But history tells me that countries can and do go wrong for very long periods of time and that people will suffer.

And so I have a much higher degree of paranoia than you do.

So I look at this and I'm like, ooh, who's in power matters a lot because it's cold comfort to somebody who's not going to leave America that America is moving in the wrong direction.

That's good, I like that.

Yeah, well, I have thankfully sat across this very table from several of them, and there's no doubt that there's some of that, and I don't know how much we wanna take this conversation there, but I will say that there seems to be a very big difference between somebody who comes to the country under duress,

fleeing like you're a Cuban refugee and you end up on Florida and you're like, I got to get to work, rebuild my dental practice or whatever, and you like scrimp and scrape and we go to school and all that and you build it and like that's gangster and what you're going to tell your kids, work hard, all that works.

when you throw the bat symbol up and you say anybody that wants to come here, we've got federal aid for you.

That's going to attract a very different kind of person.

Yeah.

So I'm worried that we're headed in that direction.

But let me look through your eyes.

You were I think we only talked about this before the camera started rolling.

You came to America at 11 from what is now the Ukraine.

And how much of that colors your perception of America?

It's not my kind of place, but alas, no.

That's crazy.

Now, did you feel an unlocking of opportunity and coming to America?

And was that like, oh my God, I can't believe how good this is?

Or were you too young?

Yeah, it was great.
