We were just laughing about it in the studio a minute ago.

It was a year and a half ago this week.

It was October 27th, 2024, that we all went down to New York City to the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden.

It was in the final moments of that campaign.

And it was really one of the most exciting political events, even after a lifetime of going to political events, I've ever been to.

It was right in the middle of Manhattan.

New York City, a place that did not support Donald Trump, despite the fact he's from there.

And it was, again, days before the presidential election, and it was packed.

You showed up and there was a line way down the block and then the next block and the next block after that.

And the people in the line, if you looked, weren't just from other places.

They were just bridge and tunnel people coming in from Long Island to support Trump.

Some looked like they were from Manhattan.

And people were excited, really excited.

And you go inside and the place is just absolutely packed.

I spoke at the request of the campaign and was happy to do it.

And what we were laughing about a minute ago, and something I remember very well, was a sea of placards of campaign signs in the crowd, all provided by the campaign, that said, quote, mass deportations now.

Mass deportations now.

I remember thinking, well, that's kind of heavy.

I don't think I've ever heard any candidate say mass deportations.

That's kind of forbidden to talk like that.
