A blown server didn’t stop this conversation, and neither will cynicism. We bring back Chris Stewart, former MPD officer and SWAT team member, founder of Heroes Health and Heroes, and now a declared candidate for the Minnesota House in District 54B. What follows is an unfiltered plan to restore trust, safety, and fiscal sanity across Minnesota—rooted in front-line experience rather than talking points.
We start with the nonprofit work: peer-to-peer outdoor programs that help first responders process trauma and prevent suicide. That service mindset shapes how Chris talks about policymaking. He lays out why he’s running: to bring clear standards to use-of-force debates, to push for real oversight on fraud and spending, and to rebuild the conditions that make downtowns livable and businesses confident again. Crime, taxes, and trust are tied together, he argues; when accountability collapses, costs rise and families pay twice.
Chris doesn’t shy away from hard lines. He explains how force should be judged by what a reasonable officer would do in the moment, not by political pressure. He calls for tighter welfare and EBT guardrails that protect the vulnerable while cutting exploitation. He favors merit in safety‑critical roles so the most qualified people serve where stakes are highest. And he makes a case for practical bridge‑building: talk to everyone, share experience and data, persuade without demeaning, and let voters decide with clear information.
Along the way we hear about his blindness and how it sharpened his focus on competence over appearances. The message is consistent: dignity for people, demands on systems, and a government that remembers who it serves. If you want a grounded take on Minnesota’s challenges—and a concrete blueprint to tackle crime, costs, and credibility—this conversation delivers.
If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find it. And if you’re in Minnesota, get involved, show up, and make your vote count.

SPEAKER_01 (02:23):
Chris Stewart.
Sorry about the last time,Chris.
The had the again, the serverhad the failure and the power
supply.
I did not save the last episode,so I'm hoping we can give this a
a part two.
Are you with me?
SPEAKER_03 (02:37):
Let's do it.
SPEAKER_01 (02:38):
Okay.
I can't believe that, dude.
Again, things in the bunker mustbe getting pretty old when I got
post-war equipment, right?
SPEAKER_03 (02:46):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (02:48):
Alright, super duper.
So let's do this.
We talked last time about a lotof things, and I'll tell you
what, it was hard to get my headaround it.
Had the had the system notfailed, I'd have had this
already up and posted.
But let's start out with youwere on the show before.
And you were you were running anNPO for a nonprofit.
(03:09):
From what the last show said,was you your nonprofit is is a
thing still, or is it not?
Yes, it is.
Okay, and enlighten us againwhat that was.
SPEAKER_03 (03:20):
So I run a nonprofit called Heroes Health and Heroes.
We are a Flybull 1C3 nonprofithere in Minnesota, and we'll be
expanding to neighboring stateshere this upcoming summer,
actually.
But uh we're a peer-to-peersupport group for both active
and retired first responders.
And what we do is we put ongroup outdoor activities for our
(03:42):
first responders to engage in atno cost for themselves.
And it's all about gettingindividuals who have experienced
a lot of the same and similartraumas throughout their
careers, getting them togetherand helping them cope with the
traumas and stresses of theirprofession.
And uh, you know, all in anattempt to help prevent first
responder suicides.
(04:02):
Awesome.
SPEAKER_01 (04:04):
And and I I think that we talked about it last
time.
You also said that you had awhat was it?
You were working with the MagnusVeterans Group, right?
Veterans Association?
SPEAKER_03 (04:16):
Uh we we have we've uh been in contact with them uh
and have uh partnered up withthem in the past when uh insofar
as marketing events, yes.
SPEAKER_01 (04:28):
Oh, awesome.
Sean's a pretty good egg.
He's a good friend of mine, andI've been talking to him for
years.
And uh you you know, you guysgot a heck of a job in front of
you.
Uh that's just that's a lot ofwork, and hats off to both of
you.
So let's start out with what yougot going now.
Tell me what's going on in theworld.
SPEAKER_03 (04:44):
Yeah, you know, so uh apparently I didn't have
enough on my plate.
So uh with everything that'shappened the last couple years,
uh, as far as politics isconcerned, um that my
interaction with legislatorswhile running my nonprofit, um,
I I was just sick of uh the thecourse that this state in
(05:08):
particular is heading and thedishonesty of politicians on
both sides of the aisle.
So after careful thought andprayer, uh I decided to announce
that I am running for theMinnesota House of
Representatives, representingDistrict 54B, which includes the
(05:30):
Power Lake area.
Uh it this year it's gonna beit's for 2026, so it's an open
seat.
Uh Representative Bakeberg, whocurrently holds this position,
is gonna be stepping up andrunning for the open and
Minnesota Senate seat.
SPEAKER_01 (05:47):
Well, that's a handful, huh?
SPEAKER_03 (05:49):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (05:52):
Are you ready for this?
SPEAKER_03 (05:54):
I am, yes.
I um I'm excited.
I'm extremely motivated.
Um and with my life experienceworking as a cop for Minneapolis
for roughly 15 years, uh workingin the most my most of my career
(06:16):
in the underserved area of NorthMinneapolis, and all the
split-second decisions that Iwas required to make on a daily
basis, the interactions thatI've had with people throughout
my career, being able to talk toindividuals, be able to uh
(06:38):
convince them to do things thatthey may not want to do, um,
especially in hostile situationswhere criminals don't always
want to listen to the police.
