Ted Cruz

did damage to the administration, and I think it was one of the things that contributed to the decision of the president to shift from Kristi Noem as the leader of Homeland Security.

Mark Wayne Mullen, Mark Wayne, I've served with him in the Senate.

He's a good guy.

He's someone the president trusts.

I think he will be confirmed.

I think it will be a party line vote in the Senate.

We may get John Fetterman, but I would be surprised if any other Democrat votes for him.

So my prediction is the vote on Mark Wayne Mullen will be 54 to 46, that 46 Democrats will vote now.

And I think Mark Wayne, look, there are advantages to being an experienced elected official.

He was a House member.

He's been a senator.

I'm hopeful that he will bring a level of professionalism and effectiveness.

The results of DHS have been quite strong.

But I do think the testimony that Secretary Noem gave –

It was not an easy day for her, and I think John Kennedy, Tom Tillis also lit into her really hard, but I think the Kennedy cross-examination was more significant.

There's been quite a bit of reporting that the president was unhappy that she said that he knew about the ad she had run, and I don't have independent knowledge of that, but I don't have reason to doubt that reporting.

Yeah.

And and so, look, we need to secure our border.

We've had an incredible success rate doing so so far.

And I'm hopeful that Mark Wade Mullen coming in will continue with that success and continue to keep our family safe.
