Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include:

On the Kansas legislature overriding Governor Kelly’s veto of the Help Not Harm Act:

“I’m very proud of my Republican caucus back in Kansas, both on the House and Senate side, they’re standing up to the governor. Look, 90% of Kansans think that letting boys compete in girls’ sports or doing transition surgeries on minors, is wrong. So this isn’t just an 80/20 issue, it’s a 90 to 10 issue.” 

“We have an obligation, not just as a senator, but as parents, as grandparents, as community members, to protect these children. These boys and girls deserve our love and our compassion. They’ve got other things going on. They need our support, but the last thing we need to do is give them an irreversible surgery that’s going to leave them scarred and in pain for the rest of their lives as well.” 

On the efforts of DOGE to root out waste, fraud, and abuse within the U.S. government:

“President Trump was elected to make change. We spend $2 trillion more every year than we take in…We think that there are hundreds of billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse. I’ll start off by saying that only 6% of federal workers in DC are working in the office.” 

“If I was Elon, I’m asking him to double down, not go slower, double down, and we’re going to correct the pieces as we go along as well. Think about what Elon did with Twitter. He fired 80% of the people when he took over Twitter, he changed the name of it, and now today, it’s worth twice as much as it was before. So Elon has proved he can do this with large organizations. He has the president’s trust. He’s working day in and day out with the president.”

“Just yesterday, the president instituting transparency for hospitals and their procedures was something that we’ve been working on with DOGE and the president. Full speed ahead. Let’s Make America Great Again.”
