Yeah, that's right.

And I think the most important thing right now is that the president, unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, has charted a path towards retreat in Minneapolis by the urging of a lot of senators who last night, you know, broke ranks and openly contradicted the president.

And it ranges the political spectrum.

You have guys like Senator McCormick, who, you know, most thought he was a MAGA type guy, but clearly not.

And then, you know, the expected like, you know, Collins or I'm sorry, Lindsey Graham and Murkowski, rather,

But then even people up for reelection that have a Trump endorsement like Ricketts.

And so it's a jailbreak to the left for a lot of Republican senators.

But it resulted in the president kind of walking back the scope of enforcement operations in Minneapolis.

Last night, he said a couple of really important and I think unfortunate things, which can be corrected, but people are going to need to speak up.

One is he's focusing, you know, the operations and messaging on only criminal illegal aliens.

You know, that's why the numbers are low.

The numbers are really not high for deportations.

We're in Obama territory.

We're getting mass communications, not mass deportation.

So you get the riots, but not the deportations.

For instance, last year, they only deported 240 Somalians.

They probably naturalized, you know, 20 times that number, but they won't show the numbers because they're that bad.

So what the president said last night was, you know, focusing again on the criminals and the sanctuary city policies.

That's not really the root of the problem nor the solution here.

He's got the tools to get it done and kick all the illegals out of Minneapolis if he wants to go on hard, but he can't blink.
