I don't think that's a great idea.

Play this clip.
Because of this nonsense, and we're so angry about it.
I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I have had it with these people.
They're playing games with real people's lives.
The theory we have right now, they have a Hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18th on the National Mall.
It's all the pro-Hamas wing and the Antifa people.

Some of the House Democrats are selling T-shirts for the event.
And it's being told to us that they won't be able to reopen the government until after that rally because they can't face their rabid base.
I mean, this is serious business hurting real people.
And I'm beyond words.
I can't believe they're actually doing this.
