1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Well, if you traveled this weekend, you had a better 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: time at some airports, you had a worse time at 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: other airports either way. As I told you last week, Democrats' 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: political strategy right now is to create as much chaos 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: and misery in your life. Your unhappiness helps them politically 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: understand that, and everything makes sense. In fact, President Trump 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: plans on paying TSA agents even before the Senate does anything, 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: by moving money around at the Department of Homeland Security, 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: and Democrats are pissed. 10 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: That's right. 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: They don't want TSA agents to get paid. They don't 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: want your life to get better. I'm going to show 13 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: you exactly what they said in just a second. But 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: first take a look at what it was like in Houston, 15 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: where we had seen horrible, like six seven, eight hour 16 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: long lines. Well they called in the ice agents and 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: look what. 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: Happened, Hi, Bill. 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 3: So the last week and a half, I've been the 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 3: one to give the bad news. Or this Monday morning, 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: bright and early, I'm here to give the good news. 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 3: So we are at Houston Airport. It's been the hardest 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 3: hit airport during this shutdown. Literally no line right here. 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: So we're at the security checkpoint. Once you hit that 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 3: checkpoint and get behind it. That wait time probably about 26 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: thirty minutes or so. But follow me this way. You 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: could see last week we were here reporting on four 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 3: plus hour wait times. That line it's built outside the terminal. 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: Then right here to the two lower levels where again 30 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: people were waiting hours. They had to put up these 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: makeshift lanes and now you could see it is just 32 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: empty here. So this is a beautiful site for these 33 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: travelers TSA agents. As Bill mentioned, they're expected more of 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: them to get paid today, but still many have not 35 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: returned to work on Saturday. Here in Houston, thirty eight 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: percent of TSA officers here at Bush Airport called out 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: now Borders Oar Tom Holman was at this airport last 38 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: week to see how things were going. He said those 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: ICE officers would stay here until operations were. 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: Back to normal. 41 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: Check out these pictures I took on Friday. ICE officers 42 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: here behind security checkpoints helping carry those carry on bags 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: right into the scanners. 44 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: So you saw the ICE agents there coming to the rescue. 45 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: Remember last week, Oh, ICE agents aren't trained to do this. 46 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: How are they possibly going to be able to carry 47 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: a bin with a carry on piece of luggage over 48 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: to a scanner. It takes months to learn how to 49 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: do that sort of thing. Of course, the ICE agents 50 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: are helping. Also helping is the fact that TSA agents 51 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: return to work today in many cases because President Trump 52 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: announced that he's going to find the money and move 53 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: it from another program at Department of Homeland Security and 54 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: pay those agents. And that's good news for you, good 55 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: news for travelers, good news for TSA agents. CNN asked 56 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: one of those TSA agents to come on the air, 57 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: and they were not expect to hear this. 58 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 4: What is your message of the message of those that 59 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 4: you represent to Congress, to perhaps the President as well, 60 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: about having to continually go through this every time Congress 61 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 4: is supposed to be passing bills that pay the bills. 62 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 5: Well, I have to say thanks to the President for 63 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 5: some the executive order to pay us. 64 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 6: But I also have to say that there's other parts 65 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 6: of the Department of Homeland Security on being paid. 66 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 7: Right. 67 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: Take in her phase, look at her phase. What's your 68 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: message to Congress? Well, my message is thank you President Trump. 69 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 6: Ah, I didn't ask you. I didn't ask you what 70 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 6: your message was for him? Unless your message is no kegs. 71 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 6: Look at the phase. Oh yeah, that's that's a bad sign. 72 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 6: Democrats are upset. Democrats are upset because that man is happy. 73 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 6: Democrats are upset because that man said, thank you for 74 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 6: paying us for working. 75 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: Democrats have engineered three government shutdowns in the last twelve months. 76 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: Remember everybody saying, oh, none of this is normal. We've 77 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: got to return to regular order. There's just chaos. They're 78 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: causing the chaos. It's unprecedented. Three shutdowns in twelve months. 79 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: That's never happened before. And it's not Trump doing it. 80 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: It's Chuck Schumer and the lunatics and his party doing it. 81 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: Trump is problem solving, and so when they tell you 82 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: exactly who they are and what their priorities are, you 83 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: should be listening. Here's Congressman Chim Himes on with Margaret 84 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: Brennan face the Nation yesterday. Listen to his complaint about 85 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: TSA agents being paid. It angers him that the chaos 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: is over. 87 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 7: Practically speaking, ICE is already funded. In fact, it's one 88 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 7: of the few JHS entities where people are getting paid 89 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 7: because they had so much funding from the president's last bill. 90 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 7: Now their portfolio is explaining because they're in American airports 91 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 7: across the country. So what did Democrats get out of 92 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 7: this standoff? 93 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Margaret, the standoff is not done yet, right. 