Of course, there's benefits there. But I want to know, you said you're going to lower the cost of eggs. Eggs are pretty expensive. How are you going to do that?

Well, what I see, and I may be a little bit biased because the guy wrote a book. He listed 100 enemies. I'm not in that 100. I'm actually in the preamble. He starts it with, of course, Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell are the most dangerous people. Well, you were part of the House Russian investigation.

Well, you also need order at the border, right? And I support surging resources to bring that. But 40% of my constituents were born outside the United States.
