So actually I just, I got a chance to meet Dana really through the campaign, you know, with president Trump. First time I really got a chance to like meet me and talk to Dana. I think it was, um, actually I think it was election night. Oh wow. And so like I had met Dana, like done the handshake. Cause you know, sometimes you, you in you're in rooms and you shake somebody's hand.
And so it was election night. I'm at Mar-a-Lago, uh, And I'm standing next to the president. Elon comes in and Dana's there. So I was talking to Dana a little bit. And then the president comes in and he goes, you know, all right, let's go to the buffet. He's like, well, come on. And so the president's like a key guy. Walt Maddow was a good friend. Good dude.

He just looks at me and just go with them. All right. So it's me, Dana, POTUS, and I think Elon was behind us. And POTUS is walking us around the buffet and like showing the good stuff. And the staff is like, do you want this? You want that? And so he's like, this is great stuff. That stuff's good. And he looks at Dana. He looks at me and Dana and I like, yeah, OK, I guess.

Well, the real solution is you can't allow them. It's one of those things that if you let people take an inch, they take a mile. And so the truth is how you deal with that is if you're going to be a sanctuary city, you shouldn't get federal money because you're in violation of federal law. And people may not like that stance, but that's just the way it is.

But how are you going to take my money then completely go in in complete opposition to my rules? That doesn't make any sense. So that's what I think the real solution is. You want to be a sanctuary city? Fine. Don't rely on federal money because sanctuary status is against federal law. Is that something that President Trump just implemented?

It's something that Congress, to make it stick, Congress has to do it. And so typically in the Senate, you're not going to get enough Democrat senators who are going to agree with that because they have sanctuary cities in their state and they don't want to cut them off from federal money. But I think when you talk about it in those terms, then people are like, yeah, that makes sense.

Why are you getting taxpayer money when it's clear not every citizen gets agrees with sanctuary cities. I think most citizens don't agree with it, especially the people who have to live under these sanctuary cities and see what happened, like in New York, Chicago, et cetera. So that's the number one way you deal with it. The other way you really deal with it is politics.
