Vance.

Well, the truth is, is that we're already there.

The fact that Governor Walz even has to have this conversation and Governor Walz is not only a colleague, but he's a friend.

And us as governors, we actually have a very close relationship.

I'm currently the vice chair of the National Governors Association.

And so I work with Democratic and Republican governors.

And this violation of state rights.

that we are seeing this violation of basic fundamental authorities and understanding what is the proper usage of these type of responsibilities and forces has just been staggering to both Democratic and Republican governors.

So I think for all of us, there are a collection of scenarios that we now have to spend time thinking through.

that we have to spend time preparing for, that we know should not have to be the things that are on top of mind when we should be focusing on things like bringing down the cost of living for the people of our states, making sure that people can feel safer

in our communities, making sure that our states can be more economically competitive against our neighbors.

Those are the things that we should be zeroing and focusing on.

And it's just heartbreaking to me that colleagues like Tim have to focus on things like, should my National Guard prepare to do battle against ICE?

This shows the level of insanity to the place that we're in right now.

Oh, absolutely.

I think the unfortunate thing is that as governors, we are now having to spend time running scenarios that we should never have to be thinking about.

Our focus should be on making sure that we're bringing down the cost of prices, making sure that we're making our states more competitive.

Frankly, it's the things that the president of the United States should be focusing on.

It's the thing that he ran on.

And instead of doing that, he's focusing on starting wars in other countries and increasing violence in his own.
