But I can't stress enough that a couple, maybe a dozen Republicans spread out in the right positions in federal government could end this thing. They could end this and we could come back and Minnesota cooperates. We want to have good immigration policies but we are not going to send armed troops to pull someone out of a daycare who's going through the nationalization process with no criminal history. That makes no sense. It's a waste of resources and it's not our job. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, thank you so much for sitting down with us. (19:08–19:22)
