Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. appeared on The Big Money Show on Fox Business to address the growing border crisis and express the concerns of Kansans regarding their safety and security. During the interview, Senator Marshall highlighted the need to prioritize national security and emphasized the gravity of the situation.
Regarding U.S. military readiness, Senator Marshall stated, "Well, certainly Joe Biden has given us war through weakness, our enemies neither respect us nor fear us. And at the same time, maybe we haven't been as efficient as we could be with American taxpayer dollars. I think there is a lot of waste up here." He also expressed his concerns about biosecurity and cybersecurity attacks, stating, "Despite everything you talked about, I'm more concerned about biosecurity issues and cybersecurity attacks. So this is the tip of the iceberg, and I would just ask America, are you safer today?"
Senator Marshall further discussed the concerns of American families regarding the southern border crisis and their safety and security. He mentioned conducting two telephone town halls with different age groups, where he found that "80% of the people on those phone calls said that their number one security was the open southern border. And that's why I've continued to make this my top priority." The senator highlighted that the attack on constitutional rights and the state of the economy were also significant concerns among the participants. He reiterated, "It's the border. It's the border. It's the border."
The interview shed light on the urgent need to address the border crisis and its impact on national security. Senator Marshall's remarks reflect the growing unease among Americans about the current state of affairs. The open southern border has become a pressing issue for citizens, overshadowing other concerns such as constitutional rights and the economy.
As the nation grapples with these challenges, it is crucial for policymakers to prioritize border security, address potential biosecurity and cybersecurity threats, and restore confidence in America's military readiness. The concerns expressed by Senator Marshall and the citizens he represents underscore the need for immediate action to ensure the safety and well-being of the American people.