And just being able to navigatethose waters, uh, along with my
experience running a nonprofitand having a fair amount of
(07:01):
interaction on the legislativeside of things, fighting for
legislation, fighting againstother legislation, um, I think
has given me the experience tomove forward with this next
venture and to do it to do itwell.
Um, I don't need this job.
(07:22):
I want it.
Um I I want to continue to helppeople.
I I've been a public serviceservant my entire life with
Minneapolis Police and nowrunning my nonprofit.
And and I'm here to serve thepeople.
I'm not here to put myself-interest first.
Um I'm not here to put um, youknow, this this isn't this isn't
(07:43):
going to be a career for me.
I'm not a career politician, I'mnot a politician.
I'm a I'm a husband, I'm afather, um, and I'm somebody
that cares deeply for for thestate and for this country.
And I'm going to go in there andand fight for what I believe is
right and to make a difference.
SPEAKER_01 (08:02):
Well, that's a lot of fight.
Good for you, good for joiningthe trink the team.
But there's still a lot ofpeople that want to fight the
fight.
What if what if they're on theother side who want to fight the
fight?
Who you know, how do you how dowe want to believe you?
And and tell me what's differentabout you.
SPEAKER_03 (08:20):
What's what's different about me is that I've
been in these tough situations,uh, especially with Minneapolis,
and I I've stood up against umthese so-called leaders when
they're wrong, and I I I have noproblem doing it.
I actually enjoy it.
Um I've never I've never been ayes man.
(08:43):
I will never be a yes man.
Um I I have very strongprinciples that I try to lead my
life with, and I'm a fighter.
Um, I'm gonna do what, again, Ibelieve is right.
I've done it my entire career,and I'm going to go out there
(09:04):
and fight.
And as soon as I'm not effectiveanymore, um I'll no no longer uh
do what I'm doing.
Um, but as long as I'meffective, uh whether it's uh
running a nonprofit or or nowseeking this uh this house seat,
uh I I'm gonna do it.
SPEAKER_01 (09:22):
Now when you get in the house, there are gonna be uh
SFs and HFs coming through,Senate floor, house floor for
you new listeners.
Let's say uh a bill comes acrossyour desk.
Let's say you get in andeverything's all honky dory.
Now, I'm gonna play a littledevil advocate here, so don't
don't don't beat me up too bad.
There's gonna be a use of forcepolicy.
(09:45):
We all know what's going on inthe news currently.
We this we this we've been downabout a week with my server
offline.
But the use of force policy isgonna say, did Derek Chauvin
have such a big hit on this?
Was he obviously uh again withyour police history?
Was he overuse of force?
Was he under use of force?
We're gonna put a policy inhouse floor that we can't use of
(10:08):
force, we're gonna you know youknow you've all heard all the
stories.
Now, how would you how would youapproach that with an objective
view saying, okay, yeah, didDerek get carried away?
Did he not?
And I don't know if you'veserved with Derek or not.
So this might be like a toughquestion.
SPEAKER_03 (10:24):
Yeah, so so if you're talking in particular
about the use of force that uhDerek Chauvin used, I I never
worked with him, I knew who hewas, uh, so there's that there's
not that connection between thetwo of us.
Um I don't think the force thathe used was inappropriate, uh or
ex uh I guess I should sayexcessive.
(10:46):
Um kneeling on what I believewas was his shoulder blades, not
his neck, um, is appropriate useof force in most circumstances.
Being on his neck for nineminutes, however long it was,
may not have been the mostappropriate thing, but it wasn't
(11:07):
excessive force, and it was notwhat contributed to the death of
uh Mr.
SPEAKER_01 (11:14):
Floyd.
Mr.
Floyd.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (11:16):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (11:16):
But Ariando says, and he came out publicly to say,
like, this is a uh excessive useof force, and we're gonna we're
gonna hang this guy.
Now, would you go against youryour your boss, your chief, the
to to be right and still bewrong?
SPEAKER_03 (11:31):
Absolutely.
Uh Chief Arendano is is wrong100%.
Um he he is a very niceindividual, um, or he used to
be, um, but he was a horriblepolice chief.
He was a horrible cop.
Um, he had his guns stolen fromhim at least twice throughout
(11:52):
his career by suspects.
Um, so you know, when when itcomes to uh police uh Chief
Aaron Dondo and his skill ofappropriate force and what was
or or wasn't excessive, uh, Idon't think is a good benchmark.
You have to look at what anormal cop would have done given
(12:15):
those exact same circumstances,and that's how excessive force
use of forces is uh is lookedthrough.
Um and again, I I I don't thinkit was excessive.
I think it m was probablyinappropriate for how long he
stood uh kneeled on um Mr.
Floyd's back.
Um, but again, uh wasn't acriminal issue, should have
(12:39):
never been a criminal issuebecause again, Floyd died from
the amount of fentanyl in hissystem.
SPEAKER_01 (12:45):
Right.
Well, that see all this isstarting to come out.
And we we both have a person whoknows a person who has been with
that guy, uh, rode with him andthen probably to'd him.
