let's talk minnesota for a minute. campaign won minnesota in 2020, let's be clear on that, but it was fairly narrow and the trump campaign made a real push there. there's some similar demographics to the states like michigan and wisconsin where trump and biden run neck and neck. even though minnesota has been going blue now for many cycles, it stands to reason the trump campaign will at least make a play. but behind the scenes do they really think minnesota's in play? and do the biden campaign, do they worry it could be? >> certainly. well, what we're seeing right now is that this is the first time that former president donald trump is headed to minnesota, and what's really notable about this is that minnesota is not necessarily one of those key battleground states that we think of that will determine the outcome of the general election, but what i scooped for bloomberg news earlier this month is that trump's top advisers believe he has the ability to flip blue states like minnesota and virginia. they said this at a re

minnesota. they refer to the northern part of the state as the dead zone because wolves have largely wiped out all other wildlife. the deer, must contracts -- must contracts, peeves, etc. -- beavers. the record of success demonstrates the species manage s-more effective when carried out by state and local agencies. it is state management agencies not the federal government that recovered and delisted the gray wolf in 2020. only to have radical environmental activists sue to keep them listed. for years populations throughout the west have been well above the recovery thresholds prescribed in the act. yet officials in the department of the interior being beholden to radical environmental n.g.o.'s continually shift the recovery goal post to keep species like the gray wolf and greater yellow stone ecosystem grizzly bear enlisted as endangered, preserving their budget and control over western lands. instead of wasting taxpayer dollars on a recover species, the fish and wildlife service should focus i

and then what makes this project a little bit more unique is the minnesota grove, the minnesota grove you can see as a representative example and i'll have a couple more photos, this is the street intersection, the photos are looking eastward. this is basically a community lead garden insleighsing --installation, the community seeing what was just debris and dirt piled up on the road they decide today make it into a garden, something unique and special. the original grove extends from 24th street to about two-thirds of the way towards 25th street. in this project, i don't have construction, we phased that it was going to be the tail end where we're going to do a lot of infrastructure improvement. as part of this, we also worked with mta. one of the problem with the minnesota grove, it's a little overgrown, there is a retaining wall behind all of these plants. unfortunately, this retaining wall gets hit by cars and things and things like that so part of the project is constructional improvements so there is no failure. we also worked with mta, you can see that there is no parking and i

can he take minnesota?border, is the sleeper issue also just this two-tiered justice system which he is sort of the embodiment of that a lot of conservatives feel like it's just not pair whether it's donald trump, the way donald trump's treated versus the biden family who's so corrupt or even what we were just talking about, this football player as the nfl write a statement against him versus all the guys who are beating up their girlfriends and getting in drunk driving accidents, etc. there just seems to be two different standards for americans in our country. >> yeah, rachel, i -- you referenced conservatives. i would argue that all reasonable americans, nonpartisan americans see this for what it is. this is why the persecution of donald trump has literally raised him higher in the polls. the more they do it, they've overreached, people understand that these are sham trials. they're keeping him many trial for five weeks with a judge that doesn't seem to -- well, i practiced law for years, rachel, and i do

its staying in minnesota.here's no ground game here. there's nothing we take this very seriously. we know this election will be closed and we're doing the work. i think it doesn't matter. i've said all along, we need to beat this guy at the ballot box. we need to return our democracy to a sense of normalcy. we're things matter, rule of law matters. so i have to tell you, i'm john, i'm not watching that thing that closely. i think it's stunning to me that that we're even in this point. but i think we need to keep our eye on the ball. we need to stay in our lane and we need to prepare to win in november can i ask you about a question about a report in the new york times overnight that we all woke up to the new york times, posted photographs of a flag flying upside down at the home of supreme court justice samuel alito. >> this was just days after the riots on january 6, or some people call the insurrection just days before the inauguration of president biden and a lot of people's see the upside-down flag as a sy

as you noted, joe biden won by about seven points in minnesota.hen you talk to minnesota democrat, they feel very confident in their ground game there. they have a pretty strong party organization with what's known as the democratic farm labor party there. and so they feel like they're in good position, but they are not taking it for granted. governor tim walz of minnesota and senator tina smith are doing some counter programming against trump on behalf of the biden campaign today. look, if trump wins minnesota, it's a good indication of a rout on election night. >> more trump groupies have been showing up here in new york for the trial, including just yesterday nearly a dozen republican members of the house. so many that they actually risked control of the house floor and jeopardized some votes because of their absence. what do you make of it, business on the hill seemingly taking a backseat over this trial? >> not just the votes on the floor, but there was a committee hearing yesterday, the house oversight committee was supposed to meet at 11:00
