Chris Ruddy is a friend of Donald Trump, who runs the conservative media group Newsmax.

He's been talking to Justin Webb, and they started by talking about what some see as Mr. Trump's greatest achievement this year, closing the southern border.

President Trump thinks that issue was the number one issue and why he got elected.

He told me that personally.

And his number one goal has been to close down the border.

And, you know, he's really close down the border.

It is not the level of crossings...

There was, and now that they're doing active deporting, deportations, there's even less, right?

So that issue is under control.

The question now is the immigration issue here.

There's mass deportations underway, and a lot of people feel that that might be extreme because the idea would be you want to remove the people that are criminals and

gang members, but you don't necessarily want to forcibly remove everybody.

The universities, I mean, he really went for them, didn't he?

And his line was that they were not free.

You weren't free to teach properly.

You weren't free to talk about sex and gender in an open way, some racial things as well.

He has had an impact, hasn't he?

I think the president had pretty strong grounds and he targeted universities like Harvard, Columbia and other schools.

And I think it's been a wake-up call.

I think there is an effort to put the brakes on woke ideology.
