So I just concluded right before Thanksgiving, my fall season is what I call it.

That's the season that I go on tour, essentially, talking on college campuses and at private events across the country.

You know, from about mid-September to Thanksgiving, that's the busy season for most conservative events.

That's when a lot of events are hosted.

And I'm on the road,

if not every week. I mean, some weeks it was twice a week. It was a very busy season this year.

And I spoke to a couple college campuses along the way. And I noticed a pattern that was developing.

So the way that the college campus tours often work is you go and you give a speech to the college campus, to the people that attend. It's often recorded or live streamed. And after you give your remarks or after I give my remarks, students line up and they ask you questions. You're familiar with us. You've seen it. You've seen. I mean, I think I even played one of my speeches from a week or two ago on the show. And those questions that they ask are on the record.

They're videoed and they're aired and everyone can see who asks the question and hear my answer.

But what you don't see at these events is oftentimes after the on-camera portion, there's an off-the-record portion of these events, an off-the-record

Q&A at these events. And I started to notice this fall that there's a pattern in the questions

that I was getting asked off the record. They were questions that were very different from the

questions that I was asked on the record.

And one of the questions came, was coming specifically from the young men, not so much from the young women, but from the young men who were attending.

And their question to me was asking if I knew why the Trump administration's mass deportations were off to what appears to feel like a slow start.

And I say this in this particular phrasing, I'm repeating this question to you, using this phrasing because there was often almost a hesitation in this question coming from these young men.

Like they didn't want to ask this question because a lot of them like Trump and they're very supportive of mass deportations and they don't, they don't necessarily want to be critical. But when they crunch the numbers themselves, they notice the reality that the number of deportations coming from the Trump administration, if you extrapolate the rate of deportation that the Trump

administration has been engaged in, it doesn't result in a number that's a lot higher than, say,

the total number of deportations that the Obama administration conducted. And a lot of these young men

are confused about why the rate of deportations is slow, why these mass deportations aren't happening.

But the reason why they care is what's really interesting.

The reason why they care is because of the implications that it's not just illegal immigration,
