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.

A federal judge sentenced Vance Boelter Thursday to two life sentences plus 40 years for the killings of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and the attacks on state Sen. John Hoffman, his wife, Yvette, and their daughter, Hope. Boelter pleaded guilty in June to the attacks a year earlier. John and Yvette Hoffman and the Hortmans' two children were among those who spoke before the sentence was handed down. Following the sentencing, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office said it will proceed with its prosecution of Boelter on state charges.The U.S. Forest Service says it will allow day-use permits to enter the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness at some entry points starting Monday.

Episode 4143 │ June 11, 2026 Mike Lindell: "God just shattered the Minnesota GOP's 30-year candidate machine." Now he's polling number one and the primary is wide open. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson sits down with Mike Lindell for a full update on the Minnesota governor's race — and what just happened at the Duluth state convention is unlike anything the state Republican Party has seen since 1994. Lindell opens by crediting God's timing and his own prayer discipline as the operating foundation beneath every strategic decision in the campaign, describing a deliberate choice to release the need for Trump's endorsement before the convention and trust the outcome to providence — a posture he says produced results no political consultant could have engineered. He then walks through the entire sequence: how the Minnesota GOP endorsement system has functioned as an establishment candidate selection machine for three decades, consistently producing nominees who then lose to Democrats; how he was barred from debates, denied the delegate list, and publicly flagged as a "qualified with reservations" candidate to taint his standing before the convention floor vote; how the voting machines used by delegates broke down for three hours at the critical moment — validating Lindell's core election integrity argument in real time and turning the arena floor into a visible demonstration of exactly what he has been warning about for years; how he redirected his delegates to Kendall Qualls to break Lisa Damuth's path to the endorsement; and how the party then allowed Damuth to ignore the endorsement outcome she had pledged to honor — inadvertently producing the most open Republican primary Minnesota has seen in a generation. With Damuth, Qualls, and Lindell all now on the primary ballot, Lindell argues the establishment vote splits and his base — spanning inner city Minneapolis to rural farmers to teachers — carries him through. He announces Phil Parrish as his lieutenant governor pick, describing the partnership as a direct answer to prayer, and outlines his first-day budget priorities including eliminating 400 NGOs, cutting Minnesota's highest-in-the-nation corporate tax rate, and ending welfare fraud running into the billions. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED How did Lindell's faith posture — specifically releasing the need for Trump's pre-convention endorsement — shape the outcome at Duluth in ways no political strategy could have produced? How has the Minnesota GOP endorsement system functioned as an establishment candidate pipeline since 1994 — and how did the Duluth convention break it? What happened when the delegate voting machines failed for three hours at the exact moment Lindell was poised to deny Damuth the endorsement? Why does Lindell believe a three-way primary split between Damuth, Qualls, and himself is the best possible outcome for his campaign? What are Lindell's day-one budget priorities as governor — and how does he plan to turn inner-city Minneapolis Democrats into Republican voters?

Broadcasting live from hole 15 at the Maple River Golf Course in Mapleton, North Dakota, host Scott dials in a unique, mobile "broadcast-beer cart" experience for the Red River Valley Fair Foundation's sold-out annual tournament. In a jam-packed episode that seamlessly shifts from local philanthropy to international dynamics, Scott sits down with two major candidates fighting for the future of Minnesota ahead of this weekend's critical Republican endorsing convention in Duluth: House Speaker Lisa Demuth and candidate Kendall Qualls. Both pull back the curtain on their blueprints to dismantle "Minneapolis-itis," establish law and order, and rescue the state's plummeting school systems. The episode takes an elite detour into global economics, featuring custom clips from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant's White House cabinet address, highlighting record-breaking tax season statistics, Main Street wage gains, and the launch of the highly anticipated "Trump Accounts." Plus, financial guru David Fisher from Landmark Gold sounds a historical alarm on global stagflation, China's push to lower the US dollar, and President Trump's looming mandate to execute the first audit of the physical gold holdings at Fort Knox since 1953. Finally, Red River Valley Fair CEO Cody Cashman and event director Aaron Fos check in to detail the inspiring Livestock Enrichment Program—which allows local city kids to house, raise, and sell animals at the fair for college savings—while previewing a massive 75-foot grandstand stage and a nightly patriotic drone show imported directly from Sydney, Australia.
