| 0:00.0 | Today, I am joined by a Democratic congressman who fights, who gets up in fights every single day. |
| 0:10.0 | And of course, I'm talking about progressive caucus chair representative Greg Kassar. |
| 0:15.0 | We have ICE agents murdering protesters in Minneapolis. |
| 0:20.0 | Obviously, Minneapolis doesn't even really have an immigration problem. |
