Senator Marshall Joins Fox News Sunday Morning Futures

Washington - U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures to discuss Dr. Fauci's lies to the American people and how he can be brought to justice, the Senate's priorities next week including the SAVE America Act, and why voter ID requirements must be passed before the Senate leaves on recess.

On Dr. Fauci's Senate hearing:

"Yeah, Maria, well, good morning. I think, you know, first of all, Fauci was literally shaking as he read his opening statement. And through that hearing, he took body blow after body blow, and eventually, when it's all over with, he's a man that's broken - he looks like an old punching bag that's worn out and is done in the gym. And why wouldn't he? You know, if Americans take the time to read his diary, they're going to see that this was a guy that was full of pride. He was drunk with power, he was drunk with pride, he was drunk with his own celebrity. This is the Anthony Fauci that I saw through those five years: never any remorse, never any concern for the people dying - let alone the ones he was locking out of churches, out of schools, out of their jobs. He was not only reading his own press clippings, he was putting them in his own diary as well - regaling over every one of them. So sad day for America, we still don't have closure, there's so much he could have told us. There's so much that he could have told us so we could learn for next time."

On Dr. Fauci's diary entries:

"Right. So, again, he writes in his diary one thing but tells America something else. The end of January 2020, he is sitting there saying, 'There's no way that this virus came from this wet market, that it was a spreader event,' and 'Oh, by the way, this biosecurity level four lab is just like a couple blocks away.' So which one do you think is more likely-that a bat traveled 2,000 miles, got off on a bus, and then suddenly got into that market? Or do you think it was leaked from the lab four blocks away? So, he says one thing to his diary and something else to us. On February 1st, he has a phone call with 12 of the best scientists in the world on this gain-of-function research - 10 of the 12 tell us that they think it came from a laboratory, but he tells the President, he tells all of us, that he thinks that this came from this wet market. So, he lied, he lied, and he lied again to protect his own reputation."

On bringing Dr. Fauci to justice:

"Right, and beyond that, 20 million Americans still have long COVID - including one of my loved ones - so those people deserve answers as well. But this is why I'm calling for a special counsel: we need to get this out of Washington, get the politics out of it, and then go back and build this case that Anthony Fauci, for over 20 years, funded gain-of-function research, then he led this cover-up as well. Then we got to get into the autopen pardon - by the way, this was an autopen pardon, and so maybe he's not immune from what he said in the past. Look, this guy's slick, he's lawyered up, I don't know that if we can throw him in jail over this, but I think that certainly a special counsel needs to get a hold of this. There's no way we can address this in one morning hearing in Congress."

On Dr. Fauci's autopen pardon:

"Yeah, so Maria in my opinion, yes - I think there is evidence that should be investigated. But this would take a special counsel to dive into all of them, even just the validity of this autopen pardon. I mean, I understand that maybe on some rules that maybe the President didn't have to sign it with his own pen, but this autopen was being run by somebody else. So, I think there's a lot more here - we need a special counsel up and running."

On the Senate's priorities next week:

"Well, I feel like we're trying to put 20 pounds of potatoes in a 10-pound bag. But we need to prioritize and get as much done as we can, starting with the funding of the government. Remember, Chuck Schumer and big-government socialists - they've shut the government down three times already. So, it's time to move that, and hopefully we'll get on these other bills as well."

On passing the SAVE America Act before recess:

"Yeah, Maria. So certainly, we have 50 Republicans that would support some version of the SAVE Act, but it takes 10 Democrats to go along with this, and that's what we can't find. So, we're going to continue to work through the process. I'm asking that we stay in D.C. though, till we take up voter ID, till we take up proof of citizenship, and then do something else with the mail-in ballots."

"I do. I think we'll be doing good to get done next weekend at the earliest."
