1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Well, it's about time. For over a month, those poor

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: TSA agents have been working without a paycheck, and obviously,

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: as the DHS shutdown went on and on and on

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: with no end in sight, many TSA agents, about five

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: hundred outright quit. Others thousands called in sick and said

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: if you're not going to pay me, I'm not coming

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: into work. And that led to massive long lines at

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: security checkpoints in most major airports, with waittimes two hours,

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: three hours, four hours in some places, line so long,

10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: sneaking all the way down to the baggage compartment section

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: six hours long. It was pure chaos at our airports.

12
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Our passengers were inconvenienced. The stress level was through the room,

13
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: and they were willing to put our lives in danger

14
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: and endanger the security of our airports and our airlines

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: for the Democrats to shut the government down, or in

16
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: this case, the DHS the Department of Homeland Security down

17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: to cater to their radical left wing base. They wanted

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: to force changes on ice and they failed. Finally, late

19
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: last night into the early hour mornings, DHS was fully

20
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: funded in a unanimous vote by both Republicans and Democrats

21
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: in the Senate. It now goes to the House, it

22
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: is expected to pass unanimously. So Department of Homeland Security,

23
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: with the exception of ICE and Customs in Border Protection

24
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: are going to be fully funded. Customs in Border Protection

25
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: will not ICE will not, but TSA will, so will FEMA,

26
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: so will the Coastguard, so will the rest of the

27
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security. What will happen to ICE, you ask,

28
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: John Thune, the Senate Republican leader, says that they will

29
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: attach it to a reconciliation bill, a budgetary bill, and

30
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: get the five billion dollars for ICE passed in a

31
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: reconciliation legislation, and that will eventually be funded as well.

32
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: So when everything is said and done, the Democrats wanted

33
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: to force Republicans to tighten rules on immigration enforcement, forcing

34
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: agents to not wear masks, forcing them to get a

35
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: judicial warrant if they wanted to enter the home of

36
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: illegal aliens. None of that happened. None of it happened,

37
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: so ICE was not changed. They were not reformed the

38
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: changes that the Democrats want it did not happen. In fact,

39
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: the Republicans anticipated a move like this, which is why

40
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: in the One Big Beautiful Bill they funded ICE completely

41
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: until next year, So Ice never missed a paycheck throughout

42
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: the entire DHS shutdown. So who ended up being hurt

43
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: the public? You and me and of course the poor

44
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: TSA agents and the Coast Guard and those who work

45
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: for FEMA, in other words, the public. And what did

46
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats end up getting for all this pain and suffering. Zero.

47
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: It was a massive waste of time. And I hope

48
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: voters remember in November. You want to know what the

49
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: Democrats think about you, This is what they think about you.

50
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: They don't give a damn about your safe in the air.

51
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: They don't give a damn that you had to wait four, five,

52
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: six hours to simply get screened by TSA. They don't

53
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: give a damn if illegal aliens slaughter you or your

54
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: family on the streets. It's all about power and left

55
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: wing politics. This November punished the Democrats at the polls.

56
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: This is now two shutdowns they've inflicted on the country,

57
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: both times, having nothing to show for it, but putting

58
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: all of us through hell. It's time to send the

59
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: Democrats a message. Blank me, no, no, no, no, blank you
