B
Thank

Mohammad
for

that
was
Mohammed
Ahmed,
who
is
president
of
the
Normandale
Community
College,
Student,
Senate
and
I
wish
want
to
wish
you
all
good
evening.
I
am
Debbie
MacNeil
a
member
of
the
League
of
Women
Voters,
Edina
and
I've
been
asked
to
be
the
moderator
for
tonight's
gubernatorial
candidates
forum.
The
forum
is
being
sponsored
by
the
Normandale
Community
College
Student
Senate
and
by
lead
Minnesota.
B
Thank
you
very
much
for
doing
that.
The
purpose
of
tonight's
forum
is
to
hear
candidates
for
governor
of
the
state
of
Minnesota
discuss
issues
that
are
important
to
you.
We
will
cover
as
many
issues
as
possible
in
the
time
we
have.
If
your
questions
don't
get
answered
tonight,
please
feel
free
to
contact
the
candidates
directly.
The
views
that
are
expressed
in
this
forum
will
be
those
of
the
candidates
and
not
those
of
the
forum,
sponsors
or
the
League
of
Women
Voters.
B
All
the
candidates
who
appear
on
the
website,
ballotpedia,
dot,
org
and
who
filed
campaign
finance
reports
with
the
state
were
invited
to
this
forum.
Let
me
tell
you
the
rules
and
the
format
for
tonight's
forum
that
have
been
established
in
advance.
The
speaking
order
was
set
randomly
before
the
forum
and
it
will
rotate
with
each
question.
Each
quest
each
candidate
will
have
one
minute
for
an
opening
statement.
One
minute
to
answer
each
question
and
one
minute
for
closing
remarks.
B
Volunteers
sitting
in
the
front
row
here
will
time
the
candidates
answers
and
they
will
hold
up
signs
to
tell
the
candidates
when
they
have
30
seconds
left
when
they
have
15
seconds
left
and
when
they
must
stop
candidates.
I
ask
that
you
watch
for
these
signs
and
stop
speaking
when
the
timer
holds
up
the
stop
sign.
The
forum
might
also
have
one
or
more
lightning
rounds
where
candidates
will
be
asked
to
answer
a
question
very
briefly,
either
in
one
sentence
or
just
yes
or
no
so
audience.
B
If
you
have
a
question
for
the
candidates,
please
write
it
on
a
note
card
and
hand
it
to
a
volunteer,
lead,
Minnesota
and
Normandale.
Student
Senate
have
also
gathered
questions
in
advance
from
students
and
others
at
the
Community
and
Technical
College's.
Our
question
sorters
sitting
right
here,
will
determine
which
questions
will
be
asked
and
they
will
attempt
in
good
faith
to
cover
the
topics
of
interests
that
are
indicated
by
the
questions
you
submit
tonight.
B
As
moderator
I'll
ask
the
questions
and
two
leaders
from
the
Normandale
Student
Senate,
two
officers
of
the
Student
Senate,
will
also
each
come
up
and
ask
a
question.
All
the
written
questions
become
the
property
of
the
Normandale
Student
Senate
campaign
materials
are
or
not
to
be
used
or
displayed
in
the
room
during
the
forum
and
candidates.
I
ask
that
you
speak
directly
into
your
microphones
and
when
you
answer
a
question,
look
straight
out
at
the
audience.
B
C
I'm
Leslie,
Davis
and
I'm
going
to
open
with
my
closing
statement
on
the
person
you
hope
they
would
send
for
governor
I'm
independent,
trained,
smart
and
ready
to
serve
I'm
totally
qualified,
experienced
strong,
a
proven
trusted,
effective
friend
of
the
people
for
the
last
35
years
as
a
founder
and
president
of
the
earth
protector
environmental
group.
As
you
know,
the
governor
manages
the
executive
branch
of
our
sovereign
state
and
the
executive
branch
is
what
I
know
well.
C
Having
trained
from
my
youth
to
working
in
my
father's
Factory
I've
been
trained
for
this
job
waiting
a
long
time
for
it
to
come
along
I'm,
hoping
to
get
a
handful
of
people
from
this
group
to
help
with
my
campaign,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
and
I'm
happy
to
be
here
to
present
my
credentials.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
D
What
I'm
doing
right
now
is
the
legislature,
Trump
and
his
associates
are
doing
war
on
poor
and
the
Republican
Party
has
been
taken
over
by
Trump
and
he's
been
a
Democrat
for
50
years.
In
only
the
last
two
years,
he
has
been
a
Democrat
I
mean
a
Republican
and
as
a
Republican
he
is
not
helping
the
Republican
Party
he's
my
opinion
is
he's
destroying
the
Republic
party
and
we
must
stop
him
and
basically
he's
corrupt.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
If
we
stand
new,
you
fine,
thank
you.
Yes,
I
am
Lance
Johnson
and
I'm,
one
of
the
five
surviving
candidates
as
a
Republican
for
the
governor
and
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
this
evening
to
speak
to
people
who
are
attending
college
or
guests
I'm
here
to
tell
you
why
I
will
be
a
better
candidate
I'm,
not
here,
to
criticize
anybody
else.
E
I
have
my
points
which
I
have
laid
out
to
many
of
you
with
whom
I
spoke
and
I've
said
that
many
of
you
I
hope
you
agree
with
the
essence
of
them
and
by
essence
I
mean
most
of
them.
You
will
not
agree
with
everybody
on
everything
and
I
love
the
fact
they
have
a
timer
here,
because
I'm,
a
lawyer
by
training
and
lawyers
that
you
know
like
to
talk
forever
and
ever,
and
so
it's
good
to
have
those
kinds
of
stop
signals
and
I
guess
tonight
we're
going
to
abide
by
them.
E
I've
had
a
couple
of
guys
come
up
and
grab
me
by
the
shoulder
and
kind
of
force
me
to
sit
down.
So
it
is
difficult,
but
I
am
pleased
to
be
here
and
I.
Also
told
everybody
in
the
hallway.
You
can
ask
any
question
you
want
to
me:
I
will
directly
answer
it.
You
might
not
like
the
response,
but
at
least
you'll
know
my
position.
E
F
F
It's
either
you
don't
have
it
or
you
do
have
it
and
I
have
the
intelligence,
the
problem-solving
to
make
changes
and
I'm
a
person
that
does
not
take
no
for
an
answer.
If
I
see
a
problem,
I'll
go
after
it
and
get
it
done.
So
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
I'm
running
I
would
make
a
great
governor,
because
I
would
have
everyone's
back,
not
just
one
person
or
two,
but
all
thank.
G
Wait
a
second
I'm
trying
to
get
my
knee
my
whole
minute.
James
Everett
I'm
with
the
Independence
Party
I,
grew
up
watching
and
these
gentlemen
at
the
table
do
a
lot
of
the
work
in
the
communities.
I
want
to
point
out
quickly.
Where's
the
Democrats.
Today,
that's
very
important
to
you.
Students
to
pay
attention
to
that
born
in
North,
Minneapolis
went
to
North
High
School
I'm,
one
of
those
guys
that
come
up
with
global
concepts
hasn't
gonna
get
good
at
cleaning
my
room
but
I'm
good
at
other
stuff.
G
I
think
we
need
a
mediator
between
the
Democrats
and
Republicans.
We
need
someone
to
be
in
the
middle
to
hold
them
accountable.
I
believe
that
the
Millennials
are
the
future
of
the
independence
party
and
that's
where
your
power
will
come
from.
My
name
is
James
Everett
Evie,
er,
ett
Google
mean
look
me
up.
G
I've
been
in
this
environment
a
long
time
and
I'm
counsel
to
a
lot
of
Democrats
and
Republicans
and
I'm
excited
to
be
here
today
and
I
want
to
hear
some
more
participation
from
the
crowd
you
wanna
say
this
is
not
a
funeral.
This
is
a
party
we're
here
to
find
out
what
our
next
level
is
of
our
next
gubernatorial
candidate
is
gonna,
be
for
office.
So
any
specific
questions
you
have
for
me:
I
will
be
staying
after
this
forum
so
that
we
can
have
further
discussion.
G
B
B
D
The
first
thing
I'm
gonna
do
is
attack
the
legislators
and
ask
them
why
they
took
a
won
a
$15,000,
raise.
They
only
work
four
months
of
the
year
and
they're
turning
around
and
they
make
32,000
so
with
them.
