ICYMI: RSC's "Right to the Point" Podcast Sounds the Alarm on Democrats' Dangerous DHS Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In Case You Missed It (ICYMI): The Republican Study Committee's "Right to the Point" podcast released its latest episode featuring Rep. Marlin Stutzman (IN-03) and Rep. Brad Knott (NC-13), two RSC members who delivered an urgent warning: Democrats are playing politics with American lives by keeping the Department of Homeland Security dark at the most dangerous moment for national security in a decade.

The episode, titled "Sleeper Cells Don't Take Days Off," pulls no punches on the real-world consequences of the Democrat-manufactured DHS shutdown that has now spanned more than six weeks.

Listen to the latest episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Key highlights from the episode are below:

Rep. Marlin Stutzman (IN-03): "The Democrats like to say the attacks in Iran are a war of choice. Well, this is a shutdown of choice. The Democrats just decided they want to somehow embarrass Republicans, somehow embarrass President Trump. They think this is some sort of leverage that they're going to get something out of this."

Rep. Brad Knott (NC-13): "The motivation is actually far more sinister. It is not for an immigration system that removes people who are here illegally. It is to disrupt and frustrate this administration from enforcing the immigration laws, and unfortunately for the country, it comes at a very dangerous time."
