OK, what?
We're all working toward that end, and voting really does matter.
But there's this DHS funding package that's up in the House and the Senate right now.
Lots of Democrats in the Senate have said they won't vote for this package, may cause another government shutdown.
I certainly would not vote for any more money to DHS as it currently stands with that agency being so out of control and the leadership being so insanely bad.
The Senate right now is debating another $10 billion for ICE.
But here's the thing, Denver, Congress already locked in $19 billion a year for that agency over the next four years.
That's like three times more funding than
per year that that agency gets than it had had previous to that.
Three times more funding.
So they already have a ton of funding.
Well, DHS funding, in my mind, needs to be carved off of this bill.
We don't need to shut the government down.
You can keep the rest of the government running.
You carve off the DHS funding and no more funding for this agency without major legal constraints placed on ICE, things like body cams, getting rid of the masks, and in my belief, getting rid of the leadership.
I'll just leave it at that.
Okay.
Well, you are in Greenland and we want to take advantage of this because what an opportunity for you and for our listeners to hear about what it is really like in such a remote place.
You know, somebody once told me who had been to both Iceland and Greenland had said to me, well, Iceland shouldn't be named Greenland and Greenland should be named Iceland.
Because that's the way they look.