This is not about a question ofwhether or not it was it was
right or wrong.
This is a question of whetheryou, if if you hold a position
of power or oversight, wouldsay, no, Mr.
(13:07):
Arendundo, we're not doing this.
This is not gonna be aconversation.
And no, I will therefore notsupport this bill to excessive
force this.
That's my question.
SPEAKER_03 (13:18):
Yeah, absolutely.
Um, I again I did it when I wasa cop.
I'll I'll do it here.
Um, I've got no problem uhstanding up for what I believe
is right.
Um, and I am not somebody that'sgonna be paid for by special or
uh lobbyist organizations.
Uh I'm going to go out there andrepresent the people.
(13:41):
I'm not here to representlobbyist organizations or
special interests.
And to be honest, uh I don'tcare who these individuals are.
Wrong is wrong, right is right.
And regardless of what side ofthe alley you're on or what
position you hold, um you shouldbe held to the same standard as
everybody else.
SPEAKER_01 (14:03):
People think that because you're in a district,
54B, was it?
Yes.
That this doesn't affect them.
I I happen to think thedifference.
How would you think that thiswould affect these people in
your area because of we paystate taxes, we pay federal
taxes, we're we pay for thatmillion dollar gold gasket that
uh Minneapolis put for JacobFry's crying on.
(14:26):
What do you think there?
SPEAKER_03 (14:30):
Yeah, I mean it it it it affects you.
Um and I would say it has adirect effect on everybody.
Um, because not only does it youknow it it correlate with with
taxes and the rise of taxes, um,but also it a lot of people are
associated with downtownMinneapolis, whether it's
(14:52):
personal, whether it'sbusiness-wise, um and going down
there and being a victim of acrime, uh, whether it's you
yourself or or somebody that youknow, a family member or friend,
um, this affects everybody.
That the downfall of Minneapolishas affected everybody in one
(15:13):
way or another, whether theywant to admit it or not.
And it may not be that directcorrelation, but you know, it it
has.
Um, it has it has changed thisentire state, uh, whether it's
exact you know, directly whathappened with Minneapolis with
the riots and with theessentially the city being burnt
down, um, to the disrespecttowards law enforcement and the
(15:39):
lack of the lack of uh trust uhwithin within law enforcement,
but also within um the respectto individuals in authority
positions whatsoever, whetherit's teachers, whether it's
parents, whether it's it's lawenforcement, this state has
turned into uh into a zoo.
(16:03):
It's it's prime time forcriminals and prime example.
Minnesotans are the highest orMinnesotans are the biggest
contributor to Al-Shabaab, aterrorist organization holding
small.
Yeah.
It is absolutely insane.
Um that the the criminality inthis state is out of control,
and we need tough Republicanswho are gonna stand up and say
(16:28):
enough is enough.
SPEAKER_01 (16:30):
Yeah, no more.
No more, ever.
How do you like the Trump thing?
I mean, I'm not a big Trump fan.
I am kind of a trump, I'm aRepublican.
You know, I have that centerline and I play both sides.
And I think common sense doesn'thave a party.
Now, his TPR, it's gonna be kindof a thing.
And and then of course the newswants to play it down like
(16:50):
there's only 900 people on it,and this, that, the other.
And we know that we can trustthe news about as far as we can
throw a semi.
How do you feel about that?
Because it that would be aconversation that would
certainly come across your desk,too, if you were elected in a
position.
SPEAKER_03 (17:05):
Yeah, I I think it's a great first step.
Uh it needs to be followed up bythe Department of the Justice,
Homeland Security, Department ofJustice coming in and doing an
investigation into the state,not only to figure out how this
money got funneled over to ourterrorist organization, uh, but
(17:28):
also to look at how manyindividuals in this state are
here illegally.
How many here have committed umimmigration fraud, have created
uh um been a part of uh refugeefraud?
Um it this is just the tip ofthe iceberg.
(17:50):
There is gotta be it's gotta becriminality going on.
There is so much criminalitygoing on.
Uh it it it's it's unfathomableto to believe what will actually
come out of it.
Um it's it's gonna be greaterthan than you and I can even
imagine.
Big time.
SPEAKER_01 (18:07):
You know, I tell these people who who give me
this look, I I can't believeTrump got back in.
I can't believe that I says,hold on, hold on.
You you have to focus on what'sgoing on.
Even the left dem don't wantwhat's going on to the socialist
left ems.
So now you got a party on theleft side beating themselves up
(18:28):
in the same party.
And and and you you wonder whyTrump got back in?
The lefts are starting to votefor him, right?
Because they just they're donewith being the punching bag.
Do you think that's enough toflip this state?
SPEAKER_03 (18:44):
I I think that there's enough common sense
individuals in this state thatthis state is not lost.
Let's um yeah, and and and letlet's let's be honest.
Uh if it doesn't flip now, howmuch worse does it need to get
before something changes?
Um you you can't consistently oryou can't continue to do the
(19:08):
same thing and expect adifferent result.
And this state has gone to hellin a handbasket with Governor
Wallace and Keith Ellison at theat the helm.
