Today, Matt Wall's show airports across the country have become dysfunctional hellscapes with TSA wait times and excess of three hours in some cases. All of that is bad enough on its own, but it's even worse when you consider |
| 0:40.0 | the reason. Democrats are hellscapes with TSA wait times and excess of three hours in some cases. All of that is bad |
| 0:38.2 | enough on its own, but it's even worse when you consider the reason. Democrats are once again |

| 1:59.3 | breakdown that's currently taking place in Congress, which is now resulting in those five-hour TSA lines at major airports all over |
| 2:06.8 | the country. Now, to give you just one example of how bad it's gotten, a reporter at Reason Magazine |
| 2:13.3 | in New Orleans wrote, quote, I arrived at the airport three hours and 40 minutes before my |
| 2:18.0 | flight. I ran up to the gate, no exaggeration, as they were about to give my seat away on the |
