With respect, if you're doing this in 24 hours, how well thought out could it possibly be?

So let me ask you about that, because you are the whole reason, as you just laid out, that DHS is not funded right now is because you're trying to push the administration to enact some policy changes on how Border Patrol and ICE

when they are out looking for illegal immigrants.

And now what you're saying is that you're okay with funding TSA, which has been, I think, the biggest point of leverage that you possibly had in order to get what you want on ICE, because ICE already has its money.

So what was the point of the shutdown if you're okay with funding TSA?

The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances kill them.

We've already seen how ICE conducts itself.

These are untrained individuals when it comes to doing the current job that they have for the most part, let alone deploying them in close exposure in highly sensitive situations at airports across the country.

They failed to prepare for Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz.

They failed to prepare as it relates to the fact that thousands of Americans were stranded for days, if not weeks, in the Middle East with no plan by the State Department to evacuate American citizens.

Well, Donald Trump is a disaster.

This guy has been completely and totally unqualified since the moment he first burst onto the national stage, unfortunately, about 10 years ago.

And it's only gotten worse.

And certainly the context of what the country and the world are now dealing with is toxic and extreme.

This war is a failure.

It's a war of choice.

We've already lost seven service members, heroes and patriots.

Billions of dollars are being spent to drop bombs in the Middle East.

The president is unwilling to spend a dime to actually make health care more affordable or reduce the grocery bills of everyday Americans.

Schoolchildren have been killed because of erroneous information.