And we need a true leader who'sgoing to put a stop to all of
this, whether it's immigrationfraud, uh illegal immigrants in
(19:31):
this country, whether it's thecrime problem, whether it's the
billion-dollar plus worth offraud that uh that has been
found out so far, there's gonnabe more uh off the backs of
Minnesota taxpayers.
Property crimes is going to goup a billion dollars next year
for the state.
After a year where they raisedtaxes in 23 and 24, and now
(19:54):
again in 20 uh 26, propertytaxes are going to increase by a
billion dollars statewide.
Uh you are pricing individualsout of the state.
You are pushing employers out ofthis state because it is an
extremely unfriendly employerstate.
SPEAKER_01 (20:14):
Yeah, yeah.
Company Companies don't want tobe here.
SPEAKER_03 (20:18):
No, absolutely not.
Not only with the high taxes,but this this insane uh uh
family program that they'regonna initiate at the beginning
of the year.
Can you imagine the amount offraud that is gonna happen
there?
SPEAKER_01 (20:34):
Oh, that's incredible, isn't it?
Let's l let's look at what weknow.
Downtown used to be the bustlingMecca of of Minnesota.
Things happened.
Things get really happened, andnow they don't even want to be
downtown.
Can you blame them?
Now, if we keep moving thesepeople around the city or around
(20:56):
the around the state, okay,we're not downtown anymore.
We're gonna we're gonna move tohere or we're gonna move to
there.
And they and they get to thepoint where, okay, we we've
lowered the crime, but we stillhave a lot of money to pay this.
That's kind of a on-your-radarthing, isn't it?
SPEAKER_03 (21:11):
Yeah, absolutely.
The cost of living in the stateis it's it's devastating
families.
It's it's unaffordable.
And and Minnesota is what thefirst or the second highest tax
state in the in the nation.
Um it's it's unaffordable,unaffordable for the average
(21:33):
Minnesotan.
And you over the last what Ithink was 20 years, I read an
article about that Minnesota haslost more people than they've
taken in over the last 20 years.
We've got a net deficit uhpopulation in the state.
People are moving out of it andnot coming here.
Um and that should speakvolumes.
(21:53):
And the people who are cominghere are uh immigrants and and
illegal immigrants collecting,unfortunately, a lot of money
off uh from welfare and off thebacks of taxpaying citizens.
SPEAKER_01 (22:08):
Yeah.
That kind of sucks, huh?
SPEAKER_03 (22:12):
Absolutely.
Like I'm a very generous person.
Um my my again, like I'm runninga nonprofit to save lives of our
first responders.
I'm doing for I'm I'm doing itwithout collecting a paycheck.
Um I have a servant heart.
I love helping people.
Um, but it should be up toindividuals to help the the
(22:35):
groups and organizations thatthey want to help, not the gu it
shouldn't be the role of thegovernment.
The government shouldn't becharitable with with our money.
SPEAKER_01 (22:45):
I think I there was a show back in the days.
Oh uh Charles Givens.
Uh he had a he had a self-help10 cassette thing.
Name ring a bell?
He would say OPM other people'smoney.
Sell real estate on on backs ofother people.
And that's what it feels like tome.
(23:06):
Absolutely.
Here, we're gonna we're gonnagive away your stuff.
Hold on here, hold on.
Why are you giving away mystuff?
Give your own stuff away.
Yeah, that was a Charles E.
Gibbons real estate class.
I didn't remember it was 87, 88,where everybody wanted to be a
MLM multilevel thing, and it wasjust hilarious.
And you paid a thousand bucks toget in it.
(23:27):
So there you were, a real estatetycoon genius without no money.
Except for the guy who collecteda thousand bucks.
So do you think our state'sbeing run like an MLM?
SPEAKER_03 (23:37):
I do.
Without a doubt.
SPEAKER_01 (23:40):
Who's the ringleader?
SPEAKER_03 (23:45):
Well, you you've got to blame the person at the top.
That's uh Governor Wallace.
Uh nobody in his administrationhas ever been held accountable
for their failures.
Whether whether it's uh whetherit's a crime problem, whether
it's the fraud problem in thisstate, nobody's been fired.
SPEAKER_01 (24:04):
Well, he already explained that on the news.
He said it was just badbookkeeping.
SPEAKER_03 (24:09):
Yeah, a billion dollars worth of bad bookkeeping
uh i just doesn't pass a smelltest.
SPEAKER_01 (24:19):
It does if you're the one being smell.
SPEAKER_03 (24:21):
Yeah, well, you know, true leaders take
responsibility for um theirtheir actions, good or bad.
The box stops with them.
Governor Wallace is clearly nota good leader.
He is a failure at every turn,and it is time that we,
(24:42):
Minnesotans, take this stateback.
SPEAKER_01 (24:46):
That's a tall order, but I do believe that the TPR is
gonna be a pivotal piece in thatuh conversation.
Just like we wouldn't get the uhor like the Republicans couldn't
get this the House or the wellthe United States back at a
federal level, and they did.
Like you said, common senseain't common enough.
SPEAKER_03 (25:09):
So so go ahead.
I was gonna say no, it's not,but I I I think that there's
enough people in the middle whohave some of that common sense,
and they able they're able toevaluate what has gone over,
gone down in the last severalyears, and and really question,
(25:32):
you know, are things better nowthan they were before?
