And I don't think the horrific images you saw with Renee, with Alex, with Liam, with so many others, that's one thing, but it's every day.
And it's things of children seeing their parents pulled away.
I'll tell you a scene around here that is like,
know some type of horror movie abandoned cars with their flashers on their windows broken out and their seat belts cuts those are places where they just drag somebody out it is horrific it's inhumane it's doing nothing and i think for me to try and stay focused we still have to plow the roads we still have to function with government we still have to put out facts the president's saying they've they've
arrested 13,000 people here.
There's no way that's possible.
And then they're saying, well, Minnesota has 1,300 people in their prisons that they should give to us.
Our entire prison population is 8,000.
207 of them are undocumented, and they are doing time here.
or they put out something and pat themselves on the back that they captured a violent criminal that was someone that we have had in jail for years and we simply turn over when their time is done so you're right um and i find myself trying to argue when they've already moved on the question here for them do they understand that for all of that
something still holding, that organized, peaceful, massive resistance in Minnesota
forced these guys who thought they were impervious to anything impervious to court orders impervious to whatever they're not impervious to those folks on the streets and and i'm reminding folks you saw tens of thousands of people on the streets friday here in minnesota and it was 40 below windchill you can be pretty certain every one of those is going to be in a warm voting booth come november and i think that they're feeling the heat of this if you will um and again i wish they would get here because it
I think you're right.
Look, it's not any longer a political argument.
It's a moral argument.
You saw that.
And I do think that's true.
Like, look, every state lifts it up.
But on an independent look at this, Minnesota ranks near the top in almost everything.
Quality of life, health care.
