SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Trump killed this funding deal. Democrats thought they were going to be clever, and they said, well, we'll fund the Department of Homeland Security, but we won't fund ICE, and we won't let ICE agents wear masks even though there's an 8,000 percent increase of threats against ICE agents. 

Now the president in this Truth announcement that he put out said, okay, he might be willing to -- he tells no masks at airport with ICE, he says, "I'm a big proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for and are forced to deal with hardened criminals." He goes on to say, "I would greatly appreciate, however, no masks when helping our country at airports." I'm not sure if they should have to do that. I don't know if I agree with that because these guys are being threatened. They have everyone taking their picture. 

And Schumer knocking Trump on Iran, plan to send ICE to airports. Why don't they in the middle of a war against the number one state sponsor of terror, why don't they support it? Then you have this idiot mayor in Minneapolis, you know, mayor French fry, small fry, criticizing Donald Trump and his plan to deploy ICE agents -- why doesn't he just hire more TSA agents? Because your Democratic party's not funding it, you idiot. Is he really that stupid?
