U.S. Senator Roger Marshall joined "American Agenda" on Newsmax to discuss several pressing issues, including the success of President Trump-endorsed candidates in GOP primary races, border security concerns, and inflation under the Biden administration.

During the interview, Marshall commented on the recent victories of Trump-endorsed candidates in GOP primaries. He stated, “There’s nothing but great news coming from polling all across the nation... If you think about every election, and every election is about the future, and it’s about voter turnout... If you’re President Donald Trump… you can point to your record and say look, I closed the border, inflation was 2%, the economy was the best of your lifetime.”

Marshall also addressed concerns regarding eight suspected terrorists with possible ISIS ties crossing into the U.S. through what he described as a "wide-open southern border." He said, “This is the tip of the iceberg; think about the two million ‘gotaways’ that have come into this country under Joe Biden – how many of those people were terrorists?”

He continued by criticizing current border security measures: “What we know is if the border patrol sees more than a thousand people a day they’re overwhelmed... This is why we need to secure our borders. This is why Donald Trump is gonna get re-elected.” He added that there are “hundreds more terrorists just like these” already in the country and criticized President Biden for his handling of fentanyl poisoning deaths.

Regarding inflation data and its impact on Americans nationwide, Marshall attributed rising costs directly to Biden's policies. “Since Joe Biden took office, gasoline is up probably close to 50% or 55%, groceries are up about 20%. The average Kansas family is spending $1,000 a month more for those basic necessities of life," he stated.

Marshall concluded by linking inflation to increased government spending: “You’re not going to see inflation slow down until we [the federal government] stop spending so much money... you’re not going to see interest rates come down until they have confidence that the federal government is going to stop spending more than we’re taking in.”