And the answer is no, uh,especially in this state.
Um it's great for those peoplecollecting uh welfare, um, but
for the average taxpayers, uhpair in Minnesota, uh the the it
it has not gotten better.
Whether again, whether you wantto look at crime or you want to
(25:54):
look at affordability and thecost of living, that this state
is is going down the downhill.
SPEAKER_01 (26:02):
So the people that vote for a living should fear
the people that pay them to votefor a living.
SPEAKER_03 (26:12):
I'm sorry, come again.
SPEAKER_01 (26:14):
The people that vote for a living should should fear
should fear the people that paythem to vote for a living.
SPEAKER_03 (26:21):
Yes, they should.
SPEAKER_01 (26:22):
I think that's a common sense approach, don't
you?
SPEAKER_03 (26:25):
Yes, yes, I do.
The people people sh electedleaders should be held
responsible for their decisions,and this is a government for the
people, by the people, and itneeds to get back to that.
Um too too many people thesedays, it they're they're
(26:45):
lifelong career politicians whoare only out there for their
best self-interest and notactually the people that they
represent.
SPEAKER_01 (26:55):
Well, at least it starts that way, right?
SPEAKER_03 (27:00):
That's so it it starts that way and it should
always stay that way.
And if if you you have somebodyrepresenting you who's a career
politician who's not being heldto the standards or expectations
that you have for them, then dosomething about it.
(27:20):
Whether it's uh donate to a aprimary candidate, whether it's
supporting a a uh a new personcoming on, get involved.
SPEAKER_01 (27:35):
Right.
Go knock some doors.
SPEAKER_03 (27:37):
Yeah, help them out.
Yeah, time time to get involved.
It's it's enough sitting sittingback and doing nothing and
bitching and whining about it.
And believe me, I've been there.
Um but now is the time to dosomething about it.
Um and again, it it continues togo back to this.
It's like if we can't win now,when can we win?
(27:57):
Um the the Republican Party hasa lot of great people in it, a
lot of strong messages.
We need together, we need tocome together, work as a team.
Uh, once the primaries are alldone, once endorsements are all
done, come together, worktogether as a team, and get the
best and strongest Republicanselected so we can make the
drastic changes that need to bemade in the state.
SPEAKER_01 (28:21):
When the funding got cut off federally, Trump comes
in and hits the hammer down,people are starting to dry up,
the state had to figure out howthey're gonna pay these EBTs,
whatever whatever they're callednow, quick social programs.
Now here's the here's theproblem with that.
There are some people that needthat.
Absolutely, I I am I am ahundred and thousand percent
(28:44):
that this has got to be done.
But then there are some peoplethat expected it.
And there are some people thatwere mad because they didn't get
it.
Now, the latter of the two, weowe that to them.
That is their God-given right tocollect from the state.
How would you stop that?
SPEAKER_03 (29:04):
Well, I I I would disagree on that premonition
that it's the god-given right tocollect from a state.
I I don't believe that to betrue whatsoever.
Um benefits, welfare benefitsshould be there to help
individuals out in need, butonly for for a duration of time.
And we should encourage peopleto be the best them.
(29:27):
Um we shouldn't be providingmeteoric lifestyles for these
individuals to continue to liveonly to collect welfare and and
not um brace to the their theirfullest potential.
So again, I I believe in helpingpeople out.
(29:48):
Um there should be welfare forthose who who truly need it.
Um, but there also needs to bechecks and balances.
This isn't something that shouldlast an entire lifetime and it
shouldn't last for generationsupon generations.
Uh I have firsthand experiencewith this working in North
Minneapolis at 1201 on the firstof the month.
You know, you would have 20 carslined up outside an outdoor ATM
(30:11):
pulling out cash.
Now, why are they allowed totake cash out of ATMs in order
to buy food?
There should be food stamps.
There should be there should berestrictions on what people can
and cannot buy.
They should not be able to buytobacco.
They should not be able to buyalcohol, and they should not be
(30:31):
able to sell their EBTs or foodstamps to other individuals for
cash.
There's a lot of fraud in theEBT system, in the SNAP program,
and there needs to beaccountability.
There needs to be, every sooften, every two years, I don't
think is unreasonable for tohave somebody reapply.
(30:52):
And having them having a termlimit, or not a term limit, but
a limit on how long people cancollect, I think, is very
reasonable.
SPEAKER_01 (31:00):
Sure, because we're the ones writing in checks.
We're not the one collecting it.
Absolutely.
Well it's reasonable to you, butnow let's play the devil's
advocate.
How dare you?
You you you racist guy, you howdare you say that I should
reapply?
What kind of world are youliving in?
SPEAKER_03 (31:16):
How is that racist?
There's there's people fromevery background, every
nationality, every skin colorthat that collects welfare.
Yeah, I mean nothing but I'mjust throwing that out at you,
man.
SPEAKER_01 (31:26):
I'm just I'm just, you know, the the the destroyers
want to find something, somexenophobe or pick some acronym
or whatever.
But but how dare you?
That's my money.
SPEAKER_03 (31:35):
That's that's that's your lazy argument.
