On the national scale, I think whether it's Senator Rand Paul, whether it's Thom Tillis, people that I worked with when I was in Congress and respected, I really think I can't stress enough on this and I ask the Senate to hold firm, don't give the money until you get changes at [Department of Homeland Security]. dhs. You're talking about homeland security funding measures. Continue to work on getting the changes in that. But I can't stress enough that a couple, maybe a dozen Republicans spread out in the right positions in federal government could end this thing. (18:44–18:50)
