Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell is disputing last week's election results after House Speaker Lisa Demuth handily won the Republican primary. Lindell trailed Demuth by more than 45,000 votes, meaning there will not be a publicly funded recount. Lindell says he'll personally pay for one. The Secretary of State's office says that will cost more than $800,000, and Lindell has until Monday to make a formal request and provide the money or a surety bond.Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Klobuchar says she wants to break from the St. Paul status quo. Klobuchar has called for a full state government audit, a money-back guarantee if state permits come late, and bipartisan plans to reshape health care, housing and economic development. Gov. Tim Walz has publicly clashed with President Donald Trump, and Klobuchar says she would push back when Trump's actions hurt Minnesota. Lisa Demuth, who is running against Klobuchar, says the only way to change the status quo in St. Paul is to elect a Republican.The mayor of New Hope is calling on state lawmakers to reverse a 2024 law that stripped cities of the power to shut down group homes. Only the state has that authority now. The law came after New Hope tried to close group homes tied to Sekou Dukuly, the subject of an MPR News and APM Reports investigation. New Hope Mayor John Elder says the state does not have enough staff to adequately monitor group homes.Minnesota gas prices are currently higher than the national average, according to Triple-A. St. Thomas economics professor Tyler Schipper says the U.S. war against Iran has disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Schipper says Minnesota usually tends to be a little below the national average because the state gets more oil from Canada that is refined locally. He says he would not be surprised if Minnesota prices fall below the national average next week.
SONS of LIBERTY Radio with Bradlee Dean Part 1: Mike Lindell Joins Bradlee Dean Live Part 2: Anyone Seeing The Correlation? Media Wars, Minnesota Politics, and a Biblical Call to Confront the Nation's Crises Minnesota Gubernatorial Campaign and Media Disputes A major portion of the episode centers on an extended interview with Mike Lindell about his campaign for governor of Minnesota. The host says he invited Lindell back because he believes mainstream and local media outlets are misrepresenting the candidate. Lindell describes opposition from Republican establishment figures, discusses Lisa Demuth and Kendall Qualls, and says he believes he is leading in legitimate polling. He also criticizes the Star Tribune and argues that betting-market activity has been presented in ways that make Demuth look stronger than she is. The host repeatedly frames the interview as an opportunity for Lindell to answer accusations directly. Throughout the exchange, allegations and polling claims are presented as statements by Lindell and the host, not independently verified facts. Campaign Allegations, Pillows, Amnesty, and Residency Lindell addresses several controversies that he says have been used against his campaign. He explains that small pillows distributed at parades cost $4.90 each and says a campaign-law complaint misrepresented their value and potential consequences. He then rejects reports that he supports amnesty, saying a six-month proposal involved identifying and fingerprinting people already in Minnesota rather than granting legal status. Lindell also discusses his Minnesota residency, saying he moved his tax status, obtained a Minnesota license, and registered to vote in 2025. He accuses the Star Tribune and party officials of raising doubts about his eligibility despite documentation he says proves residency. The host responds by asking whether Lindell has considered legal action for defamation or malicious conduct. Trump Endorsement and Governing Priorities The interview also covers Donald Trump's endorsement, which Lindell says has no strings attached and has substantially helped his campaign. Lindell describes a long personal relationship with Trump and says they exchange perspectives rather than operating through a one-way chain of command. He argues that direct access to the president and other governors would benefit Minnesota if he wins office. Asked about data centers and surveillance cameras, he says he is currently opposed but would remain open to contrary evidence and would communicate transparently with the public. He also criticizes wind projects and raises environmental concerns. On alleged fraud involving Minnesota officials, Lindell says he intends to pursue investigations and accountability if elected. Biblical Worldview, Constitutional Government, and Public Action Across both portions of the program, the host connects American government to a Christian biblical worldview and repeatedly argues that the Constitution, founding principles, and Scripture function as an instruction manual for lawful government. The episode includes historical quotations attributed to figures such as Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Franklin, and Harry S. Truman. The host says citizens and churches have departed from those principles and repeatedly urges listeners to act rather than merely complain. Promotional segments reinforce the program's ministry identity, church services, events, fundraising, and related media outlets. The host also discusses censorship and claims that certain prominent conservative or media personalities function as controlled opposition. These religious, constitutional, and political interpretations are presented as the host's views. Abortion, Immigration, Islam, and the Host's Claimed Correlation The later portion of the episode develops the host's claimed connection between abortion, immigration, and national judgment. He describes abortion as murder, cites biblical passages, condemns political officials who support abortion rights, and argues that citizens who tolerate those policies share responsibility. He then links that theme to immigration and Islam, portraying Muslim immigration as an organized threat to American law and sovereignty. Embedded clips are used to illustrate statements about Sharia law, political organizing, Muslim Brotherhood strategy, schools, and elected officials. The host makes sweeping and hostile claims about Muslims and also uses derogatory language toward LGBTQ people while framing his statements as biblical and constitutional warnings. The transcript preserves those statements as the speaker's claims without treating them as established fact. Censorship Claims, Embedded Clips, and Unresolved Transcript Damage The host repeatedly says his speech is being censored or throttled while other high-profile personalities receive preferential treatment. He discusses Dennis Prager, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, Russell Brand, Elon Musk, and others, making a variety of allegations about their conduct or influence. The program also plays multiple prerecorded clips, including a Seattle interview concerning alleged fraud, clips of Muslim speakers, a narrator discussing the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, and later political/news footage concerning Michigan and New York. Several of these clips contain numerical, historical, criminal, or organizational claims that the episode does not independently substantiate. Near the end, the automated transcript breaks down badly, including long nonsensical repetitions, after which some readable content resumes. Those corrupted passages and uncertain names are explicitly flagged in the corrected transcript rather than reconstructed from guesswork.
Democrat Amy Klobuchar and Republican Lisa Demuth will compete to be Minnesota's next governor. Either would make history as the state's first woman leader. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan won a decisive victory in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate. Flanagan defeated U.S. Rep. Angie Craig. The margin of victory was much wider than many expected in a race where Flanagan was vastly outspent.At her victory party at First Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, Flanagan turned her gaze toward her November opponent, former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya, who won the Republican nomination. Minnesota hasn't elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 2002.

The incident management team that is overseeing firefighting operations says in a statement that “a medical emergency occurred” at about 10:40 a.m. Tuesday “involving an individual assigned to the incident.”Klobuchar is DFL nominee for governor, Demuth wins GOP race over two rivalsFlanagan wins DFL duel in Senate race, Tafoya claims GOP nod for open seatCrew member battling to contain northern Minnesota wildfires dies
