Bill Kristol

I had no idea why.

Then they kicked it out for 75 years, which...

Maybe a reasonable judgment.

But they somehow got it back in there in 1998.

And now it's in there.

And I'm sure I'm being unfair.

And I'm sure it's very interesting and all that.

Yeah, no, I mean, they succeeded in separating out the DHS bill, the Homeland Security bill from the other appropriations bills.

So the way to the next step of that would be to separate out the reasonable parts of DHS from the from the from ICE and Border Patrol.

They should push that.

I think I asked some Democrat late last week, why aren't you pushing that?

Well, we get more leverage for now if it's they're all mixed together.

I think they're overthinking it.

That way they can just say, we're for FEMA, we're for, you know, whatever other stuff, Coast Guard, I guess, and a couple other things, TSA, but we're not for ICE and Border Patrol.

You said quickly in passing, well, of course, the Dems would be against funding that, but that is not their official position.

Their official position, I think, unfortunately, really, is, you know, we have all these restrictions we're going to put out and, you know, and I'm for those restrictions.

They would improve, I guess, ICE and Border Patrol.

Pretty unenforceable.

The Trump administration is pretty good at ignoring congressional restrictions and

They should defund it as much as possible.
