"Governor Tim Walz"

Yeah, we were speaking of the overwhelming thing on this back... during that debate, you know, they drove me through Times Square to see my picture up on those big screens. And so somebody said, you look nervous. No kidding. I'm sitting there freaking out. But I'm honest to God, before things went live, I'm standing there and I'm like,

there's 345 million people in this country and it's me and this dude. That is just not right. And it's true. I mean, it's kind of overwhelming, but that kind of got rid of my imposter syndrome and said, look, I know that I know what's right. I know who I am. I'm trying to do right. You just go back to your values. Yes. And if you leave from that.

So Will's point is this, that I do hope people do this. I do hope they get out there because we need them. We need good people.

Yeah, and rank-and-file union members, one thing, look, the leadership in unions, that's more political than what I'm doing. They have to cover their butt on their things. And I'm as frustrated as you are on this, Will. But the one thing I do think about, you wonder what happened. The first thing I think of, there's not something wrong with my constituents.

These are good people trying to go to work and do things. And like the New York Times sends somebody out every few weeks to interview a guy at a bar and figure out what happened to rural America. These are my family. I've lived there. I do think one of the things, I always said this as a teacher, if I would give an exam or something,

and a majority of students would not do well, probably had a little something to do with me in there. Was I not getting it across? And so I think some of it is how we've messaged this. I don't think that's the full blame on it. Certainly Donald Trump is a master of manipulation, a master of what new media look like. But I do think there's some ways as what are we not doing?

to appeal to those ranked. Look, I'm a union member. I think, you know, that's what I did. And I get a lot of union support, but I know there's some rank and file members. And so they're not monolithic. It's not their only issue. But I say this, and I'm kind of with you on this, Will.

The rest of it is you don't have to worry about all the rest of that stuff if you're not in a union because you're not going to get paid as well. You're not going to have a pension. You may not have health care. You better focus on the things that matter. Stay in your lane. And so they've done a good job of distracting on things that are the cultural war stuff rather than the bread and butter.
