Whether you're a foreign investor, whether you're somebody who just works and lives in the economy, which is, of course, most of our citizens, I think that people recognize we're not going back. We're not going to go back to the same old ways of shipping American jobs overseas, of relying on hostile powers to make the things that we need. And there's a lot still to do there.

And there's a lot to accomplish. Obviously, as the president has said, we're negotiating a lot of these trade deals. But man, there's just this sense among the business community that this is a new era in American economic and investment, American economic activity.

I think that doesn't get the headlines, but that may be the enduring change from the second Trump administration is people recognize we're not going back. This rebalancing of global trade is here to stay. And that's all because of Donald Trump's leadership.

Well, so I might push back slightly on that, Charlie, because I think if anybody was aware of what the judicial system is capable of, these unelected bureaucrats, it was Donald J. Trump. And I think coming into this, he very much had a general on the battlefield mindset where he said they're going to try to stop us from doing everything and we have to be prepared.

And I understand there are folks in the base, Charlie, who are frustrated with the pace of deportations. I get it. I'm frustrated, too. I know the president is frustrated, too. He has said so publicly. But that's because we're running against this wall of the unelected bureaucracy. But the only way through it, Charlie, is to actually run through it.

and to fight this stuff out legally, to take this stuff to the Supreme Court where appropriate, to find alternative legal methods when one district court judge stops us. You go on to the next thing and you try to ensure that you can accomplish the law and accomplish the will of the people. And that's just what we're doing. And, you know, yeah, 100 days is a big milestone, Charlie.

But think about this. We're not even a third of the way done through the first year of the Trump administration. And I think that what we're really doing is fixing 40 years of accumulated, bogus, bureaucratic BS. We're fixing 40 years of judges thinking they rule the country instead of the American people.

We're fixing 40 years of judges telling the president what to do instead of the American people telling the president what to do. And that's not going to happen overnight, but I think it had to happen. And thankfully, we're actually getting it done. And, you know, you talk about the Dugan case. I mean, this was a judge. who was engaged in explicit obstruction of justice.

We had people who had valid deportation orders, and this judge was trying to prevent us from doing the job the American people elected us to do. As you heard Democrats say so often, no one is above the law, and that includes judges who are obstructing justice. And there's going to be a lot of justice for people who violated the law, Charlie. That's what you have to do.
