And Thanks to his actions, the money to pay them will start flowing immediately. I'm grateful, and I suspect that every American traveler will be grateful that the president has found a way to address the terrible situation at U.S. airports and finally give TSA officers the pay that they're owed.” (00:10–00:15)
