| 0:40.8 | Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Gurduski. |
| 0:45.2 | This episode today is unfortunately not on the happiest topic. |
| 0:52.5 | For a while, I have been hearing that there's this quiet push to get President Trump to backpedal on his calls for mass deportations. |
| 0:53.8 | They were too cruel. |
| 0:54.8 | It would hurt people, |
| 0:59.5 | I heard his reputation with Hispanic voters. It would sour his poll numbers with American people. |
| 1:04.4 | It would hurt the economy. The constant fear of rotting fruit in the fields was plagued politicians for decades. You know, no, no, no, you can't take away our illegal labor. |

He said, Joe Rogan had met with the president and had emphasized the president that he should not be doing these raids at construction sites, these were just people showing up for work, and it would be harmful. Now, I don't know if Joe Rogan has any, like, investments in a construction business or anything like that, or it's just because he saw the videos online. I have no clue whatsoever. But Joe Rogan was the one sitting there and saying that to Trump and leaving a very, very big impression. Now, I had heard this and then right afterwards, I went on the Vince Cogniz radio show and I said it up there and I didn't save it for this podcast. I should have saved it for this podcast.
