Right.

And he saw the moment to go try to knock the knees out from under Iran, both for our benefit, obviously, to support our ally Israel, but importantly, to reset the global geopolitical landscape.

And he's done that.

I just my caution is do not get, you know, mired in a quagmire with respect to troops on the ground over there for any extended period of time.

Well, I think as everybody saw last week, I just want to give a big shout out to Speaker Mike Johnson for doing, I think, the right thing of having the House of Representatives send a shot back to the Senate, making very clear we believe we should fund all of the Department of Homeland Security, TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, but importantly, ICE and Border Patrol.

And we weren't going to allow the Democrats to isolate ICE and Border Patrol.

We need to stay behind all of them.

I know that we're working through ways to break the back of the Democrats who are refusing

to fund these important security agencies when we're engaged in conflict with Iran and we had terrorist

attacks here on our own soil and where we've got, you know, rattling by Hezbollah and others.

In the meantime, we have a weakened state without full funding for Coast Guard ice border patrols.

So God bless the president for moving money around for TSA.

God bless the president and Congress for having money in the big, beautiful bill that's giving us flexibility to deal with the Democrats who do not seem to care that they're endangering our country for their political purposes.

I think where we stand is I think the Senate needs to come back in.

I do not think they should be gone for this two-week recess.

They need to come back in, work to get a funding bill done like we passed out of the House.

If we have to do it through reconciliation, fine.

But what we shouldn't do, I think, is isolate ICE and Border Patrol to be used as a pinata and a punching bag by the Democrats.

That's what they want.

Let's do what we want.
