1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: So forty two days standoff negotiations, at some point falling

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: completely off the table in regards to paying these TSA agents,

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: And around two o'clock in the morning last night, Jerry

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: the Senate, who is desperately wanting to just get the

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: hell out of Dodge and get a headstart on an

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Easter vacation, decided to pass through kind of a half

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: assed deal where each side is now claiming they won,

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: which I guess that's what deals are supposed to be.

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: But I don't know about this one.

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: So two in the morning, the Senate agrees a funding

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: package including everything except ICE and part of CBP. Now,

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: as we've made clear, Ice for the short term is

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: already funded by the big Beautiful Bill, So if anything,

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: this would kind of buy some more time and still

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: get the TSA agents their paychecks, which I'm in favor

16
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: of that, but it seemed like it was a rushed process.

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: Like it feels a little bit, just a little bit.

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: Jerry, like the Republicans caved, And I know the Republicans

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: are gonna say the Democrats caved because everybody's so tribal here,

20
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: But how do you not get ice? You know, the

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: money if you're gonna hold out for forty two days.

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: What happened from yesterday to today that makes you say,

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: all right, we're not gonna put ICE on the table,

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: even though it's already funded for just a little while longer,

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: we are gonna take that off the table.

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: That rubbed a lot of Republicans the wrong way. Yeah.

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, vacations were planned and we got

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: up against those, right right. But the reality is Republicans

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: can't claim and win at all if you've now not

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: funding ICE and you're not gonna fund out border patrol.

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: That's a huge problem for me.

32
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: I understand wanting to get back to TSA needs to

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: get fixed, but setting the president that you can strip

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: out sections or departments under Department of Homeland Security, that's

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: a problem. Now.

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: The thing to keep in mind is with this funding package,

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: if you want to go back and try to get

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: ICE their money, it just requires a fifty plus one vote.

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: So if you get all Republicans to play ball, fine,

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: or if you get one Republican getting squirrely in the Senate,

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: if you get Fetterman to cross over, you should be business.

42
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: You should be in business. Your toe should be tapping

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: there so.

44
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: It's just a fifty plus one to get ICE and

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: CBP their money. But again, why now would you decide

46
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: ask screw it, We'll deal with it later after forty

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: two days. Like these TSA workers and I've been in

48
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: the airport recently, they're in there doing God's work.

49
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: Man, they're getting yelled at.

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I know they're not the most warm and fuzzy individuals,

51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: but they're just getting the red ass from everybody and

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: they're not getting paid.

53
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard to be hard to be happy when

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: everybody sees in a rush and nobody wants to deal

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: with anybody. And that's what the SAA did go through

56
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: on a daily basis.

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: Now, prior to that two a m.

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: Happy Hour vote, President Trump was like, you know what's

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: screw it. I'm just going to do it by myself.

60
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it by myself. I'm going to

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: sign an executive order. I'm going to find a work around.

62
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: Kiss my backside, let's go to McDonald's. That's paraphrasing what

63
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Trump said. And then magically, a couple hours later, right

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: before a Friday where everybody wants to start.

65
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Traveling two in the morning. At two in the morning,

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 2: they come up with this.

67
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: Now Tim Scott, Republican Senator from South Carolina, he's doing

68
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: a victory lap on this.

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: Without President Trump saying I'm going it alone. I'm going

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: to take care of America without the help of a

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: single Democrat. They got scared. They were shaking in their boots.

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: They responded by saying, we want credit to They don't

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: deserve one ounce of credit. President Trump deciding to fund

74
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: TSA by himself and brought them to the table. Without

75
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: that one thing, we would not have passed the legislation

76
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: last night.

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: Hold that thought, because the legislation is not done, because

78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: all that did was kick it down to the House,

79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: and House Speaker Johnson has decided that this thing is.

80
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: A turd and they will not be signing this. So

81
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: within the last couple.

82
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Of hours here, President Trump has signed an executive order

83
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: demanding that TSA agents be paid.

84
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: Now, we do not know where.

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: The money is coming from, who specifically is doing it.

86
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Are they moving funds from one area to another. I

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: know some sort of blue liberal judge is going to

88
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: get involved here, Jerry, but I think ultimately this is

89
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Trump's plan. If there's going to be a Democrat or

90
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: a judge that fights back against TSA agents being paid.

