Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. alongside Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) joined The Sean Hannity Radio Show to discuss Senator Blackburn’s letter to the administration that would immediately freeze the $6 billion Biden signed over to Iran. Senator Marshall signed on to this letter and introduced the corresponding legislation that would revoke the waiver for the $6 billion and immediately rescind the funds to Iran.
Highlights from Senator Marshall’s remarks include:
“Iran is probably at 60% enrichment right now…[Iran] really, they can make a nuclear warhead, I think, just in a matter of weeks. But this is once again why it was so important that Senator Blackburn got ahead on this with her letter. You know, I would explain it like this: Iran had not cashed the check yet. So Joe Biden had sent them the check. They hadn’t cash it yet.”
“The United States sends money to these Palestinian organizations, and they use it to feed the terrorist groups with… that’s exactly what goes on here.”
“Israel needs an ally that’s gonna stand beside them no matter what. Not a matter of if, but no matter of what. We need to stand beside them, we need to stop encouraging [Iran], we have to cut the head of the snake off. Iran is the head of the snake.”
On How The U.S. cuts off Iran:
“Elections have consequences, it’s going to be hard to cut the head off the snake, as long as Joe Biden is the President of the United States. He actually empowers Iran.”
“If you think about what he’s done as the President of the United States, we’ve seen Iran’s Federal Reserves go from $6 billion to $60 billion, under his watch. We’ve seen Iran grow with Ghost Armada from 20 ships now to 300 ships, allowing Iranian and Russian oil to be sold to China, as Senator Blackburn pointed out to the tune of a billion dollars a week.”
“We have to go after them with bank sanctions, stopping any type of nuclear research in all ways… America is not safe, as long as Iran is in power.”
On Hamas bombing hospital:
“I want to make sure Americans realize that the blood of all these people is on the hands of Hamas and Iran… Israel did not bomb that hospital. That it was, that the terrorists bombed it. And you’re gonna see this image over and over again, with the innocent women and children dying during this war. That’s where I say war is horrible.
“If Hamas would lay down their arms, and leave the Gaza Strip. This would be over with but they’re not going to do that. And here’s just one more point I want to make. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is in Israel begging Israel to stand down. That’s why Joe Biden is in Israel. He’s weak, he’s a gutless wonder. So while our American hostages are being tortured, Joe Biden’s over there asking Israel to stand down.”
