But what I know is, and at least I'm hearing it from my constituents in Minnesota, and I'm hearing it across the country, there's a primal scream of do something. Do something. Do something.

We're going to... I called the premiers of Ontario and Manitoba and said, look, the official policy is theirs, but we like you. We like Canadians. We like what we trade together. And so... That message of how to do it. And I'm making the case. Look, when I get asked this, what should we be doing? I'm probably the last guy. I didn't get it done. And we needed to win.

And that's where we're in this pickle because we didn't win. But I'm being reflective of what I could have done better, what I should have done better. I don't have a big solution. But what I think for all of us is what's encouraging to me, these town halls, the kind of organic folks bringing up,
