I think obviously the biggest example of that is at the border, where I think at this point we are down 99% or close to it border crossings since the president took office.

You have this sense of almost, you know, when I visited the border about a month ago, there was a sense of almost boredom among the border patrol agents because there were so many people coming across just a few short months ago. that they were like, wait, where did everybody go?

And it turns out if you just sit in the signal that we're going to do border enforcement, you tell people not to come, most of them don't come. And so those who do are easier to process, easier to send back home. So I think that's where we've seen the most immediate success. I think some issues obviously...

you know, trade, bring back manufacturing, some of the things that we're working on when it comes to foreign policy. These things take a little bit longer to bake, but I think the border has been in some ways the most rewarding because you see the results so quickly.

Yeah, I mean, look, I can point to a few things, but just on the border, you're right. Obviously, the border has gotten the most attention. I think it's the place where you can see the clearest direction and connection between the president's policy and the reduction of border crossings.

To your point, I think it's a radical improvement in a very short amount of time without a single piece of legislation. We had a border invasion, and now we don't. And the only thing that changed was Donald Trump's leadership. That is a very good thing. But There are all these subtle ways in which border enforcement, Charlie, it doesn't gather the same headlines.

It doesn't, you know, gather the same focus as the top line reduction border crossing. But Charlie, you just have cartels who are not engaging in the same level of activity. who would have crossed, would have been processed and released into the country, who just aren't even trying to make the trek.

But Charlie, you just have cartels who are not engaging in the same level of activity. who would have crossed, would have been processed and released into the country, who just aren't even trying to make the trek.

That means there are probably thousands of children who otherwise would have been trafficked across the southern border who haven't been. And so, yeah, it does gather the most headlines, but there are so many parts of a successful border policy that don't gather headlines at all that I think are worth focusing on.

And Charlie, I mean, if I point to another issue, it would have to be foreign policy, because as you know, this is sort of one of these issues where I think that the president is so right, his critics are so wrong. You know, yeah, have the Russians and the Ukrainians stopped fighting? No, but have we made more progress in three months than we made in the previous three years? Absolutely.

And you have even the Ukrainians, the Europeans, the Russians, all sort of simultaneously admitting that sometimes begrudgingly, that Donald Trump's diplomacy has advanced the ball there more in a few months than the previous few years. That's a big, big accomplishment.
