Yeah, I think it's possible. This is where the fourth grade school teacher in me knows is, is fear is a good short-term motivator. It doesn't change behavior. And people tuned out to it because it seemed so unlikely that this would happen. It was over the horizon, housing costs, gasoline, eggs, and all of that. My point was, is just to show no one was asking for this agenda.
No one was asking for this stuff. And it's just weird to focus on who's using the bathroom. Like I said, I think we were trying to make an intellectual argument that let's just all be candid. We were right about right now, as it sure appears to be happening. Um, But it wasn't about being right.

It was about convincing enough Americans that this was a problem, but doing it in a way that, you know, brought to them, brought it home to them. It's like trying as a teacher. I teach a lesson and the kids don't get it. It's not because the kids are dumb. It's because you're not teaching it right. So pivot around and teach it a different way.

My first responsibility is that we win that seat in Minnesota. So I think you look at the whole field, and I think you'd have to, including me in that, to look at it. But candidly... A couple things. First, I was in Congress for 12 years, and I said, when someone asked, do you miss it? And I said, I'd rather eat glass than miss it. But I recognize that that's a different skill set.

Why would you rather eat glass than go back to Washington? Because it's so frustrating. Now, I think when I was there, there was still the ability to work across the aisle. And it's something I prized myself on, Agriculture Committee, VA Committee, Armed Services Committee. Working on things together that really mattered. And I think that's gone.

And now being in this position as, you know, executive for the state, it's just different.

Yes. But now look, as you gain seniority and it takes a while there, I would argue that might not hold true with Senator Klobuchar. She is an effective national voice. She can change policy, but she's earned that over 18 years. You go as a 61-year-old junior senator from Minnesota, you know, it's going to take a while. And I think...

The ability to be able to impact states now as kind of the last firewall against this is more important. And to be very candid on this is we've got a deep bench with people who are, you know, probably better qualified than me to be able to do that job. And they will. A blunt question. Is Donald Trump corrupt? Yeah, I believe that. I mean, I think his career has shown that.
