We are going to fund ICE and CBP for the next 10 years.

But right now, unfortunately, we just crossed.

So 44 days is the longest government shutdown in American history.

The old record was the Schumer shutdown right before Election Day last year.

That was 43 days.

So we've now crossed the line.

And unless something dramatically changes, this will continue at least another two weeks.

Yes, but it may take some time.

Remember, we've had about 500 TSA agents.

Yeah, they've quit their manpower shortages.

Now, I will say I've been in multiple airports.

There are ICE agents.

One of the things President Trump did is put ICE agents in the airports.

They're helping speed things along.

You know, what I saw in the Houston airport, the Dallas airport, the D.C.

airport was as people were walking along, they were stopping and saying thank you to the ICE agents.

It's causing some some some real panic.

And one of the very first things I did was a 21-hour filibuster against Obamacare.

Yeah.

The end of September 2013.
