And what's driving this is the Democrat Party has decided they hate ICE.

And this is all about ICE is evil.

We must stop ICE.

Now, can I tell you the most crazy, ridiculous irony of the shutdown?

ICE is getting paid.

They have failed to shut down ICE because last year when we passed the reconciliation bill, we could see that the Democrats were getting more and more unreasonable on border security.

So we funded ICE.

We funded ICE for several years going forward.

So the ICE agents are getting paid.

And by the way, the Democrats know this.

So understand, if you're waiting four hours at an airport,

The Democrats aren't doing this because they want to defund ICE.

They're doing it just because they want to show their base they hate ICE so much that they're going to shut down the TSA.

And it has zero impact on ICE whatsoever.

But look, I got to tell you the amazing thing.

the Democrats don't seem to be concerned at all.

And there's a big reason for that, which is the media is broken in this country.

They don't report facts.

And so the media is not explaining to people.

In fact, the Democrats are out there claiming they want to fund the TSA.
