And I don't know, I mean, theoretically within the Department of Homeland Security, I suppose you could have immigration enforcement that made sense.

But I think at this point, we need a clean break.

And look, the biggest thing that I want in all of this is the ability to have a conversation, all right?

And this is where this is my biggest problem with the left.

I have been unable to hold a town hall meeting for a year because a bunch of leftists show up and scream at me and don't let anyone else speak.

We had a hearing in the University of Washington on whether or not to divest from Israel.

After all the protests, we're going to have a hearing.

So the first three people got up and testified in favor of divesting.

Fourth person got up and testified against divesting.

Two sentences in, shouted down, screamed at, wouldn't stop.

The meeting, you talk about illiberal, okay?

Having people stand out in front of my house, you know, screaming death threats at me and threatening my wife, okay?

And the left, oh, well, of course we don't support.

We're peace activists.

We would never do something like that.

Okay, how about you just say, no, they did it, it's wrong, we're against it, we are gonna be liberal, we're gonna stand up for stuff.

I think that whole thing has created a major problem as well.

And that's what, I try to have these conversations and people, wow, you're just a Trump supporter.

We have to be able to have an intellectual discussion.

I guess a positive thing, I think Mamdani has done that.
