What are the extreme airport wait times affecting travelers?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
So the discussions took place yesterday. They went into yesterday evening. They want very much to make a deal. We'd like to make a deal, too. We're going to get together today by probably phone because it's very hard to find a country. It's very hard for them to get out, I guess. But we'll at some point very, very soon meet. We're doing a five-day period. We'll see how that goes. And if it goes well, we're going to end up with settling this.
How is the DHS funding dispute causing TSA staffing shortages?
Otherwise, we'll just keep bombing our little...
You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. And we've got one very big story for you. TSA lines were out of control, but Donald Trump is stepping in, sending ICE agents to hit major airports. And suddenly the wait times are falling. So why is the media so angry about this? And how long could it continue on? Democrats said they're going to hold America hostage no matter what. I've got the details on it. It's the 47 Morning Update and it starts right now. Story number one. For weeks, Americans have been dealing with a travel nightmare. We're talking about two, three, four and even five hour wait times at airports, four hour lines and international hubs like Houston and entire terminals completely backed up with people outside waiting for hours.
Families missing flights, loved ones missing funerals, and unable to reach family dealing with medical emergencies. At one point this weekend at Bush's airport, lines stretched more than four hours. Only a fraction of the checkpoints were even open. And the question obviously is why? Because Democrats in Washington are holding the Department of Homeland Security funding hostage, even though you paid your taxes. That is leaving the TSA agents working without pay, calling out in massive numbers and just flat out quitting because they've got to find another job where they can depend on the paycheck actually showing up. In fact, we now know that more than 3,400 TSA agents have called out nationwide, and well over 400 agents have already turned in their resignation, saying they've moved on.
Now, that's not a small problem. That's a system breakdown in real time, all done by design by the Democrats to continue to hold America hostage. Which brings us to President Donald Trump. He just told Republicans in Congress to refuse any DHS deal with the Democrats without voter ID and citizenship being attached. That's playing hardball. The president speaking in Memphis, Tennessee at a Make America Safe Again event. He had this to say to the American people about what they're experiencing at the airports.
Disruptions at major airports nationwide last weekend. I am again demanding that Democrats in Congress immediately end their disgraceful shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and restore the full funding for airport security and the TSA. They are holding it up because they want to take care of illegal immigrants coming into our country. They want to take care of criminals that are in sanctuary cities. They want to take care of transgender for everybody, literally the utilization of our children. men in women's sports. But what they don't want to do is give us anything to do with citizenship for voting or voter ID. Can you imagine? We're the only country that doesn't do voter ID. Every country does voter ID.
Brought to my attention today that we're the only country that does mail-in voting. Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating. And we got to do something about it all. And it's part of Homeland Security. And I'm suggesting strongly to the Republican Party, don't make any deal on anything. The most important thing we can have is what's called the Save America Act. Don't make any deal on anything unless you include voter ID and you have to be a citizen to vote. You have to show citizenship to vote. Very easy to do. It's very insulting when they say people can't do it because they don't know how to do it.