They're
making
almost
50,000
plus
they
just
built
a
new
building
for
90
million
dollars.
They
don't
need
it
all.
They're
doing
is
taking
our
money
in
taxi
and
they
don't
even
make
sense
when
they
lost
one
point
six
billion
dollars
last
year.
F
The
first
step
I
would
take
is
I
would
look
down
and
see
what
the
first
problem
is.
You
don't
want
to
take
immediate
action
immediately
because
you
don't
know
if
you're
gonna
make
a
bad
choice
or
good
choice.
You
want
to
see.
What's
gonna
good
choice
is
going
to
be
the
best
choice.
One
of
the
things
I
would
do
is
definitely
start
closing
the
gap
in
the
disparity
that
we
have
and
start
working
on
our
healthcare
system
where
everybody
has
it
along
with
dental
and
then
the
next
thing
I
would
do
is
start
firing.
F
C
Of
the
firt
you
know,
the
governor
manages
the
executive
branch
of
the
government
and
appoints
18
to
20
commissioners
of
the
different
agencies
to
act
on
his
behalf
from
the
Health
Department
Pollution
Control,
Agency,
Department
of
Commerce,
very
important
positions,
and
the
first
thing
that
I
would
do
as
governor
is
get
rid
of
asked
for
letters
of
resignation
from
all
these
commissioners
and
putting
people
who
are
knowledgeable
in
the
field.
You
know
they
have
people
running
the
Department
of
Commerce
that
are
not
knowledgeable
in
commerce
and
money
and
activities,
but
they're
political
appointees.
C
G
Hello,
the
first
thing
I
would
do
is
address
water
issues.
That's
a
major
area
of
urgency.
We
have
all
the
water,
we
have
more
water
than
anybody
else.
We
have
water
being
stolen
on
Lake
Superior.
We
have
fracking
going
on,
we
had
the
3m
stuff
and
that's
our
leverage
in
the
future
that
likes
I
was
speaking
to
one
of
the
young
people.
They
were
talking
about
the
oil
and
knowing
that
water
is
the
next
when
the
water
wars
start.
That
be
the
first
thing
immediately.
G
I've
already
picked
my
cabinet,
and
so
I'd
immediately
move
those
people
in
because
they
actually
have
led
with
compassion
in
other
parts
of
their
life
and
actually
have
some
expertise
around
it,
and
so
I'd
immediately
move
to
try
to
do
in
a
five
people,
because
we
have
baby
boomers
retire.
We
have
ninety
thousand
jobs
available
that
need
to
be
filled
in
any
housing,
I'd
be
building
now
transition
or
otherwise
would
be
workforce
housing.
Anybody
coming
to
Minnesota.
It
needs
to
be
coming
to
work.
Thank.
E
E
She's,
a
good
friend
of
mine,
I
asked
her
she'd,
be
my
Commissioner
of
administration,
and
she
said
yes,
I
would
hope
to
have
all
of
my
people
in
place
so
that
the
first
day
I
am
the
governor
I
would
have
these
people
officially
appointed
and
ready
to
go,
and
someone
didn't
ask
about
their
say
something
about
the
Commerce
Department
for
your
information.
I
did
work
for
one
of
the
republican
governors
some
time
ago
and
I
did
run
the
Commerce
Department,
so
I
have
a
lot
of
experience
in
running
government.
E
H
B
H
F
It
make
sense.
Okay.
What
I
would
do
is
that
I
would
treat
them
just
like
anybody
else.
They
are
people
you're.
Just
like
you
me,
everybody
out
there
I
would
protect
them
because
they
have
human
rights.
So
that's
where
I
would
push
it.
There
should
be
no
change
they're
there.
They
belong
there.
They're
there,
the
rest
of
us
does
I
would
make
sure
they
would
have
their
rights
because
they
are
humans
and
everybody
has
an
equal
opportunity
and
that's
where
I
would
keep
it.
I
would
push
there
for
their
human
rights,
because
everyone's
the
same.
E
They
say
the
proof
is
in
the
pudding.
One
of
my
best
friends
is
game.
He
and
I
have
been
friends
for
fifty
five
years.
I
have
been
unwavering
in
his
support
and
anybody
else
who's
gay
and
he
recently
has
married
his
partner
of
almost
40
years
when
that
became
legal
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
So
that's
a
pretty
clear
statement
where
I
am
I
also
visited
with
someone
in
the
hall
about
this
very
issue.
I
believe
that
I
don't
care
who
you
are
where
you're
from
or
what
your
gender
is.
E
It's
not
limited
to
the
question
here.
You
need
to
be
safe.
Every
place
you
go,
you
ought
not
be
discriminated
against
for
any
reason
whatsoever.
Everybody
should
be
safe
from
harm.
They
should
be
safe
from
rape,
they
should
be
safe
from
sexual
molestation
and
they
should
be
safe
from
any
kind
of
discrimination.
Thank.
G
G
Safe
Schools
Initiative,
with
the
initiative
initiative
for
violence,
free
families
which
made
safe
free
zones
inside
the
public
schools,
also
I'm
with
the
Community
Relations
service,
which
is
a
department
of
the
Civil
Rights
Act
of
1964
that
actually
deals
with
any
conflicts
that
are
happening
between
any
groups
of
police
and
community
or
anyone
else.
That's
having
any
issues.
Another
thing
I
would
address
is
the
high
suicide
rate
and
also
how
to
get
people
actively
involved
in
election
cycles.
G
After
the
the
gay
rights
and
I
mean
the
gay
vote,
the
marriage
amendment
got
passed,
we've
seen
a
decline
in
people
actually
being
a
part
of
the
process,
since
that
interest
is
not
there,
so
rien
gauging
them,
and
also
talking
I,
actually
worked
on
with
Andrea
Jenkins
as
well
who's
a
city
council
person
with
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
So
my
history
has
been
long-standing
and
support.
The
GLBTQ
community
thank.
D
City
of
Minneapolis
has
have
gay
rights
weddings
and
that
night
down
there
and
they're
perfectly
good
it's
there.
Discrimination
should
not
be
all
these
years,
they
have
been
discriminated
against
them.
They
say:
I
have
the
same
rights
as
anybody
else
and
it
looks
like
Trump
just
loves
to
attack
them
and
we
need
to
get
rid
of
Trump
impeach.
Oh
thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
here's
the
next
question
for
all
the
candidates
is
tuition
too
high
at
state
colleges,
and
if
so,
how
do
you
plan
to
address?
It
is
tuition
too
high
at
state
colleges
and
if
so,
how
do
you
plan
to
address
it?
Just
start
out
I'd
like
to
call
on
Olli
Savior.
No,
yes,
I'd
like
to
call
an
Olli
Savior
for
an
answer
to
that
question.
B
D
Is
really
very
high
and
what
we
need
to
do
is
I
know
it's
only
about
25
people
here
you
should
have
everybody
here,
because
the
affects
your
cost
them
in
the
next
few
years
and
the
governorship
is
very
important
now
the
tuition,
you
should
have
it
lowered
Nick
every
year,
they're
asking
for
more
money
from
the
government
in
that
Mark
Dayton.
They
asked
for
a
hundred
and
two
hundred
and
thirty
million
dollars
mark
Dayton's
turnaround
and
I've
heard
them
three
hundred
million
dollars.
D
G
Think
well
from
my
understanding
to
ition
is
the
only
thing
that's
went
up
repeatedly.
It's
never
went
down,
it's
actually
one
of
the
most
expensive
thing
with
the
highest
inflation
higher
than
actual
oil.
What
I
would
do
is
bring
light
to
the
fact
that
we
need
people
in
jobs
right
now.
There
are
programs
for
the
city
that
will
pay,
for
you
will
pay
you
$17
an
hour.
G
Give
you
40
hours
a
week
and
give
you
college
credit
to
actually
just
come,
lay
concrete
and
do
landscaping,
because
the
baby
boomers
are
retiring
and
these
positions
are
available,
and
so
I
would
also
one
thing
I
would
do,
is
diversify
to
a
project-based
learning
piece
to
where
people
could
work
and
go
to
school.
Therefore,
bringing
down
the
tuition
fees,
but
also
let
them
know
that
there
are
other
options
to
move
into
things
and
then
take
college
online
or
to
actually
make
it
a
part
of
your
actual
studies
are
working
with
General
Mills
as
well.
G
G
F
What
I
would
do
to
cut
down
cost
and
education
is
give
you
where
you
go?
You
have
to
go
12
years,
I
would
14
years
you
would
have
your
prereqs
paid,
for
you
would
not
be
charged
for
your
prereqs,
so
you
would
have
if
you're
going
for
your
four-year
degree,
you'd
pay
for
your
the
last
two
years.
I
think
what
they
also
need
to
do
is
look
at.
Do
you
really
need
all
these
classes?
F
Revamping
some
of
these
classes
that
you
don't
need,
Ford
I
know
when
I
went
to
college
I
took
unnecessary
classes,
so
there
was
therefore
is
unnecessary
money,
but
my
main
goal
is
is
to
give
you
those
first
two
years
for
free.
You
should
not
have
to
pay
for
that,
and
you
can
start
them
when
you're
in
your
12th
grade.
But
after
that
I
think
the
two
years
I
think
that's
gonna
be
more
acceptable
and
easier
to
handle
on
everybody's
budgets.
F
C
Understand
from
statistics
that
I've
read
that
educated
people
are
less
likely
to
commit
crimes,
they're
more
likely
to
pay
taxes
and
it's
important
to
have
a
well
educated
populace.
So
why
do
we
make
it
so
difficult
for
people
to
get
a
good
education
burden
them
with
loans
that
they
have
to
worry
about
paying
after
they
get
done
with
their
school?
We
should
make
it
inviting,
and
since
it's
beneficial
to
society
from
many
different
points
of
view,
I
don't
think
they
need
to
pay
for
the
highest
level
of
education.
C
E
The
question
is:
is
tuition
too
high?
Well,
in
my
opinion,
it's
kind
of
obscenely
high,
it's
stunning
I,
don't
know
what
I
would
do
today
if
I
faced
that
kind
of
tuition,
I
see
how
much
it
costs
that
even
there
community
colleges
like
this
that's
more
for
one
year,
it's
probably
more
for
one
semester,
then
I
paid
for
four
years
at
Macalester
College
in
three
years
at
the
University
of
Michigan,
Law,
School
I
had
jobs,
but
jobs
then
kind
of
paid
for
all
of
this.
So
yes,
it's
too
high.
What
are
the
solutions?
E
I
think
that
after
you've
been
admitted
that
there
should
be
some
increased
opportunities,
assuming
you
successfully
complete
your
time,
loans,
scholarships
and
I'd
like
to
make
this
point
also
and
I
kind
of
pick
on
the
University
of
Minnesota.
They
always
want
another
seven
hundred
million
dollars
for
their
budget.
Well,
if
you
give
another
seven
hundred
million
dollars,
you
know
who's
paying.
For
that,
don't
you
it's
the
students
at
the
higher
tuition,
so
one
thing
I
would
take
a
hard
line
is
say
you
know
what
these
giant
increases
for.
Expenses
need
to
stop.
Thank.
I
Hi
there
good
evening,
my
question
is
pretty
simple
and
I:
don't
want
it
to
come
across
immature
in
any
way
or
anything
like
that.
It's
an
honest
question
with
the
recent
progressive
actions
in
Colorado
Washington
and
now
California
with
the
legalization
of
marijuana.
Where
do
you
stand
on
that
topic?
I
know
that
Mark
Dayton
was
very
outspoken
against
it,
but
the
tax
incentives
that
we
could
gain
as
a
state
are
nearly
staggering
as
you
can
see
in
Colorado.
So
what
is
your
position
on
the
legal
of
marijuana
at
recreational
use.
G
Start
with
me,
cuz
I
got
dreads
over
there
and
you
start
with
me.
I'm
just
messing
with
you.
I
want
to
say
that
part
of
it
is.
You
have
to
understand
what
happened
in
Colorado
as
well.
Legalization
is
another
gentrification
model
right
now,
houses
that
used
to
be
$30,000
are
now
300,000.
The
number
of
public
school
system
is
suffering
because
none
of
the
people
who
used
to
be
able
to
go
to
the
public
school
can
afford
to
live
in
the
city.
G
A
lot
of
the
kids
are
underdeveloped
in
the
space
because
they've
been
smoking
since
they
were
11,
and
we
know
that
it
that
the
developmental
pieces
that
come
with
it
and
so
and
there's
really
not
a
lot
of
time
to
talk
about
in
that
way,
I
am
with
it.
I
do
believe.
I
don't
want
it
to
take
over
our
crops
like
ethanol
fuel
deal
with
the
corn
that
we
couldn't
eat.
I
think
we're
a
major
producer
here.
G
We're
the
only
place
that
didn't
flood
droughts
have
a
blizzard
or
get
set
on
fire,
so
our
soil
is
priceless
and
in
that
sense,
I
believe
I
would
like
it
to
be
legalized,
but
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
our
crops
here
and
I
think
we
should
take
a
model
from
Oakland
what
they're
doing
to
make
sure
that
the
underrepresented
people
get
ownership
and
that
it's
not
another
payday
for
the
people
who
already
own
stuff.
Thank.
D
I'm
for
medical
marijuana
I'm,
not
for
recreation,
because
I've
had
30
years
of
experience
with
kids
and
30
years
that
there
have
been
abusing
it
and
their
constant
you're,
not
gonna,
get
any
more
money
from
the
state.
All
the
state
does
is
wasted
other
ways
and
our
treatment
programs,
and
basically
it's
a
you
know.
There
are
note
states
that
have
legalized
marijuana,
there's
a
federal
lawsuit.
They
can
close
down
every
one
of
these
states
anytime.
They
want
and
basically
like
I,
said
I'm
for
medical
but
I'm,
not
for
recreation.
D
F
Would
legalize
it
for
one
it's
gonna
bring
in
billions
of
dollars.
Washington
states
in
California
can
tell
you
how
much
money
has
came
in
because
of
that.
Imagine
what
money
we
can
do
with
that
education,
health
care
to
our
veterans,
everybody,
and
also
it
would
stop
our
cops
from
pulling
over
people
for
marijuana
really
come
on.
Marijuana
today
is
not
the
marijuana
of
the
60s.
F
E
Mean
ask
this
gentleman:
am
I
right?
You
have
a
beard
there.
You
and
I
met
somewhere
in
another
forum,
yeah,
look
familiar
so
I
have
a
two-part
response,
medical
and
recreational.
You
know
pain
is
a
terrible
thing
to
have
physical
pain.
Emotional
pains
bad
to
have
also,
but
I
would
like
to
find
a
way
to
find
out.
E
What's
in
marijuana
that
reduces
the
pain
I
would
I
would
fund
research
projects
to
find
those
items
and
extract
that
from
the
marijuana
and
sell
it
in
a
different
form,
so
people
could
use
that
whether
it
be
a
pill
or
something
else
to
have
their
pain
reduced
as
far
as
recreational
use
of
marijuana
is
concerned,
and
to
say
that
would
be
a
way
to
raise
taxes.
I
don't
buy
that
one
that
unalterably
opposed
to
recreational
marijuana
and
to
say
we
can
raise
taxes.
E
C
Most
harmful
products
being
inflicted
on
our
young
people
or
the
society
in
general
is
sugar,
wheat
and
there,
and
they
shouldn't
be
worrying
about
cannabis,
which
have
been
a
plant.
That's
been
around
for
thousands
of
years
and
have
been
shown
to
be
effective.
It
was
just
a
show
on,
for
the
last
week
called
the
sacred
plant
speaking
about
all
the
people
that
are
cured
and
the
harm
reduced
because
of
the
use
of
cannabis,
medical
cannabis.
C
B
You
very
much
here's
the
next
question
for
all
the
candidates.
What
is
your
stance
on
sanctuary
cities?
Also,
how
will
you
support
immigrants
and
refugees
against
the
current
administration?
Let
me
repeat
it
sort
of
a
two-part
question:
what
is
your
stance
on
sanctuary
cities?
Also,
how
will
you
support
immigrants
and
refugees
against
the
current
administration?
E
Told
some
of
you
when
I
was
out
in
the
hall
that
I
would
be
straight
up
and
answering
this
as
far
as
sanctuary
cities
are
concerned,
I'm
opposed
to
that
I.
Don't
see
any
justification
for
that.
I
think
we
make
bad
matters
worse
to
say
that
we
can
have
those
it
doesn't
work
at
all
and
in
my
mind,
it's
self-defeating
in
the
long
run.
As
far
as
the
issues
that
are
existing
with
the
national
level.
Reality
is
whether
you
agree
with
them
or
disagree
with
them.
E
The
state
of
Minnesota,
the
governor,
the
legislature,
does
not
have
anything
to
say
about
them.
However,
I
will
say
and
I'll
be
straight
up
about.
This
I've
been
asked
this
question
fairly
frequently
as
far
as
I
am
concerned,
unless
you're,
unless
you're
documented
and/or
a
citizen
I,
don't
believe
she'd
have
the
right
to
drive
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
C
C
This
administration,
whether
it's
at
the
county,
state
city,
federal,
they're,
a
bunch
of
bullies
and
they
found
a
good
populace
to
bully
and
victimize
and
they've,
got
a
lot
of
support
for
that,
because
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
are
prejudiced
and
bigoted
Minnesota
is
kind
of
one
of
the
leading
states
in
the
nation
who
has
been
over
the
years
in
prejudice
and
bigotry.
So
we
need
to
break
the
stranglehold
by
being
more
open
and
aware
of
the
needs
of
all
the
people
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
C
G
Part
of
my
platform
is
enhancing,
protecting
and
preserving
our
way
of
life
and
natural
resources.
I'm
a
Minnesotan
I
believe
that
our
sanctuary
city
status
should
stay.
I
believe
that
we
get
along
well
here,
and
we
have
a
great
culture
here
on
the
ground,
I
believe
racism,
institutional
on
the
ground
you
have
to.
You
can't
even
be
racist
without
explaining.
Why?
Because
people
expect
answers
in
Minnesota,
but
I
also
believe
that
so
I
would
protect
the
people
that
are
here.
Anybody
that
wanted
to
come
in
from
anywhere
else.
G
They
would
need
to
be
referenced
to
someone
that
was
here
that
we
already
vouched
for
as
Minnesotans
and
I
would
also
run
my
sanctuary,
cities
and
connections
through
the
other
cities
that
are
already
sister
cities
to
the
state
of
Minnesota,
Sister
Cities
to
Minneapolis,
and
all
our
products
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
So
I
would
run
all
my
diplomatic
diplomatic
relations
and
also
our
sanctuary
city
stuff,
who
the
people
who've
already
made
an
investment
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
our
products.
Thank.
D
Sanctuary
cities-
yes,
Dec
make
them
citizens
and
I'm
gonna
go
a
little
bit
different
time
on
the
National
Rifle
Association.
Their
leadership
has
taken
that
to
worst
their
abusers
and
I
call
them
n
em,
a
national
murder,
Association
they're,
killing
people,
young
people,
and
we
don't
need
machine
guns
for
shooting
deer
or
anything
like
that.
Their
bullets
are
killing
people
all
over
and
if
they
don't
kill
you
at
the
school,
they
will
kill
you
at
the
mall.
So
we
need
to
get
rid
of
these
guns.
Thank.
F
Would
make
Minnesota
a
sanctuary?
States
I
want
to
share
something
with
you.
My
daughter
has
a
boyfriend
that
she's
been
seeing
now
for
three
years
he's
a
doctor
dreamer.
He
came
here
when
he
was
five
years
old.
He
did
not
have
that
choice.
He
does
have
a
work
permit.
Unfortunately,
they
yanked
it
and
and
because
he
lost
his
work,
permit
he
got
fired.
F
So
where
does
that
leave
him
financially,
I
would
protect
them
and
I
would
legalize
them
and
I,
even
emailed
Amy
Klobuchar,
to
see
where
they're
at
they
can
still
renew
their
their
work
visa
but
I'm
being
told
it's
$3,000
who
what
nineteen
year
old
has
three
thousand
dollars
in
the
bank.
You
know
what
I
would
protect
them
and
I
would
make
sure
that
they
would
be
legalized
as
citizens
they've
been
here.
Did
you
put
stop,
oh
sorry,
and
I
would
I
would
make
them
citizens
they've
been
here
over
15
years.
B
You
very
much
so
next
candidates,
let's
have
a
lightning
round.
This
will
not
have
to
be
timed
because
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
answer
the
question
yes
or
no.
Okay,
in
fact,
we'll
have
we'll
have
a
couple
of
lightning
rounds
and
then
there
will
be
a
following
question
after
that
way.
You
can
explain,
but
this
question
please
answer
yes
or
no.
Here's
the
question:
do
you
support
requiring
universal
background
checks
for
gun
sales?
I'd
like
you
to
answer
yes
or
no,
and
let's
start
with
Lance
Johnson.
D
B
B
D
B
F
G
B
So
now
you
are
so
right.
So
now
here's
and
here's
the
next
question
gun
violence
has
become
a
serious
public
safety
issue.
How
would
you
address
the
issue
in
Minnesota,
so
this
is
your
chance
to
elaborate,
but
I
wanted
to
put
out
there
your
specific
positions.
So
can
we
start
with
Olli
Savior
to
answer
this
question
and
the
question
again
is
gun?
Violence
has
become
a
serious
public
safety
issue.
How
would
you
address
this
issue
in
Minnesota?
B
D
Machine
guns
are
military
they're
not
supposed
to
be
for
hunting.
You
don't
have
a
hundred
rounds
to
into
a
deer
and
it's
been
abused
by
the
National
Rifle
Association,
the
National
murder
Association
should
be
sued.
They
should
be
liable
for
all
these
killings.
They're,
not
gonna.
Stop
it
at
the
schools.
They're
gonna
go
to
malls
they're
gonna
call
everywhere
where
public
people
are
and
they're
gonna
kill.
At
least
you
know
they
need
to
stop
and
they
need
to
take
away
their
guns,
not
the
hunting
guns,
but
the
military
guns.
C
It's
a
person's
right
to
own
these
guns
and
that's
the
law,
and
if
a
country
of
laws
and
we're
going
to
follow
the
law
that
somebody
wants
to
go
out
and
buy
a
gun,
they
have
the
right
to
do
that.
What
the
school's
problem
is
I,
guess:
they're,
not
protecting
the
students
properly
or
whatever
system.
They
need
to
do
that.
They're,
not
shooting
anybody
in
a
Hennepin,
County
Government
Center,
because
they
have
detection
systems
and
they
have
people
looking
out
for
that.
But
it's
not
the
guns
that
are
killing
the
people.
C
It's
the
lunatics
that
are
doing
that
and
making
the
guns
illegal
is
miss
directing
the
discussion,
because
that's
a
legal
entity
for
somebody
to
have
the
firearm,
regardless
of
the
size
of
the
magazine
or
the
rapid
fire
of
the
gun.
What
they
need
to
do
is
have
a
better
attitude
and
people
having
better
respect
for
each
other
and
that
will
cause
people
to
cooperate
and
less
crime
and
murder.
F
I
would
first
start
protecting
the
skulls
I
work
for
insecurity
for
eight
years.
This
girls
can
protected
and
it
can
be
protected
first
for
one,
let's
put
in
metal
detectors
once
they
go
off,
they
lock
your
doors
down,
and
then
you
automatically
have
a
panic
button
that
goes
to
the
police
department
instantly.
Also,
I
think
maybe
add.
A
little
protection
is
having
a
police
officer
on
site
in
case
that
gun
detectors
go
off
so
one
you
have
the
detectors.
F
The
door
comes
down,
it
locks,
the
doors.
Alarm
goes
off,
everybody
I
know
they're
putting
in
place.
You
know,
like
tornado
things,
you
know
what
to
do
actions
trial
to
protect
yourselves,
that
what
I
would
do
and
then
the
next
I
would
we
can't
take
away
people's
gun
rights,
but
we
don't
need
assault
rifles.
We
don't
need
any
of
that
unless
you
need
one
for
a
special
reason,
then
that's
fine,
but
it
would
be
very
limited
and
would
be
on
the
lottery
aspect.
F
G
I'd
like
to
start
by
saying
that
as
an
african-american
man,
that's
40
years
old
I
know
you're,
not
gonna.
It's
not
a
good
thing
to
try
to
take
guns
from
old
white
men.
That's
not
a
good
thing!
That's
been
a
major
cultural
part
in
the
history
of
the
country
and
the
baby
boomers
believe
in
their
guns,
and
you
better
be
careful
about
taking
people's
right
to
arm
themselves
when
we've
had
revolutions
on
soil,
so
that
you
have
to
recognize
as
a
generational
divide
there.
Another
thing,
metal,
detectors
and
cameras
only
go
up.
G
They
never
come
down
once
we
stop
trusting
each
other,
we're
in
a
bad
place.
Also
Youth
Coordinating
Board
I
worked
with
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
in
the
public
school
system
and
we've
recovered
guns.
With
the
outreach
team,
you
can
look
it
up.
The
ycb
outreach
team
we're
actually
under
Michael
Gore's
administration
as
superintendent
of
other
schools.
It
was
a
not
in
our
schools
campaign
to
actually
get
guns
out.
G
So
the
way
to
solve
these
issues
of
the
guns
is
that
there
needs
to
be
more
eyes
that
are
in
the
schools
like
we
are
as
time
as
outreach
workers
to
pay
attention
to
the
characters
and
a
different
energy
that's
moving
around.
We
also
need
to
look
at
the
age
of
the
people
that
are
firing.
The
guns,
but
guns
are
just
as
American
as
hi,
and
we
need
to
think
about
that
and
redefine
what
that
represents
for
a
new
generation.
Thank.
E
E
And
and
then
then
we
went
hunting
after
school
and
nobody
that
we
didn't
shoot
anybody
so
do
I
draw
from
that.
Well,
is
it
the
guns
that
the
people
I
think
it's
the
people?
So
how
do
we
address
this?
If
one
of
my
classmates
got
shot
when
I
was
in
school,
I'd
be
in
tears,
I'd
be
distraught.
So
when
you
do
it,
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
do
it.
We
don't
need
these
big
guns
to
hunt,
but
where
do
you
draw
the
line?
E
B
F
You
know
my
stance
on
abortion
and
a
lot
of
people.
Have
it
I,
really
don't
I
think
it's
wrong,
but
I
can't
say
why
they're
getting
it
if
it's
a
needed
health
issue,
if
you
know
there's
the
child,
is
gonna
die
if
it
once
it's
born.
If
it's
gonna
hurt
the
mother,
I'm
gonna
say:
I,
don't
know,
I
have
six
children
and
you
know
I
love
every
single
one
of
them
and
I
can't
say
I
mean
I
would
not
say
you
couldn't
get
an
abortion,
but
I
I'm,
not
gonna.
F
E
My
sheet,
which
you
may
have
picked
out
out
there
in
the
hall
I,
am
pro-life.
However,
I
also
make
it
clear
to
everybody:
I
am
NOT,
a
woman.
I
do
not
know
what
it's
like
to
get
pregnant,
particularly
as
a
result
of
a
rape
or
incest.
So
that'll
pass
judgment
on
that
type
of
thing,
but
I
am
nonetheless
pro-life
and
when
I
am
it
a
lot
of
functions
like
this
and
I
see
a
lot
of
young
and
intelligent
people
here.
D
I'm,
pro-life
and
pro-choice
both
because
I
think
both
sides
should
start
getting
together
and
talk
about
how
they
can
communicate
together
and
make
it
better
for
their
children
and
adults.
In
this
light
and
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
something
else.
If
you
say
a
que
47s
right
now,
some
teenager
walks
in
every
one
of
you
would
be
dead
with
nine
ten
bullet
holes
in
you,
because
you
don't
need
that
teenager
with
a
machine
gun.
C
Know
I'm
concerned
about
how
money
is
created
and
comes
into
circulation,
I'm
concerned
about
them
selling
high
fructose
corn
syrup.
It's
a
soda
to
children
in
the
schools,
I'm
concerned
about
economy,
the
future
people
having
a
job
and
I
don't
support
killing
a
babies
while
still
inside
their
mothers.
Thank.
G
Start
with
a
quote
from
Tupac
since
can
make
one
he
has
no
right
to
tell
the
woman
wouldn't
where
to
create
one.
That's
my
natural!
That's
my
first
introduction
to
him.
Brenda's
got
a
baby
through
the
music
of
Tupac.
Shakur
was
what
made
me
even
come
to
light
with
that,
but
I
am
pro-life
and
pro-choice
at
the
same
time,
I'm
pro-life,
because
if
something
happened
to
someone
I
loved
and
they
were
pregnant,
I
would
ask
them
to
have
the
baby
if
it
wouldn't
commit,
if
it
wouldn't
make
the
trauma,
be
too
much
for
them.
G
I'd
leave
it
to
them,
but
I'm
pro-choice,
because
I
don't
have
the
body
to
actually
make
a
child
but
I.
What
I
don't
like
is
that
we,
what
we
don't
realize
this
30
there's
40
million
people
missing
for
these
jobs
that
we
need
to
fill
in
this
country,
because
we
haven't
decided
what
we
feel
about
abortion.
Other
generations
didn't
have
it
at
that
level.
We
also
need
to
be
conscious
of
the
history
of
Planned,
Parenthood
I
think
there
needs
to
be
more
education.
Around
abortion.
G
Planned
Parenthood
was
a
genocide
or
organization
that
was
designed
to
actually
track
down,
African
Americans
after
slavery
and
destroyed
them
in
their
bloodlines.
The
fact
that
everything
gets
mucked
up
and
we
don't
have
real
conversations
when
there's
lives
involved
and
how
many
deaths
does
you
do?
Can
you
become
a
serial
killer?
And
what
point
is
your
sanity
gonna
be
in
question?
We
need
to
look
at
the
well-being
of
people,
because,
under
that
auspices
there
wouldn't
be
any
orphanages
and
like
Annie
and
things
like
that.
G
B
G
Health
care
is
a
very
complex
piece.
I
do
support
single-payer
health
care,
but
I
also
understand
the
nuances
of
even
with
we
have
going
on
with
Obamacare,
and
the
revamping
of
this
piece
I'm
also
worried
about
how
this
fits
into
what
we're
signing
over
of
our
bodies
and
also
what
happens
to
our
data
right
now.
Even
our
data
from
our
DNA
is
actually
being
sold
to
independent
companies.
G
B
F
I
do
I
think
per
each
person
who
pays
around
health
care.
Has
that
choice
to
make
their
own
decision
and
I
don't
think
it's
gonna
breach
the
data
back
20
years
ago
we
had
Minnesota
care
and
it
was
affordable.
People
had
done
on
people
had
you
know
they
could
see
that
pick
the
plan
they
wanted
and
they
got
to
see
the
doctor
they
wanted.
F
Someone
addressed
me
saying
that
it
was
none
of
my
business
when
it
comes
to
health
characters.
I'm
pushing
to
have
health
care
for
everybody
in
Minnesota,
along
with
dental
dental,
has
to
be
pushed
into
the
healthcare
system,
because
if
we
don't
we're
causing
more
health
problems
without
it,
so
I
am
promoting
self
care,
along
with
dental.
E
This
is
like
educational
costs
a
long
time
ago,
before
many
of
you
were
born
via
form.
Few
months
ago,
I
was
in
a
very,
very
serious
car
accident
near
Rochester
Minnesota,
that's
the
bad
news.
The
further
bad
knows
is
that
my
right
foot
literally
was
off
when
they
took
the
x-rays.
One
person
turned
my
foot.
One
person
turned
my
body.
The
good
news
is
that
I
was
taken
to
the
st.
E
E
D
C
That's
what
I
get
from
being
a
veteran,
it's
Medicare
for
all
the
equivalent
of
what
it
is,
but
there
should
be
some
costs
or
some
responsibilities
on
the
person,
not
loading
up
with
sugar
and
wheat
and
dairy
and
then
coming
in
and
saying.
Oh,
we
need
help.
So
there
has
to
be
some
kind
of
litmus
test
for
who's
going
to
get
the
health
care
for
free.
Do
you
have
to
do
anything.
G
Just
want
to
say
first
off
before
we
go
any
further
because
I
don't
want
it
in
my
closing
remarks.
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
you
guys
to
the
League
of
Women
Voters
I've
seen
you
do
tremendous
work
overtime
and
you
guys
are
kind
of
like
the
mom
of
politics
and
y'all
things
run.
Smooth
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Bloomington
public
access
and
cable
and
the
Student
Union
and
Student
Senate
and
Normandale
college,
because
that
wasn't
said
it.
Thank.
B
You
so
you'll
get
a
chance
at
closing
remarks
and
you
can
say:
okay,
okay,
okay!
Well
now.
This
question
won't
be
timed
because
I'm
asking
you
to
answer
it:
yes
or
no
and
here's.
The
question:
should
Minnesota
increase
the
age
to
21
for
buying
cigarettes,
e-cigarettes
and
chewing
tobacco
right
now,
the
ages
18
statewide
and
there
are
a
few
cities
that
have
increased
the
age
to
21.
So
the
question
is:
should
the
whole
state
of
Minnesota
increase
the
age
to
21
for
buying
cigarettes,
e-cigarettes
and
chewing
tobacco?
E
C
C
D
H
B
B
F
F
G
My
party
made
right
there.
One
thing
I
would
do
is
education
around
it.
People
don't
understand
that
the
first
gift
ever
given
to
United
States
was
the
Quran
from
Morocco
the
sort
of
Morocco
games,
the
first
gift,
the
United
States
mr.
Quran,
and
also
people
to
understand
that
the
judicial
legislative
and
executive
come
more
out
of
the
Quran
than
they
do
out
of
the
Bible.
The
Bible
is
a
book
of
this
by
King
James.
As
a
king,
the
Bible
is
a
book
of
dictatorship
used
to
run
democracy.
G
The
Quran
is
a
book
of
democracy
used
to
run
dictatorships.
We
need
to
understand
the
symbolism
of
it
and
also
understand
that
all
our
original
hip-hop
artists
were
Muslim.
All
the
whole
eastcoast
were
Muslim
Big,
Daddy,
Kane,
Ice
Cube,
even
on
the
west
coast.
Once
we
understand
how
Park
Islam
and
Muhammad
Ali
also
was
Muslim,
so
understanding
that
a
lot
of
our
liberation
in
this
country
has
come
through
the
hands
of
the
brothership
between
Christianity
and
Islam,
and
also
the
community
relations
service
working
with
that
department.
G
F
I
think
that
respect
goes
a
long
way
in,
like
he
said
education,
but
the
fact
is,
you
got
to
respect
everyone,
no
matter
who
they
are,
what
they
are
just
because
we
have
one
bad
apple
in
a
bunch,
doesn't
make
everyone
bad
and
we
need
to
get
over
it
and
people
need
to
start
stepping
up
to
the
plate
and
treating
people
with
respect,
and
it
starts
with
the
government
and
everybody
I
meet
I
treat
as
an
equal
I
worked
with
all
kinds
of
people
and
everyone's
the
same.
Everyone
has
their
quirks.
F
C
E
Also,
one
of
my
points
in
my
position,
paper,
which
many
picked
up,
is
that
I
believe
everybody.
Regardless
of
your
background,
your
sex.
Your
beliefs,
should
be
safe
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
I
support
that
100%
and
some
of
you
who
are
history,
buffs
or
maybe
knowledge
about
it
may
or
may
not
know
this
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
A
hundred
years
ago,
the
Ku
Klux
Klan
used
to
be
here.
It
was
pregnant
with
activity
and
the
objects
of
their
attention
mostly
were
the
Irish,
the
Catholics.
E
At
that
time,
the
jail's
had
more
Irish
people
than
any
other
population
when
Jack
Kennedy
ran
for
president,
there
was
an
anti-catholic
issue
in
the
state
in
the
Unites
dates
and
also,
as
many
of
you
know,
being
gay
or
lesbian
was
an
issue.
We
had
to
come
around
to
the
fact
that
we
accept
that
these
people
are
entitled
all
of
the
rights
that
everybody
else
and
need
to
be
safe
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
that's
a
long,
painful
answer.
E
C
B
B
Yeah
yeah,
that's
okay!
So
let's
continue
with
the
next
question.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
Here's
the
next
question
from
the
audience.
Where
do
you
stand
on
the
issue
of
clean
water
and
do
you
support
buffers
around
waterways
to
protect
water
from
runoff?
The
question
is:
where
do
you
stand
on
the
issue
of
clean
water?
Also,
do
you
support
buffers
around
waterways
to
protect
water
from
I'm
gonna
call
on
people
in
order?
Okay,
you'll
get
a
turn,
so
I
ask
only
Savior
to
start
off
this
answer.
D
D
G
Say:
stop
the
frickin
frackin.
Let's
start
there
I
believe
water
is
our
most
valuable
resource.
Mama
I
was
also
I
was
like
one
badge
away
from
being
an
Eagle
Scout
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
the
Boundary,
Waters
and
I
and
where
I
could
drink
right
out
of
the
lake
and
I
never
knew
that
was
possible
and
even
in
the
United
States
I
also
will
used
to
live
in
Texas,
where
I
saw
Galveston's
water
brown
from
all
the
oil
spills.
F
Someone
who
works
for
the
water
department
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
I
can
answer
this
one.
A
lot
of
people
don't
realize
that
your
water,
safe
there's,
so
many
federal
state
regulations
that
it's
safe
there.
You
know
what
people
look
at
it
and
the
news
will
get
involved.
It's
a
be
careful
of
your
water
I'm,
sorry,
but
the
states
and
all
our
state
regulations
are
not
going
to
hurt
anything.
That's
protected,
anything,
that's
underground.
Your
water
is
not
it's
not
gonna,
be
in
jeopardy.
Standing
water
like
our
holding,
pools
the
state's
the
city.
F
They
make
sure
that
they
clean
them
because
birds,
animals
were
drinking
out
of
the
water
holdings,
they
ended
up
getting
sick,
but
now
they
started
cleaning
them.
As
for
our
water
that
we
drink
every
day,
it
is
very
safe
and
also
we
don't
need
buffers,
because
by
the
time
you
start
drinking
it,
it's
not
gonna
hurt
you
and
the
worst
thing
is
drinking
out
of
a
water
hose,
because
that
is
plastic.
C
It
needs
protection
and
it
costs
a
lot
of
money
to
do
that,
protection
by
having
farmers
back
off
our
the
water
supply
to
creeks
and
streams
that
they're
dumping
their
manure
and
sewage.
In
so
we're
we're
going
to
get
the
money
in
Minnesota
to
protect
the
water,
it's
with
the
Davis
water
plan,
and
that
requires
industrial
uses
of
publicly
owned
underground
water
to
pay
three
or
four
cents
a
gallon
for
what
they
use
for
their
industrial
processing.
C
Biko,
free
finery,
raw
malting,
3m
company
Hormel
Foods,
for
example,
of
coke
refinery
down
in
Rosemont
and
you'll
know
when
you're
passing
them
you'll
smell
it
in
your
car.
They
take
over
three
billion
gallons
of
public
underground
water,
the
three
pennies,
a
gallon.
That
would
be
ninety
million
dollars
for
us.
That's
our
money!
That's
our
water,
3m,
close
to
four
billion
raw
malting,
two
billion
Thank.
E
What
is
the
probably
easier
of
the
two,
at
least
for
me,
and
that's
buffers
I
support
buffers
I,
think
that
the
people
whose
land
is
taken
for
a
buffer
are
entitle
to
be
paid
for
that
I.
Don't
think
it
ought
to
be
a
taking
without
any
compensation.
As
many
you
may
know,
in
many
northern
lakes,
as
well
as
local
lakes,
they
currently
have
a
form
of
a
buffer.
E
You
can't
just
take
trees
out,
you
need
to
get
consent
and
the
reason
for
that
is
so
that
they
will
absorb
some
of
the
phosphorus
from
the
fertilizer
that
are
there
and
runoff
as
far
as
clean
water.
Yes,
we
have
the
natural
contamination
which
someone
mentioned
animals.
We
can't
change
that
fish
and
so
on
so
forth
we
would
drink
all
that
water,
and
then
we
have
that
which
comes
from
business.
B
B
G
Me
make
it
clear.
This
is
very
important
to
me.
Someone
asked
me
that
about
Trump
making
decisions
to
drill
in
the
Boundary
Waters
and
trying
to
override
our
actual
local
government
to
do
that,
and
they
asked
me
what
I
would
do
in
my
party
and
I
told
them
I
would
prepare
a
secession
plan
or
make
a
threat
of
secession.
Water
is
too
valuable
for
those
who
don't
know
it.
G
That
means
that
me
secede
from
the
United
States
or
make
the
threat
I
mean
Texas
has
six
flags
because
it
left
a
couple
times
when
it
decided
in
like
what
was
going
on.
Our
water
is
very
valuable
and-
and
so
that
was
the
stance
and
also
we
have
the
one
of
the
best
Park
systems
in
the
country.
I
was
raised
in
the
Park
System
Park
sports,
and
all
that
we
have
apple
orchards.
G
That's
a
major
priority,
because
livability
comes
down
to
places
where
people
can
be
recreative
with
their
family
and
friends,
and
so
that's
a
very
important
place
to
me,
but
the
also
the
Boundary
Waters,
that's
our
last
pure
water.
It's
a
major
piece
for
us
and
if
you
haven't
been
there
to
go
there
and
see
the
beauty
would
make
you
understand
the
value,
the
resources
that
people
are
trying
to
raid.
G
D
F
We
get
a
lot
in
place
right
now
already
protecting
our
boundary
waters,
our
rivers,
our
lakes
and
I,
would
keep
that
in
place.
I
know
the
federal
government
dropped.
15%
of
the
EPA
wasn't
happy
about
that,
because
that
does
make
a
big
difference
when
it
comes
to
Pollution
Control,
but
Minnesota
has
the
money
to
protect
their
own
land
and
I
would
keep
the
strict
laws
in
place,
along
with
the
fragile
and
hold
everybody
accountable.
F
E
The
Boundary
Waters
is
a
place.
I've
been
many
many
times.
I
hiked
up
in
there
carried
the
canoe
and
my
back
and
thought.
I
wasn't
gonna,
make
it
a
few
times,
but
I
always
did
the
longer.
I
walked
the
tougher
I
got,
and
so
I
like
it
I
like
that
area
and
I
would
not
want
to
see
it
disturbed
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
I
know
we
had
to
learn
the
hard
way
what
we
take
in
we
take
out,
but
that
was
good.
That
was
positive.
E
C
Unless
I'm
mistaken,
our
public
lands
and
Parks
are
being
well
looked
after
by
the
Forest
Service
and
the
Department
of
Natural,
Resources
and
others.
But
this
question
I
think,
is
a
two-parter.
That's
that
point.
When
you
come
to
the
Boundary
Waters
and
you
have
one
of
the
most
damaging
destroying
companies
trying
to
come
in
being
very
successful,
so
far
looks
like
they're
going
to
have
their
way.
C
The
polyMet
mining
has
a
sulfide
mining
proposal
that,
in
order
to
get
the
minerals
out
of
the
earth,
you
have
to
use
acidic
process
in
water
and
ask
create
what
they
call
acid
mine,
drainage
and
over
time,
no
matter
how
much
insurance
money
they
put
up,
no
matter
how
much
money
and
caution
has
put
to
it.
You
can't
stop
the
water
flow
of
acid
mine,
drainage.
It
will
guarantee
get
into
the
Boundary
Waters
if
they're
allowed
to
go
forward
with
that
project.
Thank.
B
What
is
your
stance
regarding
immigration
of
East
Africans?
Let
me
repeat
the
question
considering
that
Minnesota
has
the
highest
percentage
of
Somali
Americans
in
the
country
and
that
Somalia
is
considered
a
terrorist
hotspot
and
was
on
the
immigration
ban.
What
is
your
stance
regarding
immigration
of
East,
Africans.
E
Know
a
Bachelor
by
answering
a
question
so
I
don't
see
this
as
being
something
that's
specific
to
Somalians
or
some
part
of
Africa
I
think
this
is
a
broader
question
and
the
state
of
Minnesota
has
nothing
to
say
really
about
who
is
or
is
not
going
to
be
admitted
to
the
United
States.
That's
not
a
process.
The
state
of
Minnesota
has
any
control
over.
It's
not
a
process
that
any
governor
has
any
process
over
control
or
I
do
believe
this
that
everyone
needs
to
be
applied
equally
and
I.
E
Think
you
need
to
come
through
the
system,
and
probably
everyone
in
this
room,
or
at
least
most
of
the
people
in
this
room
have
come
through
this
system.
My
ancestors
came
here
150
years
ago
and
we
had
to
go
through
the
process.
We
had
to
go
through
the
system
and
I
think
it's
unfair
to
those
people
who
have
become
over
here
and
gone
through
the
process
to
others
come
in
here
and
not
be
subjected
to
the
process.
E
G
Would
I
would
go
a
different
direction
and
focused
toward
legacy
I
worked
very
closely
and
was
in
charge
of
the
inner
city
organized
for
a
Wellstone
when
he
was
alive
and
some
of
the
work
that
we
did
was
underpinning
some
of
the
work
we
did
actually
led
to
camp
Wellstone
I'm
interested
in
organizing.
He
was
a.
He
was
a
huge
friend
to
the
Somali
community
in
East
Africa
community.
So
I
worked
with
I
worked
with
Wellstone
on
these
issues.
Also
I
was
a
part
of
the
first
Somali
Job
Fair.
C
States,
there's
no
panacea
and
they
wouldn't
come
here
if
they
had
something
going
for
them
than
the
other
part
of
the
world.
If
somebody,
you
don't
see
a
lot
of
wealthy
Mexican
people
or
a
lot
of
wealthy
Somali
people
coming
to
the
United,
States
or
Minnesota
mr.
poor
people,
and
we
need
to
help
them
in
place
better.
C
D
They
make
the
threat
side
almost
daily
and
I've
never
had
any
problems
with
these
people
for
20
years
they
I've
talked
to
them.
They,
they
are
very
concerned
about
the
future
and
they
want
to
bring
their
families,
which
is
reasonable
and
the
other
part
is
you
know.
If
you
lived
in
hid
their
country
and
they're,
you
know
getting
killed
and
everybody
you
know
murdering
and
basically
they
would
want
to
come
here
and
we
should
have
open
arms
and
accept
them.
Thank,
You,
Jenny,
roads.
B
F
Get
the
question
its
kind
of
two-parter,
my
stance
on
it
is
right.
It's
it's
not
really
not
up
to
our
local
governments
up
to
our
federal
government,
but
what
Minnesota
can
do
is
actually
wherever
Somalia
Africa
is
that
back
in
the
day
we
had
students
come
over
from
abroad
and
learn
in
the
United
States.
We
have
a
lot
to
offer.
So
I
kind
of
agree
with
Leslie
here.
Is
that
why
don't
we
have
more?
F
Students
come
over,
go
to
school
and
learn
a
good
education
and
bring
that
back,
and
you
know
bring
what
they
learn
back
to
where
they
are
so
that
way,
everybody
has
the
same
eco
opportunity,
because
everybody
has
that
right
to
education,
I'm
open
for
letting
them
come
over
to
go
to
school
and
learn
our
ways
and
to
bring
back
what
they
learn
to
them,
because
I
think
it
should
be
fair
not
only
for
them
to
come
over,
but
also
they
should
have
the
same
opportunity.
Whoever
they
left
behind
I
saw
a
story.
F
B
B
B
G
I've,
looked
at
the
Independence
Party
and
worked
with
them.
Often
oh
and
I've
worked
with
the
Green
Party
and
stuff
before
I
studied
the
party
before
I
came
into
it
I'm.
Actually,
one
of
the
only
people
are
eligible
actually
through
the
endorsement
process
to
go
forward,
but
we're
a
party
of
inclusion
and
conversation
on
me
and
Miss.
Rhodes
here
are
very
close
and
we
have
a
lot
of
conversation.
It's
party
folks,
so
I
will
be
moving
forward
and
if
I
was
an
independent
candidate,
I
would
be
moving
forward
as
well.
B
E
E
B
F
I
don't
find
this
out
until
I
win
as
James
said
that
independent
needs
to
be
heard.
There
is,
if
you
listen
to
the
news
crew.
You
won't
hear
one
independent
party's
name
on
there.
I
did
reach
out
to
the
Star
Tribune,
because
I
did
know
one
of
the
writers.
That
did
a
story
on
me
a
few
years
ago
and
he
was
gonna
pass
it
over
to
the
political
party,
but
I'm,
not
gonna
waste
hold
my
breath
on
that
one,
but
no
I'm
gonna
run.
C
Tried
that
party
approach
and
I'm,
just
not
a
party
puppet
kind
of
guy
I'm,
an
independent
candidate
and
I,
will
be
on
the
ballot
in
November
because
in
Minnesota
there's
a
two-week
window
at
the
end
of
May,
beginning
of
June,
where,
if
a
candidate
like
myself,
gets
2000
signatures
on
a
petition,
then
they
go
to
the
general
election
in
November,
no
primary,
nothing
to
interrupt
in
between
so
I'm
running
right
to
the
ballot.
These
other
people
have
to
stop
along
the
way.
They've
got
a
fussing
fight
with
each
other.
C
B
C
Most
important
issue
is
money
where
it
comes
from
and
how
it
comes
into
circulation.
Today
it
comes
in
as
debt
whether
Davis
administration
will
begin
to
move
to
a
wealth
money
system
and
begin
to
buy
the
debt
out
of
the
system,
because
you
can't
pay
debt
with
debt
and
get
out
of
debt.
Money
is
the
most
important
issue.
Okay,.
B
E
D
D
B
D
F
We
should
raise
the
minimum
wage,
but
it's
not
gonna
solve
the
problem
because
everybody
else
is
just
gonna
raise
the
rates,
their
money,
the
rents,
everything
else
I
think
there
needs
to
be
more
to
it.
Besides,
just
raising
the
way
the
rate
so
I
I
can't
speak
now.
The
last
question
I
think
raising
the
wage
would
be
good,
but
we
need
to
do
more
about
it
because,
like
there's,
not
gonna
be
affordable,
housing
they're
not
gonna,
be
able
to
afford
anything.
Now,
it's
not
much
money
$15
an
hour.
Can
you
buy
groceries?
F
C
Know
you
consider
2000
hours
is
a
year's
worth
of
work
for
a
person,
so
if
they're
going
to
make
$15
an
hour,
basically
generally
they're
gonna
have
$30,000
a
year.
What
are
you
gonna
do?
If
you
have
a
family,
you
got
a
couple
of
kids.
How
far
you
going
to
go
with
$30,000
a
year
when
rent
is
$12,000
of
that
30,000
in
the
old
days,
rent
used
to
be
about
20
or
25
percent
of
what
your
annual
income
would
be.
C
G
Support
the
$15
minimum
wage
actually
worked
with
neighborhood
organized
for
change
to
actually
get
it
raised.
Some
of
the
first
committees
about
the
59
hour
wage
actually
started
on
my
Facebook
page
I
was
one
of
the
original
contractors
pulling
people
in
for
the
$15
an
hour
wage
piece
I.
Currently
a
meeting
with
was
meeting
with
appetite
for
change
about
the
workforce,
development
stuff
for
the
youth
that
are
actually
and
how
that
will
affect
their
adjustment
for
youth
programming
and
youth
enterprise.
G
I
also
believe
I
work
with
Bill
Strickland
from
the
Manchester
craftsmen's
guild
and
working
on
a
center
called
the
Twin
Cities
Center
fires
technology
that
will
be
working
on
workforce
development
because
with
the
silver
tsunami
and
those
who
don't
know
what
that
is
that's
what
the
baby
boomers
retiring.
We
have
these
positions
that
are
available
that
so,
instead
of
looking
at
it
as
charging
$15
an
hour
and
as
a
deficit,
what
we're
saying
is
that
workforce
development
can
start
in
the
public
school
system.
G
Brenda
cassellius
education,
commissioner,
actually
said
she
would
commission
if
she
had
the
power
to
to
let
seniors,
take
their
senior
year
off,
set
their
project-based
learning
plan
up
for
11th
grade,
take
their
senior
year
off
and
actually
going
to
work
studies
and
actually
start
to
go
into
the
workforce.
We
have
to
protect
our
workforce.
Thank.
E
Surprise,
perhaps
to
any
of
you
but
I
believe
in
the
private
enterprise
system
and
I'm
in
favor
of
people
making
lots
of
money
the
more
they
make.
The
happier
I
will
be
and
the
happier
the
state
of
Minnesota
will
be
because
they
will
pay
more
taxes
and
taxes
will
help
create
more
business
opportunities
which
will
employ
more
people
which
will
in
turn
result
in
more
taxes.
The
solution
is
not
to
have
some
guidelines
set
by
a
municipality
or
a
state,
because
some
of
those
businesses
will
reality
wise,
go
to
business.
E
They'll
go
out
of
business,
they'll
lay
off
some
employees
and
those
employees
will
no
longer
have
jobs,
so
you
need
to
have
better
jobs.
We
need
to
work
with
industry
to
create
meaningful
training
programs.
Someone
told
me
when
I
was
driving
down
here
now
that
there
are
schools,
you
can
go
to
to
learn
how
to
weld,
and
once
you
finish,
that
school
welders
are
in
high
demand
and
they
make
seventy
thousand
dollars
a
year.
E
B
G
First
of
all,
elders
sitting
down
can
see
further
than
children
standing
up.
Can
we
give
a
round
of
applause
to
the
people
that
are
on
this
campaign
and
on
this
panel
please
can
y'all
give
a
round
of
applause.
I've
watched
these
people.
These
are
some
of
the
people
that
inspire
me
that
have
a
few
years
on
me
that
I've
actually
learned
a
lot
from
I
would
leave
you
with
I
can
talk,
but
I
was
with
a
minute
left.
I
would
say
the
compassionate
rebel
revolution.
Is
the
book
I?
G
Want
you
to
look
up,
that's
by
Burt
Burrell,
oh
that
book
actually
talks
about
my
cabinet
and
I'm
featured
in
the
future
makers
section
in
the
governor.

is
my
chapter
and
it
talks
about
what
we're
doing
now
back
in
2011
and
actually,
as
a
study
guy,
will
be
bring
to
the
school
look
up.
The
youth
Coordinating
Board
in
the
city,
page
search
engine,
because
that'll
speak
about
our
work
with
guns
and
stuff
in
the
schools
and
on
my
page
for
Facebook
is
James
Everett
for
governor
of
Minnesota
or
it's
MN,
gov
2018.
G
The
gun
thing
is
too
hard
to
talk
about
in
one
minute
when
500
dead,
friends
and
400
dead,
kids
that
you
worked
with,
so
this
minutes
do
limit
our
actual
abilities
to
speak
on
certain
things,
and
my
website
is
vote
James
for
gov
and
I'll
be
available
after
this
discussion,
BAM
I
beat
it
did
not.
Thank.

All
of
my
life
there's
only
been
one
president
of
my
real
estate
group,
I
nominated
her
and
I
made
sure
she
was
the
president,
and
secondly,
heard
me
allude
to
this
earlier.
I
was
bullied
as
a
kid.
I
know
how
that
impacted
me,
the
rest
of
my
life.
I
am
unalterably
opposed
to
any
child
being
sexually
molested.
I
am
unalterably
opposed
to
any
woman
being
raped.
It
takes
effectively
a
piece
of
their
life,
so
I
would
seek
to
put
all
of
those
offenders
in
jail
after
they
have
their
right
to
due
process.

Nra
I'm
saying
it's
good
to
be
a
good
company
actually
for
over
the
years,
but
lately
it's
been
taken
over
by
some
evil
people,
if
you
want
the
truth
and
they're
turning
around
and
they
want
on.
The
second
menu
include
everything.
In
this
side,
the
government
is
responsible
for
all
the
military
equipment.
That's
been
handing
out
to
gun
owners
and
everything
in
Austin.
We
need
to
change
things,
and
the
National
Rifle
Association
is
is
needs
to
get
rid
of
their
and
bad
people
and
make
us
safe
again.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Today,
America
is
not
the
beacon
of
freedom
that
we'd
like
it
to
be,
or
it
should
be.
The
future
looks
uncertain
for
jobs
and
the
economy
and
the
protection
of
our
air
and
water,
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
some
billionaires
are
making
more
billions,
but
most
important
is
the
debt,
the
debt,
piles
up,
daly
city,
county
state,
federal
debt
and
that's
going
to
catch
up
with
us
sooner
or
later
it
has
to
it's
happened
to
everybody
over
time.
The
history
says
that
if
you
owe
more
than
you
can
pay
you're
broke.
C
So
if
america
owes
20
trillion
dollars,
I
don't
know
where
they
get
the
money
and
who
they
over
to
some
say
it's
70
trillion
dollars.
How
are
they
going
to
pay?
We
can
begin
the
process
in
soda
with
the
Davis
money
plan
that
begins
to
bring
wealth
money
into
circulation,
to
begin
to
pay
out
the
debt.
Thank.
