And they're right, because if they had gone through the normal process, this guy was going to get removed back to El Salvador.

Well, I mean, first off, the Trump administration deserves enormous credit for reducing illegal crossings by 95% year over year. I mean, we take it for granted. It's an enormous accomplishment. They did it in two months. Credit to them. So we'll start there.

In terms of executing on this deportation, I mean, I think it's a good check to remember that they do need to cross every T and dot every I and that the media is going to come after them hard. And so they need to especially make sure that no American citizens get caught up in this. But failing that, I think they do need to keep going forward.

I think there's a really profound impact here of, you know, deportations in a wide variety of places because what you'll start to see is self-deportation. You know, think about there was that student, I think, at Cornell who was one of the people who was spouting all this anti-Semitic stuff and involved in all these encampments.

And he posted on Twitter that he was self-deporting because he was afraid he was going to be detained and removed. Perfect.

You're absolutely right. And, you know, sometimes this is I would say this to there are probably people in your audience who are like, well, why isn't the administration doing this or feeling like, oh, you know, they could be doing more. They could be more conservative. I mean, trust me, as somebody who's been around Republican politics, I'm 39 now. I've never seen anything like this.

And don't take it for granted, because the next time next Republican president or, you know, in 10 or 15 years, you might be complaining that they're not doing anything at all. It's a remarkable accomplishment. And it comes from the fact that they realize, you know, think about where they were sending migrants back on military planes.

Think about the video hits they're doing where they have Kirstie Noem going down to El Salvador. These things are a deterrent. They are a demonstration that if you come here illegally and you don't leave on your own accord, we aren't going to be nice about it. And that's what people need.

That leads people to think, well, you know, maybe I should just go home on my own and just get on a plane like a normal human being rather than be deported in handcuffs on a military plane.

Yeah, that's exactly what we need. I mean, really, the neoconservatives were always so reluctant to apply that logic at home where it actually was most applicable. You know, we need to say, OK, we need to actually deter it. And so Mitt Romney, you know, had this soft talk about self-deportation. But Trump is actually demonstrating how you get it done.
