Rescissions Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GILL of Texas. Mr. Speaker, if FOX News or talk radio or any other conservative media outlet came to me and asked us if we should provide them with taxpayer-funded handouts, I would say no, and I believe that most of my colleagues would as well.

I certainly think that far-left propaganda outlets like NPR should be defunded. Remember, this is an outlet that believes writing articles about fat phobia and queer animals constitutes serious journalism. They have the right to say whatever they want to, but they do not have the right to our tax dollars.

To my colleagues who say that this is only a small part of our budget, I would ask them what, outside of border security and national defense, would they like to cut from our budget? They have never seen a foreign country they don't want to shower with our tax dollars or an illegal alien that they don't want to give welfare to.

This is a logical first step to get our finances under control. I urge my colleagues to vote for this rescissions bill.
