In the United States. So the TikTok CEO is saying, we work for Trump. The meta Instagram and Facebook CEO is saying, we work for Trump.
Of course, you've got Elon with his fucking like jumping around on a stage.

Yeah. I mean, I think there's a couple of things. One is that, especially for people who voted for Trump and voted for me, they see two people that are fundamentally anti-establishment. Two people that do not respect a rule if the rule does not lead to an outcome, like a positive outcome.

And I mean, it's one of the things that I really kind of sit with is I think a shift that we've seen is that people want to hear directly from us. They're from a politician. And importantly, and this is also dicey territory, I think, they will believe what the politician says from themselves, right?

If they hear it from me and the same thing, like if they hear it from Trump, like Trump went around. I don't think people understandably, like if you don't like Trump, you probably didn't listen to him on the campaign trail. But this was a very different Trump that was on the campaign trail.

And even if you roll back his election night speech and his victory speech, when he talks about immigration, for example, my district is like 60% immigrant families. And so when you hear him, he was very clear on the campaign trail saying, we're only going to go after the criminals and we're not going to go after people who came here the right way.

And he is lying through his teeth, but that is what he is saying. And so people believe it. It's the same thing with the Project 2025 stuff when he was like, that's not me. We're not going to do that. People will say, he said it's not him.

And not only that, but on paper, they say they want to deport 20 million people. There's only 14 million undocumented people in the United States. So they're going to have to proactively strip status from 6 million people who are here legally and in a legal fashion in order to meet that number.
