So like two weeks, he's not getting away with anything, right? And so we'd link arms and vow to be a united front. And every single time, it was quite shocking because I didn't really realize this would happen. Every single time he liked us better.

I mean, he basically said, wait, not basically, he did say, turn the plane around, bring back gang members, hardened criminals who've done all kinds of bad things, who are here illegally.

Well, first of all, I think look at his background. I appreciate the fact that here's a guy who went to night school while he had a family. He's, you know, the discipline, the hard work.

Pam's already been confirmed. I think Cash is going to be confirmed. Pam's off to a great start. They're going to go to the simple fundamental principle that our country is supposed to operate under.
