Well, I should say they pay full freight relative in that moment to what the tuition is relative to the in-state student.

Think about the in-state student, 18 years old, probably worked a job in Florida, lived their whole life.

Their parents lived their whole life there possibly.

So all of those taxes that they paid over their 18 years, their parents' 45 years collectively built that university.

funded dormitories, janitors, professors, the chief DEI officer, right?

All of that was funded.

And so it is full freight in an instantaneous sense.

But if you take a holistic view, the kid who just got here from Shenzhen, who doesn't know what a Florida orange juice, none of that can't possibly, both in an economic sense, but I think

I mean, not to sound gay, but in a spiritual sense, you know, like in a spiritual sense does not represent our state and our heritage.

I've been running an investment firm called Azoria that actually launched at all places at Mar-a-Lago last December, 2024.

Kevin Roberts was there, President Trump, Cathie Wood.

And the firm was based on this idea that instead of channeling money into companies that hate America, why don't we channel money into companies that unapologetically stand for American values, like meritocracy, like colorblindness?

And so in 2025, I'm proud to say we channeled up to $40 million of investor capital in companies that were doing the crazy thing of not hiring on race and gender and hiring on skill and merit.

And my company, Azoria, it's actually, its ETF got delisted by our board of trustees.

They're supposed to be independent.

But it got delisted because we submitted an amendment to them saying we wanted to now exclude companies that abuse the H-1B program.

We said, look, this abuse, it is systematic.

It is systemic.

It's hurting American workers.
