Hello, this is ████████████████████ calling on behalf of the Freedom Caucus foundation to invite you to join me for a live telephone town hall on the Schumer shutdown with special guests, members of the House Freedom Caucus. We will be joined by Chairman ███████████, Congressman ████████████, Congresswoman ██████████████, Congressman ███████████, Congressman ██████████, and more. You can press 2 now to opt out of future calls. Please stay on the line and allow us to automatically connect you to our live town hall meeting. We will give patriots across the country an opportunity to ask questions and hear an update from members of the House Freedom Caucus. Again, this is ████████████████████ with the Freedom Caucus Foundation. Welcome to our live town hall meeting. This call is paid for by the Freedom Caucus Foundation. ████████████ █████████████████ you are joining a live conference already in progress. Please be aware that your local phone company may leave your line open for up to ██ seconds after you leave the conference. If you would like to ask the Speaker a question, please press 0 question answer portion. You'll be able to press 0 and that will direct you into a queue where a staffer will take your question down and you'll see be able to hear the call. So feel free to press 0 at any time if you'd like to get in line to ask a question. Without further ado, I'd like to hand it over to Chairman ███████████ who will give us an update from the House Freedom Caucus. Chairman ██████ thank you very much, ███████ and thank you everyone for being on the call. I thank the House Freedom foundation because they are the. Because they are the. That's the organization that spreads the message about what the House Freedom Caucus is doing in ██████████. We are now in the second week of the ███████ shutdown. The bottom line is that █████████████ has dug in instead of just passing what the House did. A clean continuing resolution that keeps government funding at a certain at the level of last year. So no increases. The Democrats have proposed a one and a half trillion dollar increase in spending over the next ██ years by rolling back a lot of the victories that we achieved in the one big beautiful bill, especially with regard to reining in Medicaid fraud, waste and abuse and limiting the access of illegal immigrants to taxpayer funded health care. So again we're in the second week. The Senate I believe is going to take a vote shortly. Again it's 8 vote to cut the shutdown off. I think it's going to fail again and I don't know how long █████████████ and the Democrats will hold out. But again, the president is doing what he needs to do. Obviously, when he's not negotiating a Middle east peace. What he's done is he's said that what we're going to do is start laying off federal workers, not furloughing them, but laying them off, delivering on the government efficiency promises that he made when he ran for office. The House Freedom Caucus stands firmly with Speaker ███████, who has said that there are no negotiations going to take place over anything until the government reopens. And that's the way it ought to be. We can't submit ourselves to the extortion of █████████████ and the Democrats again to increase spending tremendously over the next ██ years as part of any continuing resolution deal we've had. The House did its business. The speaker has said we're not going to go back to ██████████ until the Senate reopens government. That's perfectly reasonable because there's really nothing to discuss until we have a government reopening. With that, ███████, I'll turn it back over to you. Again, thank you, everyone, for being on the call and thanks for those of you who support the House Brena Foundation. Thank you, because they're the ones that spread our message. And again, I'll hand it back to you, ██████. Thank you so much for that update. Mr. Chairman, we are we're actually still getting folks that are dialing in right now. So I want to just take a moment and reintroduce everyone that's on the line. We have chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, Chairman ███████████, who you just heard from Congressman ███████████, Congressman ████████████, Congressman ██████████, Congressman █████████████, Congressman ███████████, Congresswoman ██████████████, and Congresswoman █████████████████, who's joining us from █████████. So we're so thrilled that we were able to host this call. We are the Freedom Caucus foundation, where the nonprofit arm of the Freedom Caucus and our mission is.
