And now you have this historic signing.

You know, we saw it with our own eyes when Sachs and I were over there on the president's visit.

You know, he is respected as a strong leader and liked in every one of these capitals that you go to, you know, and it's paying off.

If this happens, Witkoff, Kushner and the president all deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

If even 80 percent of it works out, I think it's worthy of a peace prize.

Well, I think, listen, nobody wants abusive tactics, but let me just give you some numbers that cause me to believe this feels more like, you know, a bipartisan issue.

And we have kind of the pendulum swinging back more than, you know, something that should cause us concern.

Court ordered removals and deportations averaged 200,000 per year, 1997 to 2000.

That's under Clinton.

200,000 a year.

They average 300,000 a year, peaking at 400,000 under Obama.

right, deportations plummeted under Biden.

At the same time, we know that illegal crossings into this country kind of exploded higher.

And now they estimate that Trump is back to the trend line of 300 to 400,000 illegal, you know, deportations and removals.

These are court ordered removals.

So I might've expected the Trump number to be way higher, given that we just went through this massive step up in illegal crossings.

But I think it's really important to point out that this has been a bipartisan, consistent thing that has happened in this country for 30 years.

I'm not talking about tactics, exactly how it's going on, but the deportations have been going on by both parties and we never, it hasn't been an issue before.

And so it is curious that it is more of an issue now.

And then the other thing I would just underscore is if you look at what Daniel Lurie is doing in the city of San Francisco, he is live blogging on Twitter and Instagram the arrest of 100 fugitives per night.
