[applause] so this is not a campaign about me, it's about all of you and all the people we are about to meet across the country that are looking for someone to get excited about and energize us and bring hope and love and joy and energy. i've had so much fun, i don't know what to do with myself. i don't have a prepared speech on a teleprompter. i answer questions. i like the press, believe or not. i do debates, town halls, i walked through the snow and meet all of you. it's amazing what can happen in 10 weeks. i did a little interview on cnn this morning. they said what did you think about your 7% pull in new hampshire? i said i don't think that's quite right. we adjusted three times better than that. so if we can go from 7% to 21% in nine hours, imagine what we can do in this country. i did this because we need to beat donald trump. i did this because of something much more important. i've been listening and hearing some

he does not have the support you are posturing he might have been minnesota. presidency qualifications based on what he has done and i think president biden has done a phenomenal job with the pandemic and an economy that was already faltering and the other problems that came into his lap and i think he has more energy than trump [inaudible] >> in case it, ron desantis dropped his bid for the president and put a statement out. >> greetings from florida. joining the navy and serving in iraq and representing people in u.s. congress and now serving as governor of florida and it reminds mewhy i decided to run for president, to fight for those who are forgotten in the country. this is america's timeor choosing. we can choose to allow a border invasion or we can stop it. it to reckless borrowing and spending or losing -- or lower inflation. symptoms of the underlying struggle to ensure that constitutional government can endure and western civilization can survive and we launched this campaign to bring accountability to government, regain the sovereignty at the border

but we in minnesota have a very low tolerance for crime.e coming down, it's getting much safer. we want it to get to as low as it can possibly get. the irony of this is we see it time and time again. adding immigration to this. that is an issue that needs to be addressed. the issue here is that republicans will do nothing to fix. that we have house republicans, we had a proposal from the president, they won't fix it. so here in minnesota, i put a 300 million dollar proposal of fungible dollars for public safety in our budget, and we see republicans vote against that. so it is the idea. i don't think that they really want to fix it, i think we do something about crime, it moves on to something else. and this homelessness issue is a big deal. we put over a billion dollars in the state to about 20, 6:27 billion dollar budget. this has to be addressed, more for affordability. and the interesting thing, both crime and homelessness, joe, it hits a rural area just as hard. and in many cases it is even more difficult of a challenge because you do n

david: so you rose up in minnesota. why did you go back to alabama, which had racial issues? dr.kers: uab is a unique place. it is an oasis of academic excellence, it has broad diversity. it is the most advanced carnegie tier one research university in the country. it has done more transplant in african-americans than any hospital in the world. so i felt a compelling opportunity to drive the mission of that institution, in spite of the landscape, socially and politically, that i thought it could have a significant impact on that part of the world. david: how long did you run uab? dr. vickers: i was there for nine and a half years, almost 10 years. david: so when memorial sloan-kettering approached you, to say, i am a great surgeon, i have got what i want right here, this is my native state, i don't want to leave? were you intrigued? dr. vickers: it was more of the former, like you said, i have a good place, i have a good job, i have built a level of trust in the community, i have a compelling mission and i think i need to really think very hard about leaving it. and i would say t

my parents are from minnesota. i have seen him five times and there is something really refreshing and honest about him. iike, he has across the aisle, that is really important to me. he has a hopeful vision and i think he has stepped up to the plate. when he tells stories about how he called all these different people, i have had a chance to thank him today. >> katherine johnson, thank you for stopping by. nice to see yougain. she referenced her friend hannah, a-year-old we interviewed at the last nikki haley rally. >> it will be a privilege to be friends with her family for a long time. >> come on over. what is your name? >> jesse. >> is this the first time you have been to a political rally? what did you think? >> it was cool. >> why? >> i don't fun. i brought my dad. >> what is your name? >> how do you identify politically? >> lifelong republican. ikki haley rally and i think i am a late comer in the last couple of months, he her speech and hearing her talk a couple of times and aligned with my valleys and -- v

my team, sadly, the minnesota vikings, as you know, will not be there.know my love runs deep for the land of 10,000 lakes. and i certainly bleed purple for the vikings. this was not the second season that head coach kevin o'connell envisioned for his team after leading them to a division title last year. they fell short of the playoffs, losing their last four games of the season. but this year had plenty of highs for the purple and gold, including a heartwarming story when they traded for quarterback josh dobbs. just days into being a viking, dobbs was forced into emergency action because of quarterback injuries. he led them to a comeback victory and then another win. >> let's make sure we let him hear it. all right? >> yeah! >> helping dobbs through that chaos, a former nfl quarterback turned vikings head coach kevin o'connell himself. >> i felt it was the right moment to walk over and just let him know, no matter what happens these next 2 1/2 hours, i'm going to be with you every step of the way. >> and he was. we go to the north star state. >> our pat
