RSC Chairman Pfluger Joins the Benny Johnson Show: "Reconciliation 3.0 Is Now or Never"

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Republican Study Committee Chairman (RSC) August Pfluger (TX-11) joined the Benny Johnson Show to push for Reconciliation 3.0, urging Congress to go after fraud and cut costs for the American people. He also urged the Senate to act on the SAVE America Act to secure U.S. elections. 

The RSC has been at the forefront of fighting for a reconciliation bill that makes the American Dream Affordable Again, and unveiled a framework in January to lead the way.

Watch a portion of their conversation HERE.

Read highlights from Chairman Pfluger below:

On Tackling Fraud with Reconciliation 3.0: "Look at what Dr. Oz is uncovering, look at what's happening with Medicaid and Medicare scams in California, with hospice offices opening up in California, and literally stealing taxpayer money in places like Minnesota, that's the junior varsity level of the daycares that were stealing taxpayer money. These programs were designed for the most vulnerable of our country, and literally you have organized crime and just absolute criminals stealing this money. We, as a body of Congress, are 100 percent committed to making sure that this doesn't happen.”

On Democrats Obstructing DHS Funding: “The votes that are going on in the Senate right now are to fund DHS, because Democrats have stood in the way, blocking funding for Border Patrol, and for ICE. I mean, obviously, we know how tragic that is. What we're working on is something a little bit different. The Republican Study Committee has 190 members. We've been the driving force with a plan of action to get more done to codify President Trump's executive orders to tackle things on affordability, where we know we can come together as a group of Republicans, and we can tackle some hard issues.”

On the SAVE America Act: “Why don't we start with the Save America Act.  Something that, as the Republican Study Committee Chair, I have pushed for.  You know, I actually passed a bill last year here to not let noncitizens vote in D.C. We have jurisdiction, and we got 50-plus Democrats to vote in favor of that.  Amazing, and yet they can't find the courage to vote for SAVE America, which says you would have to prove that you're a citizen, and when you go vote, you'd have to actually show your ID that says you're a citizen. So, let's start with that. Why don't we have some election integrity around who you are? You get one vote, not two.”
