A LOT OF EXCITEMENT. THANKS SO MUCH, SCOTT. WELL, FORMER VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ MET WITH IOWANS IN DES MOINES TODAY. IT’S HIS FIRST STOP ON HIS NEW TOWN HALL TOUR. WALZ SAYS HE’S TRAVELING TO RED STATES, WHERE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE NOT HELD PUBLIC TOWN HALLS. AND HE SAT DOWN WITH ����vlog CHIEF POLITICAL REPORTER AMANDA RUCKER THIS AFTERNOON. IT’S A ONE ON ONE INTERVIEW YOU WILL ONLY SEE ON ����vlog. STACY AND LAURA WALZ SAYS THAT HE’S HERE TO, QUOTE, LEND A MEGAPHONE TO THE PEOPLE. IOWA’S THIRD DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN ZACH NUNN WALZ SAYS NUNN HASN’T HELD A PUBLIC TOWN HALL, AND SO HE’S HOLDING ONE INSTEAD. I ASKED GOVERNOR WALZ WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER TO IOWANS. WHY? YOU YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER THE PEOPLE OF IOWA’S THIRD DISTRICT? I HAVE THAT MEGAPHONE LOOK AT BEING THE, YOU KNOW, THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE I HAVE THAT THE PRESS WILL COVER SOME OF THAT. AND I ALSO HAVE IT AS BEING A MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND BEING A GOVERNOR, A SITTING GOVERNOR IN THIS TIME AND WATCHING THE DESTRUCTION THAT’S BEING WROUGHT. AND I’M HEARING IT FROM MY CONSTITUENTS AND CONSTITUENTS THAT MAYBE DIDN’T VOTE FOR ME, ARE SAYING I DIDN’T EXPECT THEM TO FIRE VETERANS THAT WERE WORKING AT THE VETERANS HOME. I DIDN’T EXPECT THEM TO FIRE FOLKS, SCIENTISTS WHO ARE WORKING ON H5N1, BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT. AND I THINK FOR ME IS BRINGING THEM A PLATFORM. THIS ISN’T ABOUT ME. I DON’T OBVIOUSLY, IF I HAD ALL THE ANSWERS, WE WOULD HAVE WON AND WE DIDN’T. BUT THE PUBLIC’S OUT HERE AND THERE IS A RESPONSIBILITY TO HEAR THEM. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN PEOPLE COME TO IOWA, THEY COME WITH SOME NATIONAL ASPIRATIONS. DO YOU HAVE ANY INTENTION OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT? NO. AND MY MY PURPOSE OF BEING HERE IS I DO HAVE THAT PLATFORM, QUITE HONESTLY. I’M COMING HERE. I WISH IOWA STILL WAS A CAUCUS STATE. JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE OUR NEIGHBORS. AND IT BROUGHT A LOT OF EXCITEMENT. BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER TO ME. WHAT MATTERS IS I KNOW THERE’S FOLKS DOWN HERE IN THE DISTRICT THAT CARE. I THINK THERE’S A LOT OF COMMONALITY. IN A STATEMENT TO ����vlog, REPRESENTATIVE ZACH NUNN SAID THAT HE’S HELD HUNDREDS OF LISTENING SESSIONS ACROSS ALL 21 COUNTIES IN IOWA’S THIRD DISTRICT, WRITING, QUOTE, IOWANS VOTED FOR CHANGE IN NOVEMBER, AND I’M DELIVERING SECURING THE BORDER, UNLEASHING U.S. ENERGY, AND CUTTING TAXES FOR WORKING AMERICANS WHILE OUT OF STATE, DEMOCRATS HOLD FUNDRAISERS DISGUISED AS FORUMS, WE’RE FOCUSED ON REAL RESULTS. WE ASKED NUNN’S OFFICE WHEN AND WHERE THE MOS