94 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 8: The President is illegally paying apparently TSA agents. 95 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: There you go, he's breaking the law. You know what, dude, 96 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: you should impeach him. Please please impeach him. Impeach him 97 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: for alleviating the pain of the American people who are 98 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: going to airports during Holy Week. Please impeach him for that. Well, 99 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: we'll give you as much time as you want on 100 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: this show to make the case it's illegal. I tell you, 101 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: it's outrageous. How dare he actually pay people who have 102 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: been working for the last forty plus days without a paycheck. 103 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: We want them to suffer. He's not the only one. CNN, 104 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: same thing. Are you happy the TSA agents are going 105 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: to get paid? 106 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: Now? 107 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: Are you happy that the airlines are going to be 108 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: able to function properly? In the airports aren't going to 109 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: be a nightmare? Does that make it happy? 110 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 5: Well, what we just heard from that TSA union rep 111 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 5: is the person standing up for those hard working American 112 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 5: workers is the president? With that executive action that he 113 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 5: took at the end of the week. They're now getting 114 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 5: new money into their bank accounts. Finally, again, are you 115 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 5: thankful that he did take that action? 116 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: Well, look, the president, if he's been saying for a 117 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: while that he could have taken some action so that 118 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: would have never had this issue. He could have told 119 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: Johnson make the deal, but he did not. 120 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 5: He is the one you actually did take action, not 121 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 5: the Congress. So far do you support and are you 122 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 5: thankful that he did take action when you're saying that 123 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 5: the hard working American worker of TSA have been the 124 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 5: people caught in the. 125 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: Middle the president this they should have never you know, 126 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: you heard that agent talk about how they are in debt, 127 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: the number of you know, extra interests and penalties, et cetera. 128 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: That should have never happened, and the President could have 129 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: prevented that from happening. 130 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: So he refuses to say that this is a good thing, 131 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: that he's happy about it. And I love the passive language. 132 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: This should have never happened. You made it happen, You 133 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: did it. You know, another way of saying this should 134 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: have never happened, and a more accurate way of saying it, 135 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: because he's acting like it was an earthquake, like it, Oh, 136 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this thing that happened. This thing did 137 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: not happen. You happened. You did it. The way to 138 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: say it properly should have been we should have never 139 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: done this, not this should have never happened. We should 140 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: have never done this. When CNN reaches the point where 141 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: even they can't deny the truth and the reality of 142 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: this situation, you know you're on the winning side of this. 143 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: You know that it's so obvious that even CNN has 144 00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: to face reality. In fact, the only other appropriate it 145 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: move here by Congress if they really really wanted to 146 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: feel some empathy for the people who are suffering, is 147 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: for them to also go without their paychecks. A lot 148 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: of people have been saying that why should all of 149 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,119 Speaker 1: these people in the Homeland Security Department who are told 150 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: to work without pay, why should they be obliged to 151 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,559 Speaker 1: do that when Congress gets paid and they're not even working, 152 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: they're just sitting around not voting. 153 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 3: That came up, like, why should it be the TSA 154 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: agents and those and the government workers that are making a. 155 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 9: Forty five thousand dollars a year they go a month 156 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 9: without a paycheck that it matters to them. 157 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 7: Absolutely, Yeah, no, they should get paid. 158 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 9: But also it's kind of written into the Constitution that 159 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 9: you can't use the pay of representatives as a leverage 160 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 9: point on how to get policy. 161 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, hey, our pay is protected by the Constitution. 162 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: You can't do that. We can use it as a 163 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: leverage point on those little minions over there, But how 164 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: dare you do that to us? Remember how I said 165 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: even CNN can't deny the reality. Wish I could say 166 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: the same about Margaret Brennan over at the CBS news 167 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: Face the Nation. Uh, she denies reality. In fact, she 168 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: denies facts and truth and basic American history. Watch Margaret Brennan, 169 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: paid professional journalist host to Face the Nation, pretend like 170 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: she's never even seen I'm just a bill from Schoolhouse rock. 171 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: Watch her pretend that she doesn't know how Washington, DC works, 172 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: and then watch the buzzsaw that she ran into known 173 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: as Tom Homan. 174 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 10: Look, and American people hold Congress responsible. They're on vacation 175 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 10: right now. Well, tens of thousands of DHS employees aren't 176 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 10: being paid. 177 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 7: This is the President's party. 