400 right now, what we're seeing on the streets of our country, Minneapolis, Washington, all around the country, that's only 400.

ICE agents, imagine 10,000.

That's what the current budget, this budget that was just passed, that was pushed through to get us to this 1.7 trillion, you know, where we were supposed to thank Congress for doing their job.

Approved DHS security strategy, FYI.

26, which we've now started in October into 27 for that funding that I just described to you for $169 billion to field 10,000 ice agents.

We don't need that.

We should abolish that abolish the entire agency.

No, I have been in the military long enough and I have lived through budget cuts and military expenditures and spending cuts that when you take a cut to the bone through programs, you make things worse.

We should be surgical in our approach to what we cut.

We should be surgical in our approach to what we fund because that's what the American people deserve.

Every single penny that goes into these programs comes out of our pocket, comes out of the food on our table, the college fund for our children.

And that penny,

should be spent responsibly, and it's not.

So I am not an advocate of saying abolish this or abolish that, but I think that we need some serious, deep reform in those agencies from the top down, all the way down to the field agent.

The behavior and the tactics that we saw in the streets of Minneapolis

That's not a coincidence.

We, the American taxpayer, paid for that training through the funding of the Binational Industrial Research and Development Program outlined in the DHS, funded under the NDAA, and written off by this Congress to continue to pay for into 2027.

And what comes in 2026?

Midterm elections.

Next election coming up.
