This Could Be Republicans' Last Chance To Fix Immigration | Rep. Brandon Gill

The Republican-controlled Congress has a monumental task ahead of them: Passing the agenda that elected President-elect Donald Trump and gave Republicans control of both the House and Senate. It will be trial by fire for the newest members of the Republican House like Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas. This week on The Signal Sitdown, politics editor Bradley Devlin interviews the newly-minted Congressman. Gill gives us an inside look into how new members of Congress go about setting up their office and getting up to speed on the legislature’s rules and procedures. All the while, these new members are posed to play important roles in the House Republican conference’s dynamics and passing the Trump agenda. “Everybody recognizes President Trump's leadership, and he's got the ability to sort of bring people in line—to put it nicely—in a way that I don't think our party has had in decades, if ever,” Gill said of the Republican trifecta. “I think we all recognize this is his mandate,” Gill continued. “We have a majority in the house because of President Trump, not because of anybody else. We have a majority in the Senate because of President Trump. So that is the vision that President Trump has cast for the party, which is an America first agenda. That’s what we're going to be focused on passing.” With slim majorities, Republicans in Congress will have to pass large swaths of this agenda through a process called budget reconciliation. Reconciliation is exempt from the 60-vote cloture threshold in the Senate, but it also to a certain degree limits what can be included in the budget reconciliation legislation. The razor-thin majority in the House makes the path to success even more narrow and marred with potential pitfalls. House Speaker Mike Johnson is meant to guide his energetic and rambunctious Republican conference down this path. “There is no harder job in politics than being a Republican Speaker of the House,” Gill claimed.

Your government is out of control. It’s doing things it has no business doing. It spends way too much money. It gets involved in way too many wars. It not only tells you what you can and can’t say—it actively censors you. And the things your government should do, it can’t, or won’t, do at all. It can’t keep your streets clean of crime and filth. It can’t keep your neighborhoods safe enough for kids to play outside. It can’t even prevent your country from being invaded by millions of illegal migrants. Why is that? Because your leaders no longer represent you. They represent themselves and their friends. On each episode of "The Signal Sitdown," politics editor Bradley Devlin exposes how the sausage really gets made in Washington, D.C. with the help of guests who have experience on the inside. "The Signal Sitdown" takes you inside the biggest battles in Washington, D.C., as they happen. We’ll analyze the policymaking process from an unabashedly and unapologetically conservative perspective and together reclaim government from the self-serving elites. Fingers will be pointed. Names will be named.
