Glenn Beck TORCHES Senate leader John Thune for TWO-WEEK vacation

On the 41st day of the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, members of Congress decided it was time to fly home for their spring recess despite failing to reach a deal to reopen the agency.

And Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck couldn’t be more upset with our politicians — especially Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).

“He gets onto a plane, and he is out. Friday morning, he is gone. He makes a deal in the middle of the night knowing that the House is not going to accept this. So when the House gets it, they’re like, ‘No, we’re not doing this. We’re not doing this,’” Glenn explains, asking, “And what happened?”

“He’s on a two-week vacation now. They have stopped working in the Senate for two weeks,” he says.

Glenn points out that Trump can use his power to make a difference.

“The president has the ability to call back into special session and convene the Senate in the Constitution. It’s article 2, section 3. And he can do it on extraordinary occasions,” Glenn explains.

“Well, I don’t know how you define extraordinary, but let me try. Let’s see. We’re at war with the number one terrorist state in the world. Millions have come in from God only knows where, and we don’t know where they are. Fifteen-hundred terror cells came in from that terror state. We don’t know where they are,” he continues.

“Domestic terror is on the rise. The American people are shut up in airports, long, long lines. We have ICE doing that job, which means they can’t go out and do their other job. I don’t know what 'extraordinary means' is, but I think extraordinary, extraordinary occasions means like what we’re going through right now,” he adds.
