Max Nestorak

Tim Walz's ups and downs.

You had a Democratic lawmaker murdered in her home last summer.

And now, again, you have, you know, Twin Cities really on edge.

How are people there doing?

I think all of us here are tired of feeling like everything happens in Minnesota.

I was at the vigil for Renee Good yesterday, and the atmosphere was just anguish at her killing, and certainly resolve.

You know, people saying we have to continue turning out.

to stand up for our neighbors.

And so there's a sense of defiance, but also just sadness.

So we're all tired of Minnesota being the center of attention, but it doesn't seem like it's going to let up, right?

Like the DHS says it's running the largest operation ever in the state right now.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstie Noem said yesterday that ICE operations did not stop after the killing, that they will continue as planned.

So there's a sense on both sides that there's a fight to be had here.

And so I think people are digging in for a continued standoff between the state and federal government.

Thanks so much, Max.

Thanks for having me.

Coming up, Nick Shirley's daycare investigation went viral and drew the feds to Minnesota.

Who is Shirley and what's he doing?
