they say a lot of things why don't we start there troy troy good to see you by the way yeah well thanks ben appreciate being on again yeah well that's the thing i mean uh obviously what's been happening in minnesota has been horrific and you know that's been taking up uh everything what's been going on in maine is bad but not compared to there but we've certainly been dealing with a lot uh you know susan collins has been making promises and saying things throughout my entire life and um
and what we know is uh you know they've been going around doing all kinds of crazy stuff here in maine hauling people out of vehicles you know violating their fourth amendment rights uh using kids as bait um you know and it's just been insane what what's been happening here in maine and uh yeah exactly i mean they don't let facts get in the way at all of what's been happening and then
You know, it's just something that shouldn't be.
It's not the way Maine has been.
And, you know, we're 47th as far as immigration here in Maine.
We're the whitest state in the nation.
And, you know, they're just going around targeting people for no good reason at all.
and it's hurting our economy it's certainly scaring the people in the state uh it's hurting the the hospitals it's hurting the schools it's hurting everything and if anything maine needs to welcome immigrants to the state to mean we're an older state we need people to come to it
uh certainly if uh you know there's anyone that's violated any law we want to make sure that's taken care of but that's not the case here they're just going around targeting anyone that doesn't look like me or you and and that's not the way maine should be that's not the way anywhere in the united states should be and there's no place for it in maine yeah i mean you mentioned the economy and how
mission accomplished and that to me is also part of the thing that's pissing people off it's like you made it worse and now you're spiking the foot but we're not stupid right i mean there's a component of that absolutely i mean the thing about i mean people you're exactly right i mean they treat voters like they're they are idiots and that is not the case i mean we know better and here in maine i mean our health care costs are going through the roof once again i mean they're going up even more dramatically
And people know that, people can feel it.
Food prices are out of control, our healthcare, our prescription drugs.
And those are all things that people have been feeling for a long time.
And like I said in that video,
Democrats have to own that too.
And Trump said he was gonna make all those things cheaper and he hasn't.
And that's why people are frustrated with all political parties.
And I get that very well.
And that's the things that we need to fight on.
Democrats need to step up and fight for healthcare, prescription drugs, childcare, nursing homes.