Uh when when they can't fightback about uh about facts or or
the situation, they always callyou racist or homophobic or uh
put put whatever phobic you wantin there, and it and that's the
farthest thing from the truth.
SPEAKER_01 (31:53):
No, it's that they're gonna call you that so
that you back down.
SPEAKER_03 (31:56):
I I don't care.
I've been called that my entirelife.
Whenever whenever I was a cop,all these all these criminals
are like, oh, you're racist,you're racist.
Well, you know what?
I was helping the black victim.
How about them?
Uh how about society in generalstart standing up for these
victims regardless of what theylook like.
Uh and most of your viewers maynot know this, but I'm 100%
(32:18):
blind.
Uh, I went blind a little overthree years ago.
And I wish everybody had thismisfortune of being blind
because they quickly realizethat it doesn't matter what
somebody looks like, the thecolor of their skin, uh, their
nationality, what what genderthey are, it doesn't matter.
(32:39):
You I just want the bestqualified individuals to be
working for working with me.
So, you know, if I if I go to adoctor, I don't care what the
doctor looks like, I want thatperson to be the best in their
profession.
Uh, same with a constructionworker or whatever else it may
be.
(32:59):
I want that individual to be thevery best at what they do, um,
regardless of what he or shelooks like.
SPEAKER_01 (33:06):
Well, let's talk Adrian Noor.
Remember that story?
SPEAKER_03 (33:12):
Uh I believe so.
SPEAKER_01 (33:14):
Shot across his partner to hit this Australian
gal who come up who was introuble and she needed police
help.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, okay, this was a DEI hire.
Matter of fact, I'm I've gotvery good information on that
DEI hire.
Uh and the person who was TOMsaid, You you hire him or or
you're looking for a new job,and that was the gal, the police
(33:35):
chief gal.
Well, that kind of a DEI thing.
He wasn't the best in what hewas qualified for.
Adrian Norris seems like apretty good guy.
Uh Muslim, I think he was.
Mohammed Mohammed Norr.
Mohammed, okay.
And he seems like a hell of anice guy, but yet he scored low
(33:55):
on his intake.
SPEAKER_03 (34:00):
Absolutely.
And unfortunately, there's waytoo many of those people across
all segments of society.
And it doesn't mean that you'renot a nice person, it doesn't
mean you can't be successful atsomething else.
But if you're not the very bestat what you're doing, then you
shouldn't be you shouldn't behired.
Uh, if there's somebody who'smore qualified, uh they should
get the position above you, uh,regardless of of what it is.
(34:24):
Um, but again, it doesn't meanthat you can't be great at
something else.
And society has has it stuck intheir mind that you know these
people need to be in thisposition because they look like
this, and people who care orpeople who receive these
services are going to care whatthe person looks like, and
(34:45):
that's the farthest thing fromthe truth.
They just want qualifiedindividuals helping them out, um
and and these individuals to bethe very best at what they do.
SPEAKER_01 (34:55):
Absolutely.
But that ain't our world.
SPEAKER_03 (35:00):
Not yet.
Um it can be that way.
Uh we don't have to live thisway.
Uh and the same thing with thecrime problem.
We don't need to live in acrime-burn society.
There's other sections of theworld that you can leave your
smartphone on your chair at arestaurant and that's like
saving your speak seat.
You can go to the bathroom andcome back, and nobody's gonna
(35:21):
steal that.
You can walk in in parks atnight and not have to worry
about being mugged or raped orassaulted.
Uh and again, we don't need tolive this way, whether whether
it's a crime problem or whetherit's it's it's this DEI uh
garbage.
We we don't need to live thisway.
Uh treat everybody like you wantto be treated, and and treat
(35:45):
everybody with respect, but itdoesn't mean that people are
entitled to a certain positionor a certain job just because of
the color of their skin or whothey are.
SPEAKER_01 (35:57):
Well, I can only imagine in the next couple of
years this is gonna be a heck ofa conversation on the floor of
both the Senate and the House.
Especially if the state everflips.
Now, with your background,you're gonna have some first
hand knowledge that a lot ofpeople don't.
And you're gonna have they'regonna come to you and say, Guide
(36:17):
me in this decision, or let meknow what you think, and how and
why should we do that?
And what are you gonna tellthese people?
These people that at one pointDEI the world out of everything.
They they feed the children andkeep sending money to it, these
these same people.
Now they're gonna look at youand say, Hey, what did you do
when you were on the force?
How how would you say, I mean,would you say something to them
(36:38):
or would you just let them falland die on the sword?
SPEAKER_03 (36:42):
No, I I'd I'd talk to them about it and and show uh
and share with them myperspective.
Um my experience, myperspective, my my train of
thought.
I'm never gonna tell you how tovote, I'm never gonna tell you
how to think.
Um you you've got this thingbetween your two ears called a
brain.
Um you got the ability to takein information and to make your
(37:02):
own decision, and that is what Iwill give them.
I'll give them insight, I'llgive them information, I will
tell them my experience, but I'mnever gonna tell anybody that,
hey, you must do this uh becauseof that.
No, we're all given the abilityto think and rational and uh
rational, rationalize on ourown.
SPEAKER_01 (37:22):
Yeah.
Did you get where I was going onthat?
