In other words, you can't do things that will help Grand Forks or Fargo because that's where the universities are.

That's where all the crazy politics are.

You also need to be thinking about the guys out in the western counties, Lemoore County in North Dakota or way out west.

You have to protect agriculture.

You have to protect small businesses.

You have to protect families.

what the 17th Amendment under Wendell Wilson and how they really usurped the Constitution and made the Senate a redundant, they made it a redundant House of Representatives and using the popular vote.

So now we use popular vote for that.

But if you want the popular vote in North Dakota, 85% of the population is in Fargo and Grand Forks.

So now you've got, if I wanna run for Senate in North Dakota, I'm just gonna spend all of my time in Fargo and Grand Forks.

Because if I can repeat back to those people all the ideas that they wanna hear,

I'm going to win that vote and I don't have to represent those people out in the rest of the state in anything.

So they created a redundant house of representatives.

But another reason why it happened was they wanted popular vote because there is no amount of money that you could stick into a legislature out in the western part of North Dakota.

You can't bribe these people.

But the DNC and RNC now can say, look, these two senators are running.

We like this guy.

So this guy will do whatever we tell him to do.

And it has nothing to do with the state or representing the state's rights or the rest of those legislative districts.

We're going to pick this senator, and he's getting $300 million for his election bid.
