So this is not a good solution, and it's certainly not a long-term solution.

And yes, I would think that once they come up with a fix, ICE will get pulled back out of the airports because let's not forget they're supposed to be carrying out the president's mass deportation campaign.

Well, Mark Wayne Mullen was a senator from Oklahoma.

He was a five-time congressman from Oklahoma before that.

He's got hardcore conservative credentials, and most importantly, he is someone who is personally close to President Trump.

and who obviously President Trump thinks fondly of and has served as a kind of, you know, go-to ally.

And, you know, Mullen, his profile is that of a tough guy fighter, kind of a macho man.

I'd love to do it right now.

You stand your bottom.

Is that your solution?

He was an MMA fighter.

He's one of the only senators who didn't go to college for four years.

He inherited his father's plumbing business and then, you know, expanded it.

And he's attracted scrutiny for some of the

investments that he's made over the years that have made him personally wealthy while he's been in Congress.

But one thing that was notable during his confirmation hearing is that if you looked past the kind of personal animosity between Mullen and the chairman of the committee, Senator Rand Paul, fellow Republican, those two have a simmering beef.

If you look beyond that, he got a lot of kind of warm, supportive statements from Democrats.

He obviously has friends among the Democrats.

Are you a yes or a no on Senator Mullen's confirmation?

Well, I came up with an open mind, and I'm going to maintain that.