Yeah.
Because a lot of times there'sonly how many, 50, 60, 70 house
of representatives in the state.
I could be wrong.
My point is that sometimes youneed guidance within.
Yeah.
And some of the left won't talkto the rights, and vice versa.
SPEAKER_03 (37:43):
Yeah.
And I don't I don't care who youare, I'll talk to you.
Um, I'm not gonna be like, oh,you're a Democrat, uh, or you're
a lean Democrat, or you don'tagree with me on this position,
so I'm not gonna talk to youabout it.
Uh I I think that's wheresociety has failed tremendously
lately, is we refuse to talk toother individuals who don't
think like us.
SPEAKER_04 (38:03):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (38:03):
And I've got no problem doing that.
Um again, I'll share with you mymy thought, how I'm gonna vote,
why I'm gonna vote this way, andtry to educate you as much as
possible.
Um, but again, at the end of theday, we we everybody has the
ability to make their owndecision, and I will do my best
(38:24):
to convince people or or or topersuade people my way because
of my train of thought, myexperience, my training, uh,
whatever it may be.
Um I think that's yeah, and Ithink that's that's the most
effective way, just havingconversations with individuals
and and explaining them to tothem why you you're thinking
(38:46):
that way or they're or whythat's your train of thought.
Um not just a yes or no answer.
SPEAKER_01 (38:51):
Am I throwing a lot of hardballs at you, man?
No, we're good.
I just you have these questions,you've talked, I've talked to a
lot of people.
I've had the privilege oftalking to some pretty high
profile people.
And we're all saying the samething.
We're just saying it with a dwith a different letter.
(39:12):
And you know, and there's nottoo many nutjobs I've talked to
on either side of this, but youknow, when you when you feel
that real wrong vibe and you gotthis conversation going, and you
just want to hang up the phoneand say, Yeah, I don't want to
talk to you.
But you know, you muscle throughit and you finish.
Luckily I haven't had too muchof that.
And it sounds like you're a verywell-rounded, strong candidate
(39:33):
for your position.
SPEAKER_03 (39:36):
Thank you.
I believe so.
Um and you know, for for me,it's just I I I I I'm I'm a
Christian individual, I I Ibelieve in the the teaching of
of Jesus Christ, and I I believethat we should just try to
follow on his footsteps as muchas possible and just be good,
(39:59):
genuine human beings.
Uh, we don't need to be mean, wedon't need to be evil.
Um we can disagree with oneanother and and still find
common ground.
And we should all want toachieve the same thing, which is
happiness.
Uh and for for us believers, uhlife after death.
SPEAKER_01 (40:20):
Right.
And to be safe.
SPEAKER_03 (40:23):
Yeah, absolutely.
And and you know, I think allthat gets wrapped into to
happiness.
Like it's pretty hard to live ahappy life if if you you're in a
fear all the time, right?
Or um you're constantly gettinggetting attacked uh because your
beliefs.
Like that that's not a happy wayof life.
SPEAKER_01 (40:43):
Uh unfortunately, in the po public figure world, that
happens on a regular basis.
SPEAKER_03 (40:49):
Yeah, that is very true.
SPEAKER_01 (40:51):
No matter how thick the skin is, you still had
enough of it, and when you pop,you you don't want people around
you when you pop.
SPEAKER_03 (40:58):
I agree with that.
SPEAKER_01 (41:00):
Let's see what else.
Uh we we've had it, we covered alot of ground.
Again, you sound like anexcellent candidate.
I hope that people in yourvoting ward will say, hey, we
should probably pay attention tothis.
Give this guy a chance, make himmake him do his job and and and
put eyes on him and keep surethat he's gonna do his job.
What's your what's your umwebsite?
(41:22):
Give us uh information on how toget a hold of you.
SPEAKER_03 (41:25):
Yeah, check out my website.
It's vote stewardmn.com.
That's s-t-e-w-ar-r-d.
SPEAKER_01 (41:31):
Uh vote stewardmn.com through a uh
donate link in there and allthat good stuff?
SPEAKER_03 (41:38):
Yep, you'll uh on there you'll find my email
address, you'll find all mysocial media links, uh links,
and then uh a way to donate into help out.
SPEAKER_01 (41:48):
That sounds pretty awesome.
Is there anything you want toadd?
Because you're getting eventhough this show is global, we
still have a local followingthat's pretty decent.
What do you want them to know?
SPEAKER_03 (42:00):
We need to fight.
Um Minnesotans need to step upto the plate, and we need to
fight.
The time to take back this stateis is now, and we can do it as
long as we have individuals whoare willing to put forth the
effort, who are going to bestrong and stand by what they
say.
Uh unfortunately, too manypoliticians have have failed us
(42:23):
all, and and the trust withinpoliticians these days are are I
think only second to the lack oftrust in the media.
But I I'm here to bring trustback to being a legislator.
And I want you when I go outthere and talk to you and try to
earn your vote, I want to earnyour trust first before I earn
(42:48):
your vote.
Because if you can't trust me,how can you vote for me?
Um and I think we we need morepoliticians like that who are
who are going to stay on theirground and be like, no, I'm
gonna stand up against this oror for this because this is what
I believe, and this is what Itold you I was growing on, and
I'm gonna stick with that.
