So, Ben, I got to say, I don't know if this is going to work or not, but I got to say, if you're an illegal immigrant, you came to this country, you went to a human trafficker, you were coming from, say, Central America, came up through Mexico and the Biden administration said, hey, we've got an app. Fill out your information. You can come here and we'll let you in. And you filled it out.
You came to America. And suddenly over your cell phone, you get, oh, crap. Wait, they want me to go home. And if I don't go home, they're going to find me. They're going to arrest me. They're going to send me home. And the consequences are I can never come back. I don't know how many people are going to respond to this, but I think this is fabulous. Listen, my view on immigration is simple.

I've summed up my immigration view in four words many times. Legal, good, illegal, bad. For the people who are here illegally, the Trump administration is leaning in, saying we're going to secure the border. We're going to remove you. And by the way, going back to our first story, if you were a pro-Hamas, radical, anti-Semite protester... And you're not a U.S. citizen. Bye bye.

You're going to be deported. You're going to be expelled. You're going to be thrown out of this country. That is a view that makes an enormous amount of sense to me. And we will see. And by the way, if we get the data on how many people have used this app, we'll report on this data on this podcast.

Yep. So this past week, the Senate Judiciary Committee had a hearing on anti-Semitism. Now, you might think given the massive rise in anti-Semitism, particularly following October 7th, given the acts of violence against Jews across America, you might think the Senate Judiciary Committee would be looking at this.
