Let me ask you this. How, if you do run, how would you address the fraud differently than Governor Walz did? 2 things. One I've mentioned and that is that As a prosecutor, I believe that people have to go to jail when they take and rip off taxpayers. That is, number one, paramount. You can't have people doing that. Number two, we have to change the state systems, clearly, so there is a better process in place immediately so this kind of thing can never happen again. (09:53–10:00)
