And so House Republicans views were it is ridiculous.
It is objectively insane to defund ICE and to cut the funding for CBP.
And they're absolutely right.
It is ridiculous.
It is reckless.
It is dangerous.
It is a lunatic policy that for the entire history of the republic never would have happened except right now.
Yeah.
And what I will say is Senate Democrats, they are so angry.
They hate Trump so much.
My view, and we've been talking about this on the pod for two weeks.
I'm not surprised with where we ended up.
And I think it's where we will end up being because in my view, I believe the Democrats will never again vote to fund ICE forever.
For a year, for five years, for 10 years, they are just a no, and they do not care if they shut down law enforcement.
They want open borders.
They don't want criminals deported.
They don't want murderers deported.
They're just a hard no.
And so what I was arguing to my colleagues, look, this is an unbelievably dangerous and indefensible position.
it also happens to be reality.
