Yeah. And he had to sign. He was supposedly a big leader. And defunding police became very popular. Questioning every move the police made became very popular. Officers left were never replaced. You've got city council people in both cities, most particularly in Minneapolis, who hold the police in suspicion. And it really gets to the heart. Just bear with me. This is a long soliloquy. It really gets to the heart of the matter of the mystery, which just doesn't like the founding of the country. It was founded by white guys, and they weren't smart enough to understand what life in 2026 was like. So we hold them responsible for this. And even their laws were an affectation. They just made them up out of their privilege and their skin color and their superiority. And finally, we've reached a point now, based on the George Floyd weekend and the George Floyd week, where we saw that we can demonstrate that look what happened. And it justified in their minds, holding law enforcement in disregard, holding them in a poor light. Mary Moriarty almost skinned alive. A state trooper who was merely doing his job. Remember that case? It's on and on and on. And as part of this cultural shift to hold the law as debatable, something we might hold in contempt, something we don't trust as part of that, along came sanctuary city movement. For example, there is no Specific law in Minnesota that declares that Minnesota is a sanctuary state. It is rather, it's a function of this culture of holding law enforcement in abeyance. There is no law in the books. It was shot down in the legislature. It never could get the votes. But the sentiment is there. And the mayors of both the two largest cities, they've enforced the sentiment by instructing police that they can't question the origin of somebody they arrest. Where are you from? So this became a really comfortable place for immigrants to come, legal or illegal. This became a very comfortable place because the people running the show in Minnesota were more than welcoming. It was a way they could continue to thumb their nose at conventional America. And we don't need laws. In fact, we intend to disregard the law. We already hold police in contempt. We disregard the law. And so we get this influx of people moving here, and the police aren't even allowed to wonder about them. And you have a Hennepin county attorney who very seldom would prosecute the kind of people who should be prosecuted. And now the years go by, then the fraud fits into this. The fraud has been committed by a certain group of people who happen to be people of color. And the same people who are bringing you a disregard for the conventions and traditions of America are going to look the other way on the fraud. It helps reinforce their belief that we should all have equity. And even if it's stolen from the taxpayers of Minnesota, we're going to look the other way. So now you got. Now you got the likes of Joe Thompson comes to town and he's fighting this wall, this wall of belief that we look the other way on this fraud. And he's chipping away at it. And he's chipping away at it. And he's making inroads. He's making headway. The fraud is undeniable. It exists. He was prosecuting people. But the overall. The overall vibe of the culture in Minnesota, at least in the metro. I'm sure this isn't true in outstate Minnesota, but I bet you can pick up pieces of it in the larger cities like Duluth, Rochester, the Twin Cities. The overall vibe is that we don't like law enforcement, we don't like authority. We don't like authority. Witness the mayor of Duluth tried to abandon the word chief out of her destroyed, failed academy belief that chief was somehow derogatory. We have a culture in Minnesota that is slid into disrepair by virtue of this, abandoning any respect whatsoever for law enforcement. So now we come to ice is in Minnesota. It should become more easy to understand why they're ridiculed, why you have people running around with whistles and yelling at them and throwing snowballs at them. Because it's an outgrowth of this culture that's been permitted to exist in this state because we've been led by adult children who led the movement to hold law enforcement in such low regard, such low opinion. So it shouldn't really be any wonder that people are out on the corner, because, my God, they're attacking my brothers and sisters who are here from Ecuador or Mexico. And these people are the same as us, and they have every right in the world to be here. We don't care if it's legal or not, because we've already been told in Minnesota, we have a culture. We don't really regard legality. We don't believe in authority, and we don't believe in this kind of system. So therefore, to me, it's no surprise the street corners are full of people ridiculing ice. Where am I going with this?
