Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast. Very excited because we have the youngest Republican member of Congress with us.

Representative Brandon Gill from the 26th District in Texas, a guy that folks in our audience probably know from such things as the awesome interrogations that he does of liberal weirdos during committee hearings. He is also the

son-in-law of one of our longtime pals, Dinesh D'Souza. We're so glad to have you with us today,

especially in the midst of a government shutdown. So first things first, before we get to anything

else, what is your prediction on how this is going to play out?

First of all, thanks for having me on. It's good to talk with y'all. You know, there's a lot to say about

the government shutdown. I would say, I think from here, the American people are quickly realizing

and Democrats realize that they're just shutting the government down because they want to use our

tax dollars to give health care subsidies to illegal aliens. And that's something that the vast

majority of Americans disagree with. It's something that most moderate Democrats also disagree with.

So, you know, we'll see how long this lasts. The ball is in the Democrats court. But I suspect that it won't last more than about a week. But we'll see what they do. Really a week? Because they're trying to spin it. They're doing this whole, it's, it's healthcare for everything. You know, like Maxine Waters doesn't want to talk about that it's for illegals. We know that it's for illegals. And I mean, people with, you know,

brain cells left in their heads know it's for illegals, but they're trying to spin it,

Congressman. So I don't know. A week sounds good. I think that's, that's okay. But yeah,

I don't know. They're trying to spin it. I mean, it is, it is literally in the bill text of the

continuing resolution that Democrats propose.

So we remember, we propose our continuing resolution.

We passed it out of the House two weeks ago.

It was an entirely clean CR, meaning it is just a bill to keep the government open, to keep the lights on it.

We didn't pack it with conservative priorities.

We didn't put Republican priorities.

It's literally biased seven weeks so that we can run the regular appropriations process.

In the meantime, Democrats gave their counterproposal, and page 57 of it references section 71109 of the big beautiful
