A fear, a fear that some of you have that not enough progress has been made, that not enough has happened in the political arena, that we're not going fast enough, that our politics have failed to answer the clarion call to life that this march represents and that all of us, I believe, hold in our hearts.
And I want you to know that I hear you and that I understand.
There will inevitably be debates within this movement.
We love each other.
But we're going to have open conversations about how best to use our political system to advance life, how prudential we must be in the cause of advancing human life.
I think these are good, honest, and natural debates.
And frankly, they're not just good for all of you.
They help keep people like me honest.
And that's an important thing.
Types of cooperation that we need.
Look, I don't need Tim Walls or Jacob Frey or anybody else to come out and say that they agree with JD Vance or Donald Trump on immigration.
I just don't need that.
What I do need them to do is empower their local officials to help our local or help our federal officials out in a way where this can be a little bit less chaotic and it can be a little bit more targeted.
Like if we're trying to find a sex offender, tell us where the guy lives.
And so one of the takeaways is not just that the Republican Party base is somehow fundamentally flawed in a way that's unique in American political history, it's that Trump is a really bad candidate, and frankly, I think a really bad person.
Able to do their jobs without being harassed, without being doxxed, and sometimes without being assaulted.
And that's one of the things that I want to send a message to is, yes, come out and protest, protest me, protest our immigration policy, but do it peacefully.
If you assault a law enforcement officer, the Trump administration and the Department of Justice is going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.
