Marshall: National Security Over Gas Prices

0:00Senator Roger Marshall from Kansas is owning up to the spike in gas prices tied to the war with Iran, but he's clear national security beats your pocketbook every time. In the Newsmax interview, he said helps coming soon and America safety has to come first. His team adds that Marshall hopes the fight wraps up quick, bringing prices down after. He compared it to World War II, saying past generations stuck it out against Hitler or Japan to victory, no matter the timeline, Marshall wants weeks, not months, to make folks safer. President Trump backed that vibe on Fox Business, calling the war near its end, and vowing to keep going till Iran drops nuclear dreams. Marshall called Trump's blockade a smart jiu-jitsu play against what he sees as North Korea on steroids. Democrats and critics jumped on it hard, pointing out Republicans ran on cutting inflation and boosting the economy. A Pew poll shows 59 percent of Americans think the military move was wrong.

1:00Kansas Democrat Sheree's David's Cam says folks shouldn't pick between affordability and safety, with higher gas and groceries risking lives. Rival Noah Taylor slam Marshall for flip-flopping on Iran's nukes with no proof, hitting farmers with pricier diesel and fertilizer. Even Senator Patty Murray tweeted, it's Trump putting a reckless war over basics. As Pums climb and polls shift, this debate's just heating up.
