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.

Host Scott Hennen kicks off a high-stakes Friday edition of What's On Your Mind with a deep dive into international intrigue, tech giants, and local politics. We begin with a harrowing perspective from Kawar Faroq, a leader in the local Kurdish community, who pulls back the curtain on the brutal reality of life in Iran and why 18 million Kurds are the primary targets of the regime's incarceration and violence. The conversation then takes a sharp turn into "The Great Digital De-platforming" as Mike Lindell joins the show with a breaking update: Apple has reportedly locked him out of his iCloud, potentially erasing 13 years of business and personal data. We also talk with Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls about his "Contract with Minnesota" and why he believes a political outsider is the only way to save the state from "the wilderness." Finally, the show wraps with breaking news regarding a large police presence and lockdowns at Fargo North High School and Washington Elementary.

Local party conventions around Minnesota are shaping top political races. Delegates are being selected for the state endorsing conventions at the end of May. So candidates are making the rounds — especially for Minnesota's open U.S. Senate seat and an open governor's race. Democrats will be trying to hang onto the seats, while Republicans will be trying to break a statewide election dry spell. The GOP has a very competitive race for the governor spot on the ballot. House Speaker Lisa Demuth and businessman Kendall Qualls are part of a top tier of hopefuls. But MyPillow founder Mike Lindell contends he is too. MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst talks with Lindell about his governor campaign. Also, the Senate made a significant rule change this week that could make public service more attractive to candidates with young families. We'll hear from the lawmakers who pushed for change in the Senate. Plus, a recap from this week at the Capitol as the Legislature adjourns for a week-long recess. Guests: Mike Lindell is the founder of MyPillow and a Republican candidate running for Minnesota governor.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It's election season again. As we came through the caucuses, it began to show us who the serious contenders are. Lisa Demuth, Kendall Qualls, and Mike Lindell rose to the top for the Republican candidates for governor. One of the three comes out of political circles, while the other two (Qualls and Lindell) are outsiders. Meanwhile on the Democrat side, Amy Klobuchar was beat by "uncertain". On the Senate side, Michelle Tafoya seems to be the one to beat as she has the name recognition and the ability to get national attention and money. Angie Craig and Peggy Flannagan in a heated battle for the Dems, but both are pretty weak candidates. Despite all of the craziness in Minnesota, our President has been on a roll, giving a masterclass in how to take down a looming showdown between fascist powers in the west and communist powers in the east and reframing the entire plans to carve up the globe between them. As President Trump has implemented tariffs upon nations to get better deals, we have seen billions of dollars come in and businesses return to the United States. He went to the World Economic Forum and told them exactly how things were going to be: no more cafe standards, no more EV mandates... and Greenland. Greenland is mineral-rich and pivotal in the defense of North America. The president has been out front in his desire for it and walks away from the WEF with a deal to get what he really wanted the whole time. His "Donroe Doctrine" is reordering the western hemisphere, as China has been kicked out of Panama, Maduro (who was posing as the leader of Venezuela after losing the election) has been arrested in an amazing military action, and Cuba is on the brink of collapse. We are watching the reordering of the world powers right before our eyes. What was looking like the susnset of the American experiment, is now looking like it will be a major world power going into the next phase of human history. Let's hope that for the first time ever, a nation in decline can turn it around and be better than it was before.

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes back her friend, Kendall Qualls, a business entrepreneur, Army veteran, and candidate for governor of Minnesota. This episode is a clarion call for civil discourse around education, governance, and community values. Kendall's vision for Minnesota is one of revitalization, seeking to address the economic challenges that have driven significant outmigration and resident dissatisfaction, and emphasizing the need for accountability and strong leadership in the statehouse.Jennifer and Kendall explore the fallout from the recent $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota and how it reflects broader governance issues in blue states. The conversation pivots to examine the implications of such scandals in Massachusetts, highlighting alarming population decline driven by those same policies. They dissect the perils of unchecked spending on illegal immigration and its impact on local communities, underscoring the need for responsible fiscal management that serves the citizens. They explore the explosive social movements in Minnesota, questioning the motives behind activist-driven narratives and the implications of such activism on public safety and community relations. This episode offers a crucial perspective on the challenges posed by ideological extremism in the political landscape, particularly regarding education, societal values, and the harrowing racial division. “We’re not hyphenated Americans, so it’s time to stop acting like it.” ~Kendall Qualls Today on Political Contessa: The consequences of economic policies in blue states directly affect local families, leading to significant outmigration to states with more favorable economic conditions. The recent fraud scandals in Minnesota reveal systemic governance failures with no accountability from state leadership. Activist-driven narratives, especially regarding immigration and public safety, can obscure critical issues affecting citizen welfare. Disrupting educational practices and ideologies is essential to cultivating future generations capable of engaging meaningfully with history. Racial and social tensions have been exacerbated by political narratives, especially following significant national events over the past several years. There’s a pressing need for candidates like Kendall Qualls to infuse fresh perspectives and drive meaningful changes in traditionally blue states like Minnesota. A call for fiscal responsibility and a reassessment of welfare policies aimed at illegal immigrants is crucial to address rising costs for local residents. Understanding historical context and the identities of our founding figures remains vital for fostering national pride and unity.
