Yeah. So for example, to me, I think we need to be honest that while many regulations, right, are done from goodness, right? We want to protect our environment. We want to protect public health. We want to, when you overlap, 20 different regulations so that it becomes impossible to get a permit to build a manufacturing site for 15 years. Then we've lost the forest for the trees, right?

So I am 100% willing to have a real conversation about peeling back regulation. I don't want to hurt the environment or all these other things that we care about, but my farmers... They've been like responsible, good actors for 25 years, right? They get evaluated on how they climb ladders. I'm like, what do you do it ass backwards? Like how do you go up a ladder?

What I'm seeing is we have over-regulated to the point of not being able to get our dollars out. And look, I think about this for things that are very much like important democratic agenda items that we've gotten in our own way by making so many rules and regulations that you can't actually move quickly and show that democracy and government can work.

So let's take one that's fundamental to who we are as Americans, immigration. Everyone knows our immigration policy is broken. Is there a single person in this country who thinks our immigration system is working? It's not working for the immigrants. It's not working for employers. It's not working for the economy.

We need more, actually, immigrants in order for our economy to be completely unleashed. We need a legal vetted way to get people in. For years, people have been talking about comprehensive immigration reform, right? That we can't do a deal, Democrats and Republicans, unless we get everything.

I mean, 100 percent. Right. Everybody, everybody has blame to go around. Right. On this issue. My thing is like, you know what? It's so broken. I'll take incremental immigration reform. I will take I don't have to make it all work out in a perfect plan. I will just double the caps of every legal visa category today.

And I'll work with anybody who's willing to do that because we need more legal vetted immigrants coming here, working here, building their lives here. And to me, like that's that is controversial. I'm going to get some emails about that statement. OK, right. But I think we need to be willing to say that not everything can be perfect in this world.
