uh russia and uh china and iran over in the western hemisphere through venezuela i think the president did a masterful job on many fronts not being a warmonger but being a strategic peace through strength president stay in that lane is where i think we need to be
Well, yeah, I mean, look, I think this is politics, right?
This is all about what they're trying to do with ICE.
The Save America Act is connected to the very same issue.
It's their bread and butter.
Look, remember a year ago,
Some of us were leaning into the big beautiful bill working with the president to make sure that there was money there for both defense.
And for ICE and Border Patrol.
We put $150 billion in there.
A lot of conservatives kind of looked at us cockeyed and tilted their head.
I said, guys, you've got to look ahead.
You've got to be smart.
We used that to guarantee there would be money there to stop what the Democrats are doing right now.
So there's money there for ICE and Border Patrol.
Now, what that does is it leaves TSA and the Coast Guard and FEMA dangling in the wind.
So we've just got to make sure that Americans understand.
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.
