They're definitely not in public equity wives for J-Cal.

Give me a break.

Hey guys, book it now.

I'm controlled by big tech and finance interests.

I guess related to the angst about affordability was the flare-up of H-1Bs again.

Trump went viral after Laura Ingraham on Fox.

Kind of pushed him pretty hard on H-1B visas, and he stood his ground, President Trump stood his ground, that we need high-skilled workers in America.

Here's your 25-second clip.

We'll be back on the other side.

Your thoughts here.

We've obviously talked to a blue in the face about the value and the abuse of H-1B visas, but it's coming up again.

And I guess, you know, at a time when Trump's popularity is a little bit low and people are suffering with the inflation not going down, yada, yada.

This seems to be like another point of contention.

And I think this has largely been solved.

I think it's a communication issue for the Trump administration because they did put this $100,000 fee on it.

That's already in effect.

And I've been saying this here at CNBC, this we can start up for a decade.

There's massive abuse on the bottom half and it's necessary on the top half.

If you're bringing in IT people for $40,000 to $80,000, it's not viable to put a $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 fee on top of that.

But if you're Google or Facebook and you're bringing in a PhD in AI who's going to get paid a million dollars, well, that $100,000 fee, $20,000, $30,000 a year, whatever it winds up being.
