Gill's Controversial Immigration Stance Sparks Outrage

About this episode

Republican Brandon Gill sparked controversy on Benny Johnsons podcast, claiming Somali immigrants are a net drain on society. He cited a report showing 54% of non-citizen households from top sending countries on welfare. Johnson questioned why were importing people who need handouts immediately. Gill doubled down, linking it to cultural clashes and lower IQ scores, arguing immigrants should fully assimilate. Critics labeled the talk as racist, with social media users comparing it to Nazi propaganda. Gills past actions include grilling witnesses in a House hearing on Minnesota Somalis, where 54% get food stamps versus 7% of natives. Hes also pushed back against Islamic calls to prayer and Sharia, and called for deporting Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The debate on immigrations real cost continues.

It's April 21st. Entertainment and celebrity news today starts now. AI-powered and trending. Actor Patrick Muldoon passed away suddenly on April 19th, at age 57 from a heart attack. His producer girlfriend, Miriam Rothbart, found him unresponsive in their Beverly Hills bathroom after what started as a normal Sunday morning with, coffee. Paramedics arrived quickly, but it was too late. After that day, he'd gone for a shower while she was on the phone. And when she checked, he wasn't breathing. His family rushed over from nearby in Los Angeles, though tragically, their elderly father fell and fractured his shoulder in the chaos. Officials confirmed no other issues, saying it was quick with no suffering. His sister Shauna shared that Patrick was in peak form, super active with Jiu-Jitsu, running, and workouts as a former athlete. No known health problems, and just the night before, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art event, he and Miriam seemed totally happy. Denise Richards, who dated him on and off in the 90s since meeting an acting class at

age 19, is devastated. Sources say she's inconsolable, calling theirs the best ex-relationship with mutual respect and constant support. They even posed together at last month's Saturn Awards and co-star in the upcoming action flick, Dirty Hands, dropping this Friday. The paramedics and loved ones emphasize how out of nowhere this hit, leaving everyone reeling from the loss of such a vibrant light who lit up every room.
