Hey, welcome everybody to the Jim Acosta show. It is Tuesday. And as you can see, joining me today is New Media Rising Star, Harry, great to see you.

0:11.1

Thank you for having me on, Mr. Acosta. It's great to be here. Oh, no, you got to call me Jim. There's no way.

0:15.6

You want Jim? You got it. Jim. We'll go with Jim. Jim is good. That'll just make me feel older, but Harry, you were just telling me before we would call it, just like posting notes and stuff like that. So I've never done a Substack Live. I actually just launched my newsletter today,

0:40.9

so it's like perfect timing. And I really appreciate the platform and allowing to like flesh out

0:45.8

twist, it turns out that most people think Donald Trump has gone too far in these these removals.

1:49.9

I mean, you can call them deportations, but they're not really deportations because they haven't

1:59.2

that shows Americans opposed deporting people who don't have criminal convictions to El Salvador by more than a
