But because this hasn't been tried in a while, we're not exactly sure how it would end or how long it would take.
But we still have to do it.
Yes.
When do you expect this to happen?
My preference was, and I have been making the case to President Trump and to Leader Thune,
that the ideal time to do it would be starting a week from tomorrow, Wednesday, the 25th of February.
I think it would have been perfect.
You know, the day after the state of the union address, what happened at the end of last week was highly disappointing where after this prolonged process, uh, and these spending bills in which the Democrats had gotten victory after victory, after victory,
And they had gotten us to maintain these ridiculous spending levels while cutting spending by a modest degree.
Small victory in and of itself, but overall spending levels were still too high.
It was still front with all kinds of earmarks and Democrat priorities.
Even after all that, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats said, after all that, we're still not going to vote to pass that spending package unless you remove Homeland Security funding.
So they pulled that part out and left that ride separately.
Then when we tried to keep that funded last week, rather than saying, OK, you're not going to the Munich Security Conference, Democrats, you're going to stay here until we get this done.
We inexplicably recessed for a week.
So this put that off.
So we're going to have to deal with Department of Homeland Security funding when we get back.
I think that was a big mistake.
But I hope that as soon as possible, after we figure out how to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded, we can turn to this bill, the Save America Act, and fix this awful vulnerability in our election security by passing it through the enforcement of the talking filibuster.
All right, so I'm getting a lot of questions.