91
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: That's a campaign commercial.

92
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: Oh, and it's going to happen. We know it's going

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: to happen because this is something that President wants to

94
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: do to help everyday American workers TSA agents. Imagine forty

95
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: two days without.

96
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: A check, right, that's a long ass time in this economy.

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Let's not act like the prices are super low and

98
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: gas is really cheaper.

99
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: Three checks, right, that's forty two days is almost three checks.

100
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: Imagine missing your next three checks and not knowing when

101
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: the next one's gonna come.

102
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: And if you're somebody living paycheck to paycheck, which a

103
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of Americans.

104
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 3: Do, let alone paycheck to paycheck to pay I mean

105
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: X three.

106
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: That's a kick in the crotch, that's what that is.

107
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: Uh So, yeah, it's back to work now, you know.

108
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: Damn well, many of these senators have already flown out. Yeah,

109
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: once they passed that turd through at two o'clock in

110
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: the morning, they went home, packed their bags and they're

111
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: somewhere else. So we'll see what happens here. And oh,

112
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: by the way, nothing on the Save America Act either.

113
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: You can get this through at two o'clock in the morning,

114
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: so you could go on an early easter vacation, but

115
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: nothing for ice and nothing for the Save America Act.

116
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: So it seems to me like we haven't really made

117
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: progress on things that are important to the right right now.

118
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: Right voter, HEYI immigration in the border, and we're saying no,

119
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: we're not going to deal with any of that.

120
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: But we won.

121
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: And honestly, for me, the Ice thing, it's not a

122
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: right now problem because as we've said quite a bit

123
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: on this program, it's funded for the short term from

124
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: the Big Beautiful Bill. There's money in there for ice.

125
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: It's not going to go belly up. But if you

126
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: are trying a long term spending plan, then why decide

127
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: now after forty two days?

128
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: Screw it? Yeah, that's my question.

129
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: TMZ, by the way, is asking for pictures of Congress

130
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: members who are going on vacation.

131
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: Where do we stand with this, Jared.

132
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: Hey, it's about once again, this is a liberal media company,

133
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: and it seems like even they've had enough.

134
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: Right now, let's not get ourselves. If they get a

135
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: picture of it'll be all Republicans, right. If they get

136
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: a picture of Chuck Schumer in the Bahamas, and they

137
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: get a picture of Nancy Mace in the Bahamas.

138
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: He's going, I'd rather see Nancy Mason the Bahamas anyway,

139
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 3: I would do TMZ look for Luna please from Florida.

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: But only one of those is gonna be going online.

141
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right there.

142
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: But this TSA thing, there are people who don't even

143
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: a TSA agent that are ticked off about.

144
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: What was it like when you flew I mean, did

145
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: you fly during this because you went on vacation with

146
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: the TSA thing going on? Then did you see ice

147
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: at the airport?

148
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: At one of them?

149
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: So when I flew out an Indy again, Indy's airport

150
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: is awesome.

151
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: It's a well oiled machine.

152
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Man.

153
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: The lines went quick.

154
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: And this was on a Sunday, a travel time during

155
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: spring break line for TSA was maybe five minutes in

156
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: and out. While coming back home, I was coming back

157
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: from Philadelphia and the day or two before it was wild.

158
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: So that was one of the airports where the TSA

159
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: agents were brought in.

160
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: And look, Philly.

161
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Is a very blue, very liberal city, much like they

162
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: elect some of the worst politicians imaginable, especially their da

163
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: But folks seemed like they were happy to see ICE

164
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: agents because they were moving through the line faster. Nobody

165
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: was bitching, nobody was moaning, nobody was.

166
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: You know, defund eyes. You didn't see any of that.

167
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: You saw ICE agents helping out with IDs, saving spots

168
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: in line for people, if somebody needed a drink. They

169
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: were getting that. They were glorified interns. Basically, wherever you

170
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: needed a body, they were there to help. So the

171
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: official TSA agents were doing the picture scanning on the

172
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: device and the ICE agents are looking at IDs. Nobody

173
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: said a word, at least not that I heard. And

174
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: in a city like Philly, where they have no problem

175
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: booing and letting their thoughts be known, the city that

176
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: booed Santa Claus at a football game once, it was

177
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: somewhat surprising