178 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 10: The Democrats shot. The Democrats shut down DHS. They forward 179 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,479 Speaker 10: to shut down DHS because they simply won't fund DHS. 180 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 10: Could they want to change Ice policies, so ICE is 181 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 10: less effective in the interior. Remember why we're here. We're 182 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 10: here because the last four years, I'm an open border 183 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 10: mayors of people in this country legally many public state 184 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 10: the trust national security threads, and we're out seeking them 185 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 10: and arrest them. And they simply don't like Ice enforce 186 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 10: in the law. They they proved that last four years 187 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 10: they didn't. They didn't let Ice enforce the law. 188 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: That is one hundred percent true. Fact check true. No 189 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: Pinocchio's scene anywhere, Margaret Brennan. Just a recommendation for you, 190 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: miss Brennan. I it might help you with your job 191 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: that you have. Once in a while, you might want 192 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: to read and or watch the news. Well, I mean, 193 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: the president's party controls the house in the Senate, so 194 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: they're at fault here for not getting it done. Acting 195 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: like she has no idea. The basic rules of kloture 196 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: and the filibuster and sixty votes that's been in place. Well, 197 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: the sixty vote has been in place for about forty 198 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: or fifty years. The filibuster used to be two thirds. 199 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: It goes back over one hundred years. And most eighth 200 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: graders know this. I know you know it it's kind 201 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: of what everyone's been talking about for months and months 202 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: and months and months, and so she's either willfully ignorant, 203 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: or she's lying, or she's just stupid. Could be all three, 204 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,479 Speaker 1: could be all three. But even that kind of gaslighting 205 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: didn't play over on ABC News of all places, where 206 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: even Jonathan Carl had to say to Chris van Holland, 207 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: please don't play this game. We're not morons over here. 208 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: We're not Margaret Brennan. 209 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 9: I guess what's confusing here is you have fought and 210 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 9: blocked the funding for the Department of Homeland Security because 211 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 9: you object, as you just outlined, to what ICE has 212 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 9: been doing, and you wanted to force changes. And yet 213 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 9: the only thing that has been sured throughout all of 214 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 9: this is that ICE already has the money because, as 215 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 9: you said, seventy five billion dollars passed in the budget 216 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 9: bill last year. So you're holding up the entirety of 217 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 9: the Department of Homeland Security because you object to ICE 218 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 9: and you want changes to ICE. But through it all, 219 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 9: ICE continues to have the money. 220 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 8: John, We're not holding up all of the money for 221 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 8: all the Department of Homeland Security. That's just a false statement. 222 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 8: We have said repeatedly, well, I mean repeatedly, we should 223 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,479 Speaker 8: fund TSA, we should fund FEMA, we should fund the Coastguard. 224 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 8: We are not prepared to give Ice another ten billion 225 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 8: dollars on top of the money they already have and 226 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 8: are using in many of these lawless operations. We're not 227 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 8: going to give them another ten billion dollars unless they 228 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 8: make fun holding up killing of American citizens. 229 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 9: And fighting over that additional ten billion dollars. You are 230 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 9: you are holding up the rest of department. 231 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 8: We're not holding it up. I mean you're saying, John, 232 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 8: we're not holding it up. We have now voted ten tis, 233 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 8: but you're. 234 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 9: Holding up unless it doesn't include money for Ice. That's 235 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 9: just the fact. 236 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: That's just the fact. And it is one thousand percent 237 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: just the fact. And it's getting lost in them because 238 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats they're so good at lying. I gotta say. 239 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, I would have paid thousands of 240 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: dollars to an ABC News intern or production assistant if 241 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: they could have put a little Margarita paper umbrella in 242 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: his coffee cup there on the set there Chris van Holland, 243 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: because he's great when he's fighting down in Central America, 244 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: for illegal alien gang members. They're so good at looking 245 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: at you and lying that people understandably tend to believe it, 246 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: because the most Americans cannot imagine how duplicitous and deceitful 247 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: they can be. But they're acting like the Senate has 248 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: some kind of line item Veto that even the president 249 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have. You know, you send a spending package to 250 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: the president and there's a lot in there that he 251 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: might not like, but this is the process, and this 252 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: how we do it. We've been at governors have this opportunity, 253 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: many governors, but presidents do not. Even Clinton was asking 254 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: for a line out of Veto. Ronald Reagan was asking 255 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: for a line out of Veto where the Congress can 256 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: send the president the big spending package, the big appropriations bills, 257 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: and then they can say yeah, not this, not this, 258 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: not this, and then sign it and it becomes law. 259 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: The Senate is trying to take over those powers. You 260 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: see what he's saying here, Oh, oh, we're willing to 261 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: fund everything. We just want to draw a line through 262 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: this one thing. That's what we don't want. And apparently 263 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: John Foon wants to give them the power to do 264 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: that gives the minority the power. He wants to give 265 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: the minority party in the United States Senate more power 266 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: than the president has when signing spending bills. Think about 267 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: that for a minute, and even John Carl couldn't let 268 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: it stand. No, you guys have defunded this department and 269 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: you're doing it for political gain, and the president has 270 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: just done an end around them, and now TSA agents 271 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: are going to get paid, and we have the standoff, 272 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: and the Senate's still on vacation. Everybody, John fun who 273 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: wanted to be the majority leader, doesn't seem to be 274 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: doing much leading. Now that's just weird.
