When I met you at Crooked Con, I was impressed by how tall you are.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's what I aim to do, was impress people with my height.

Let's talk politics because I want to talk about the tragic shooting of Rene Good in Minneapolis and kind of where we are now.

The fight for Fed independence, Jerome Powell, leader of the resistance, I guess.

And this new interesting polling out of Gallup on party ID, which I was surprised about.

to see that came out yesterday.

Let's get into it first with Minneapolis.

The shootings really set off quite the chain reaction, protests in the street all over the country, a legal showdown over congressional oversight, and Democrats in blue states moving to rein in what they call an out-of-control enforcement campaign.

After ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Renee Good, activists began tracking federal operations.

Lawmakers were blocked from detention facilities, and the Trump administration responded by tightening access and warning that protests could cross into criminal interference.

That's their favorite thing to do.

What started as a single tragic encounter is now this broader fight about accountability, public trust, and the future of ICE enforcement.

What are your kind of top-line thoughts, I guess, about where we are right now in this saga?

Yeah.

I agree with that.

And it makes me think back to things that happened in the Biden administration where my colleagues were like, your eyes are open and you can see what we're talking about.

Like 250,000 migrants streaming across the border on a monthly basis right before we started enforcing the laws on the books, right?

And then the border was essentially closed, which it has continued to be in this amount of time.

And it's been very frustrating for me as someone who tries to learn from mistakes that have been made, that it's not useful to tell people what they're feeling.
