Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

OK, what?

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

We're all working toward that end, and voting really does matter.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

But there's this DHS funding package that's up in the House and the Senate right now.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

Lots of Democrats in the Senate have said they won't vote for this package, may cause another government shutdown.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

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.

Truth in the Barrel

But here's the thing, Denver, Congress already locked in $19 billion a year for that agency over the next four years.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

That's like three times more funding than

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

per year that that agency gets than it had had previous to that.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

Three times more funding.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

So they already have a ton of funding.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

Well, DHS funding, in my mind, needs to be carved off of this bill.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

We don't need to shut the government down.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

You can keep the rest of the government running.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

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.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

I'll just leave it at that.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

Okay.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

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.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

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.

Truth in the Barrel
This Week Unfiltered | Live From Greenland 01.29.26

Because that's the way they look.
