It hasn't just been a question of, oh, we brought in all these great immigrant engineers and everybody's living happily ever after. We've changed the country in that area so dramatically that the people who used to live there have kind of gone elsewhere despite the huge economic opportunities.

I don't think that in an unrestrained way, at least, that's something that we want to repeat in the country as a whole.

Right. Well, I think, you know, we could try. It's going to be really hard because the civil rights division of DOJ is not going to want to move, but we've got a nominee there, Harmeet Dhillon, who is going to be terrific. And I think she'll do everything she can to make it move.

But a lot of these things are actually, as much as people like me do talk about how we need to reform a lot of our civil rights laws, a lot of our existing laws are being violated by these companies pretty blatantly. They've got all sorts of preferences and And Mark Andreessen, who's sort of been a tech ally of the right, has been talking about this recently.

They've got all these companies that are just doing racially preferential things that damage white people that are not allowed under current law. And so I think if we go after these guys, that's going to help a lot.

If we look, I mean, there are situations where there was a whistleblower at Google I talk about in my book who says that they were explicitly being told to, like, discard the resumes of white men in particular. Right. I mean, you get a couple of painful civil rights decisions against these guys and you're going to get different different outcomes.

So I think there's a lot that Trump can do just with the executive branch. And if we can do things with laws, that's obviously great as well. But that's always a heavier lift than just using the powers that we are going to have walking in the door.

Yeah, I mean, certainly I spent 14 years at Stanford, and we saw this where you, in engineering particularly, you had just all these spots being taken by foreign grads. There's a number of problems with that. And, of course, in a place like Stanford, look, I mean, these guys were really smart, certainly at the top of the level. These were the sort of 0.1% that everybody talks about.

But I'll tell you, and this was not something that Stanford – I think has talked about publicly, but nobody put me under an NDA. So I'll talk about it. I can tell you that among our engineering and science profs, there was real concern about espionage, particularly from China, among some of these graduate students. And there were there were, in fact, departments and programs

where there was sensitivity about even having graduate students from some countries. So there, there is a lot of, there is some awareness, uh, even among these top universities about what is going on, but there's a reluctance to talk about it. And we're also boxing out our own people.
