We've already sent a funding bill over there.
Democrats are blocking that funding.
So when weeks go by, if they don't do their job, they're the ones that are going to be causing travel headaches and nightmares, not allowing FEMA to do its job in Tennessee after the ice storms, etc.
and then the Coast Guard not to be what it needs to be.
I trust the President and Russ vote to figure out how to move money around and try to keep us safe with the Coast Guard.
But Democrats are playing politics.
And by the way, the Save America Act is a perfect example of the same story.
Democrats want to try to block that in the Senate.
I hope soon we'll use the talking filibuster, which I've written extensively about, to try to break the back of it.
But these things are related, right?
Because soon we can't put that on the floor until we figure out this funding mechanism.
I think they're definitely tied.
Well, Glenn, thank you for making that so clear.
And for all the listeners out there, if you don't understand what we're talking about, I posted on X a memo, a dear colleague letter I wrote, walking people through what's really happening.
Look, I understand the Senate.
I was there for seven years.
I was a lawyer on the Judiciary Committee, and I was Ted Cruz's chief of staff.
I know the rules.
