gabby, let me start with you. as we were hearing there from kelly with donald trump taking to twitter this morning to defend the aspects, the intent of what he feels about this eo, you wrote industry leaders are urging the president to tweak the immigration order. so what do you see from industry leaders having leverage to sway the president and what the white house should consider? >> well, look, donald trump met with his business advisory council yesterday and sort of walked into a lion's den on this issue during that meeting. there are a number of tech leaders, auto industry leaders and individuals across the country who have significant influence over the president who are urging him to reconsider aspects of this travel ban. they may not be necessarily asking him to completely rescind this executive order, but there are certain are that he can coider tweaking, whether it has to deal with visa issuance to individuals seeking to come to the country, people who already have visas, refugees, maybe steppwidening th
