Tim Walz

Every indication I have is that this thing is winding up on the front end.

But I want to assure all Minnesotans, I want to assure the business owners, we don't see this as the end.

Our work just starts now.

I know who I'm dealing with.

I know that they're not going to keep their word.

I would say since my conversation on Monday with the president yesterday,

I don't think there's been a lot of change.

There's less smoke on the ground, but I have no indication that the numbers have come down.

I will say I'm concerned over the last day or so, the developments.

It's not helpful when Tom Holman talks about deployments, and he referred to the state of Minnesota as a theater development.

That's words that are used in wars and in deployments to foreign countries.

And, again, the last night when the president was asked if he was drawing down, he said no.

I believe that part about what he said.

So as far as it goes, it feels like there is –

a pause, but the tension amongst people here and the skepticism amongst people here is high.

And I have reiterated time and time again that we want to find a way forward with this and can only do that factually with them.

But we need some type of action.

Yeah.

Well, I think you stay grounded in our values.

We stay grounded in caring for our neighbors.
