New process, that's what everybody calls it. I think the bigger picture, though, is to go back to the mandate that came out of the election and that data that you pointed to earlier, 56% of people want this issue dealt with. It's one of the reasons that Trump got his second term. was illegal immigration. I anticipate this will twist and turn through the courts.
Some good decisions will be made, some bad. It depends which side of the equation you're on. I've come to the realization now, as I deal with all kinds of issues around the administration, that 50% of the people I deal with, internationally too, have what I call, or has been termed, Trump derangement syndrome.

What I mean by this is it's kind of useless to litigate why he's back in the White House. As I point out to people saying, look, I don't show for politicians, Trump included. I show for policy and I have to deal with the policy. So why do we have to keep? reiterating why Trump's in office. I don't care at this point because he is. And now we deal with the outcome. Now we deal with the policy.

Now we deal with the environment we're in, and we want to move forward, particularly for me as an investor. I care about the policy coming out of the White House. So tariffs is a big deal for me, obviously. I invest internationally. And so the narrative I want to have in foreign countries is, look, forget about Trump. He's not leaving the White House.

Yeah, but there's other ways to deal. I mean, your numbers are, let's round it out. Let's say it's 20 million total illegal immigrants, of which 500,000 have been charged with crimes. Everybody would agree that they should go first. And I think that's where the focus will be.
