So the interesting thing, when Sax and I were ousting Chesa Boudin, one of the things we learned was Chesa Boudin had this famous quote where he was saying, oh, well, we can't get rid of the fentanyl dealers.

I'm for drug regulation, but not for fentanyl because it's a super drug that kills people very quickly.

And it turned out, he said, all these Honduran nationals were victims.

Yeah.

Which I guess theoretically could be true, but it's kind of like in that, what do they call it, suicidal empathy category.

But it turns out this is something where ICE and the DEA have done some work.

They actually started deporting these people last year because the people in San Francisco pre-Dan Lurie refused to do it.

So the federal government actually has been taking action on this specific issue.

And we've also been taking out the boats, bringing the drugs here.

Yeah.

Pretty controversial.

Yeah.

So, I mean, this is where we'll get strong alignment and agreement, like deporting Honduran fentanyl dealers.

Like, what's taking so long?

I say the power move by...

Dan Lurie would be to say to the Trump administration, hey, can we get, I don't know, three months of National Guard just to be in every BART station and then on these four corners in the Tenderloin just as a deterrent?

I think you would get like 10, 20% even in San Francisco rioting.

I think the rest of the people would be like, okay, it's a short duration.

It's on these corners for this purpose.

Okay, bring it.
