And the question I've had is like how much of this is really about an economic revenue adjuster or is this really just a political negotiation tactic?

Look, immigration has long been, I would argue, Donald Trump's favorite political issue. It is a place he feels very comfortable speaking of. And he talks about the fact that he won in part, major part, because of the border. And it is true that encounters at the border have decreased rather substantially, I believe, over the last month. So this is a place where he can point to a political win.

Thank you very much. And, you know, part of when you look at who's the guest that a president often invites, it's about humanizing and giving a human face to a president's top priorities. And this is a place which he feels very comfortable on. It is a place in which he believes he can point to actual like data wins and showing that there have been drops and encounters at the border.

I mean, what struck me about the comments was just how little new there was to say about Ukraine. You know, I was at the White House on Friday. President Trump, this Trump administration wanted to sign a mineral deal with Ukraine. They see that as part of a broader plan to end the war with Russia.

He was not here delivering sort of a grand vision of peace when it comes to Ukraine and Russia, because that's not what he has on his hands. I mean, he he said that Zelensky seems open to some sorts of negotiation and referenced a letter that he has received from from Ukraine's president. But really substantively, there wasn't a whole lot new about Ukraine.

But she also acknowledged that there are reasons why people are supporting Trump. And she said at one point that she recognizes that Americans want change and there's a responsible way to do that and there's a reckless way to do that. Right.

And so I think that multiple times you heard her acknowledge this underlying desire for change, but point out that the way Trump is going about doing this is just not responsible. And you also heard her single out Elon Musk. And I believe she called his gang of 20 year olds who are going through the system to trim, you know, and slash the federal government.
