No, I'm going to vote for it for this reason. I think these numbers, it's all about waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare, Medicaid. What I'm voting for is a border security measure, $80 billion, $12 billion to reimburse states like mine.

And then the tax cuts.

That means that when you cut taxes, you actually get increased revenues to the Treasury. And that's something we saw under President Kennedy, under President Reagan, and under President Bush.MARGARET BRENNAN: Chip Roy and some of these other fiscal conservatives are going to come along for the ride? REP.
No, I have. We picked up 11 Iranians, one a sniper, one IRGC, another one, a known suspected terrorist, just within the last couple of days.MARGARET BRENNAN: Were they planning to do anything, or did they just happen to have those alliances from the past?REP.
