[00:00:39] Speaker B: All right, March 27, 2026 we are all concerned about travel and TSA and are they getting paid and are they going to show up And y' all are my people. I know there's a big question mark but the the Senate passed a bill today to fund most of the dhs, the Department of Homeland Security, right after President Trump said that he would sign the order to pay the Transportation Security Administration officers. But it's not going to include immigration enforcement or deportation funding. So we're waiting on that. Obviously the next place it goes is the House. So there's our update. But again this is affecting a lot of civilians people I mean just anybody traveling right. My a buddy of mine was leaving Houston and and started a timer to go through TSA security 2 hours, 43 minutes and 43 seconds and had to get there 2am to leave in the morning here at like 7 or something. So is when she exited. But that's significant. I mean that's significant if people don't know haven't been watching the news know to get there early. I mean you could be missing flights. You can be missing all kinds of things and it's a big deal. So who knows what's going to happen. If you are a representative letter knower let them know what you think, what you're wanting them to what you want, what you want to pass. And my TSA employees all is not lost. It looks like things will be looking good. So let me know if we need help with this. I know TSA is our baby agency in the Fed. One of the one of our younger ones only started of course after 911 but they're getting to where y' all are ready to retire. There's significant retirement. Here's a service now that are eligible. Reach out if you're just done and you're trying to get out of Dodge and let's see what happens as this bill goes through the process.
