And the next 10 days are going to be very telling.

Because in about 10 days is when that DHS funding deal expires.

And there is a wing of Chuck Schumer's party that is saying we want the cessation of ICE operations entirely.

And Chuck Schumer's internal polling, it's been widely reported, shows that while their base is critical of ICE, why most Democrats are critical of ICE, they do not want abolishing ICE.

But they have a base that's demanding it.

And this is a political problem going into the midterms.

Kennedy, another problem that people are picking up on here is amid the nationwide scale protests.

There are a lot of high schools that are encouraging students to do these walkouts, and a lot of them that are participating the most, turns out, are doing abysmally academically.

I think you're talking specifically about North Central in Indianapolis and Roosevelt in Chicago, where the English proficiency and literacy rate is around 24 percent.

Math proficiency, not doing a lot better there.

It's around 7 percent, 7, 8 percent at both schools.

And absenteeism at the Chicago school is around 70 percent.

So they really need to invert some of those scores if they want to see some academic progress.

That's me as a layperson giving them a little bit of education advice.

What they really don't need to be doing necessarily is letting kids out of school and encouraging them to protest when they already have such rampant absenteeism.

What they could do is have students talk about this in a civics class or an AP history class, and they can have discussions about this.

They could also be forced to take the opposite side of what they believe and try and argue it from the government's perspective.

Sometimes when you do that, it actually bolsters your arguments.

Unfortunately, these educators and administrators, they are so hung up.

on being liked like these mayors are in places like Seattle and Minneapolis and Portland, that they are being led by the mob.
