serving. I hate war as only a soldier who\u2019s lived it can. But the doctor in me says the benefits of us being there outweigh the risk \u2014 we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. At the same time, I don\u2019t want boots on the ground; I don\u2019t want a forever war. And yet, we got to pay attention to these gas and groceries. Look, I want this war to be over very quickly, but we cannot ever let Iran have nuclear weapons.\u201d\n\nOn Republican wins message heading into the midterms:\n\n\u201cRight. Well, the Republicans are the party of prosperity and security. Your borders are secure, and murder rates are at a 100-year low as well. In Kansas, I think it\u2019s the best economy I\u2019ve ever seen, thanks to the Working Family Tax Cuts Bill \u2014 manufacturing is booming, great cattle markets, oil and gas industry is very stable as well. We have work to do in agriculture, but no one\u2019s done more for agriculture than this president and the Republican Party as well. So, we\u2019re going to continue to message what we\u2019ve done. But we are the party of prosperity and security; the Democrats remain defund the police, defund the military, raise your taxes. And we\u2019re the party that gave you the largest tax cut and the largest spending cut in American history. And we\u2019re starting to see the benefits from that \u2014 I\u2019m especially excited about what I\u2019m seeing in manufacturing across the state of Kansas.\u201d\n\nOn Senator Marshall\u2019s call for a special counsel investigation into Dr. Fauci:\n\n\u201cYeah, Maria. And you know this is of course, one of the autopen pardons \u2014 and that\u2019s one of our requests for this special investigation that we\u2019re asking the Justice Department to do. Look, why is this important? A million people \u2014 a million Americans \u2014 died; 20 million Americans still have long COVID; loved ones suffered; our children suffered from not getting to go to school. You know all the things that affected us from COVID \u2014 and there was no accountability. Thanks to Tulsi Gabbard \u2014 she unleashed a treasure trove of documents right as she was leaving that really confirm everything that my informants have told me. Anthony Fauci not only funded the research in Wuhan, he led the charge for covering it up. Look, this makes Watergate look like a situation where some kids broke a window at recess, and they\u2019re trying to hide that from their teacher. This cover up was exponential in so many ways as well. And then he covered up whistleblowers \u2014 somehow, he was able to suppress whistleblowers as well. And that\u2019s why we need a special investigation. Rand Paul will do everything he can here; he\u2019s brilliant, and he knows this inside and out as well, but Fauci is going to take the fifth. That\u2019s probably what he\u2019ll do because he should go to jail, and we should certainly be stopping all of his government pensions as well.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-21T07:32:02Z", "2026-07-21T07:33:33Z"]], "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-reconciliation-3-0-doesnt-go-far-enough-on-election-security/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 4.338027909398079, "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"}
