  • Gill explains ongoing Capitol Hill developments with appropriations bills intertwined with border security disagreements.
• Polling and Public Sentiment:
  • Overwhelming public (and cross-demographic) support for voter ID.
  • [24:54] G: "On all of it, all north of 75%... 83% in the last year of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj. They favor photo ID to be able to vote."
  • Response to left-wing criticism (especially from The View’s Sunny Hostin) that voter ID is a form of voter suppression linked to racial history.
  • [26:31] B: "What Democrats are doing here is not trying to fight for voting rights or any of that nonsense… fundamentally what they’re trying to do is erode the meaning of American citizenship and erode the distinction between US citizens and foreign foreigners..."

• Historical Context:
