Chapter 1: How are Democrats challenging the Trump agenda in Republican areas?
Right now, it's the time to fight for the people. You're either on the side of the people or you're on the side of the oligarchs. I like to see Democrats who are fighting. Let me show you what Governor Walz did in Des Moines, Iowa. He spoke to the people there in a reddish area and he said, let me explain to you why the Trump regime is going after public education. Play this clip.
And again, I got to be honest with you. They hate public education. I think they hate it for the reason we all know in here. It's easier to run an authoritarian government if you don't have a population that knows. So again, obviously I don't have all the answers, but I think it's appealing to people's sense of decency. I should be careful about that.
I thought a message that we should value all people and we should have an immigration policy that adheres to the law but adheres to humanity. And they talked about eating dogs and cats and they won. And so I myself am soul searching when I hear this, how in God's name of all the money that's being spent and all the tax cuts they're giving, we can't fund
Those interventions that we know make a difference in millions of children's lives, I can't believe America wouldn't go for that.
Couldn't agree more with him. Then in this public town hall event that he was holding, he asked the crowd, what do you want to see Democrats doing? Not surprisingly, it's fight. It's fight back. And not just what you want to see Democrats doing. As human beings, we need to fight this regime right now. Here, play this clip.
Viral videos that show Democrats fighting back.
Next up, Governor Walz talks about what you see on Fox News over and over again.
Play this clip. Look, I got asked that question. I got asked the question, who's in charge? Who's the leader of the Democratic Party, Governor? And I said, the people are. And for three days on Fox News, they're like making fun, you know, the bungholes that are in the morning, like talking, oh, Walls doesn't even know who the leader of the party is. Well, you know why? They sure know where it is.
They know who their leader is because Chaplin from butt kissing one person. So demand it. There's... There is not going to be a charismatic leader ride in and do this. It is going to be people coming out on a beautiful Friday afternoon, demanding change and holding people accountable. Governor Walz, again, let's play it.

Chapter 2: Why does Governor Walz believe Republicans oppose public education?
I want to ask about how we're going to do that. Will you agree this morning, since you want to cherish Medicaid, to oppose any cuts to the Medicaid program? And I want a yes or no because we all agree that we need to do more to fight fraud and such matters. But what I want to know, yes or no, is since you cherish Medicaid, will you agree to oppose cuts in the Medicaid program?
I cherish Medicaid and I've worked within the Medicaid environment quite extensively as I highlighted practicing at Columbia University.
That's not the question, doctor. The question is, will you oppose cuts to this program you say you cherish? Time's short.
I want to make sure that patients today and in the future have resources to protect them if they get ill. The way you protect Medicaid is by making sure that it's viable at every level, which includes having enough practitioners to afford the services, paying them enough to do what you request of them, and making sure that patients are able to actually use Medicaid.
Let the record show that I asked a witness who said he cherishes this program, will you agree to oppose cuts? And he would not answer a yes or no question.
So you may know this about me, but I'm a new father and with everything that's going on in the world, if I wasn't already in protect my family mode, I'm particularly so with all the uncertainty taking place right now. So look, I'm focused on life insurance. So I don't just protect my family now, but I protect them in the future. And so
