I think that right now our state is at a crossroads. We have the insanity of Illinois. We have the madness of Minnesota. We saw what happened in Michigan. We will not let that happen. The socialists are taking over [the Democratic Party]. And we have a good man that is running for governor, Tom Tiffany. He's a man of common sense. He's one of my closest friends. He represents the northern, other northern part of Wisconsin. (00:54–00:57)
