Hello, Minnesota. I want to say a few words about the election coming up this Tuesday. And let me start off with some very bad news. Donald Trump is the President of the United States. That's pretty bad. I think, as all of you know, he is an authoritarian. Doesn't believe in the Constitution or the rule of law. He's a kleptocrat. (00:12–00:16)