Um so you know, Republicans needto get out there and make sure
(43:14):
that everybody knows that theirvote matters.
Um get involved.
Yeah, get get involved, getengaged.
Uh 40% of uh Republicans in thestate uh don't vote because
they're they feel like they'redisenfranchised, whether they've
got uh uh a party uh a person inthe party that they they don't
(43:35):
care to vote for, they don'tthink that that individual is
strong enough, or because theythink that their vote doesn't
matter because it's going to beuh you know crossed up by an
illegal immigrant or or sometype of fraud.
Well, every vote does matter.
And if you're unwilling to goout there and vote um to get
involved, then you better beokay with shutting down, setting
(43:57):
up and that's saying a word.
Um because you get you get thegovernment you deserve, right?
Yeah, yeah, you get thegovernment you deserve, and you
and if if people aren't willingto get engaged, they aren't
willing to go out and stand upuh and involve people in that
they believe are or or have verysimilar values to, like we don't
need to agree, agree oneverything.
We'll never agree on everything.
(44:17):
Uh everybody's different,everybody comes from a different
background.
But if you agree with me on morethings than that or on very
important issues, then I Iwouldn't I would highly
encourage you, regardless ofwhat party you're in, uh vote
for me because I'm gonna be agood representative of who you
want, whether it's lower taxes,less crime, uh if you want to uh
(44:41):
stand up for your gun rights, umhold uh the government
accountable for your tax payingdollars, like find somebody that
you you you have a lot of commonwith, especially the big topics,
and get out there and vote.
SPEAKER_01 (44:59):
That's a lot, man.
You you you nailed this.
I'm I'm I'm very I'm very uh onpage.
If you were in my board, I'd saywhere's the where's the
checkbox?
I'm gonna do this.
SPEAKER_03 (45:14):
Thank you.

you will always know where Istand and you will always know
where I'm coming from.

Are you with me?
SPEAKER_03 (02:37):
Let's do it.
SPEAKER_01 (02:38):
Okay.
I can't believe that, dude.
Again, things in the bunker mustbe getting pretty old when I got
post-war equipment, right?
SPEAKER_03 (02:46):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (02:48):
Alright, super duper.
So let's do this.
We talked last time about a lotof things, and I'll tell you
what, it was hard to get my headaround it.
Had the had the system notfailed, I'd have had this
already up and posted.
But let's start out with youwere on the show before.
And you were you were running anNPO for a nonprofit.
(03:09):
From what the last show said,was you your nonprofit is is a
thing still, or is it not?
Yes, it is.
Okay, and enlighten us againwhat that was.
SPEAKER_03 (03:20):
So I run a nonprofit called Heroes Health and Heroes.
We are a Flybull 1C3 nonprofithere in Minnesota, and we'll be
expanding to neighboring stateshere this upcoming summer,
actually.
But uh we're a peer-to-peersupport group for both active
and retired first responders.
And what we do is we put ongroup outdoor activities for our
(03:42):
first responders to engage in atno cost for themselves.
And it's all about gettingindividuals who have experienced
a lot of the same and similartraumas throughout their
careers, getting them togetherand helping them cope with the
traumas and stresses of theirprofession.
And uh, you know, all in anattempt to help prevent first
responder suicides.
(04:02):
Awesome.
SPEAKER_01 (04:04):
And and I I think that we talked about it last
time.
You also said that you had awhat was it?
You were working with the MagnusVeterans Group, right?
Veterans Association?
SPEAKER_03 (04:16):
Uh we we have we've uh been in contact with them uh
and have uh partnered up withthem in the past when uh insofar
as marketing events, yes.
SPEAKER_01 (04:28):
Oh, awesome.
Sean's a pretty good egg.
He's a good friend of mine, andI've been talking to him for
years.
And uh you you know, you guysgot a heck of a job in front of
you.
Uh that's just that's a lot ofwork, and hats off to both of
you.
So let's start out with what yougot going now.
Tell me what's going on in theworld.
SPEAKER_03 (04:44):
Yeah, you know, so uh apparently I didn't have
enough on my plate.
So uh with everything that'shappened the last couple years,
uh, as far as politics isconcerned, um that my
interaction with legislatorswhile running my nonprofit, um,
I I was just sick of uh the thecourse that this state in
(05:08):
particular is heading and thedishonesty of politicians on
both sides of the aisle.
So after careful thought andprayer, uh I decided to announce
that I am running for theMinnesota House of
Representatives, representingDistrict 54B, which includes the
(05:30):
Power Lake area.
Uh it this year it's gonna beit's for 2026, so it's an open
seat.
Uh Representative Bakeberg, whocurrently holds this position,
is gonna be stepping up andrunning for the open and
Minnesota Senate seat.
SPEAKER_01 (05:47):
Well, that's a handful, huh?
SPEAKER_03 (05:49):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (05:52):
Are you ready for this?
SPEAKER_03 (05:54):
I am, yes.
I um I'm excited.
I'm extremely motivated.
Um and with my life experienceworking as a cop for Minneapolis
for roughly 15 years, uh workingin the most my most of my career
(06:16):
in the underserved area of NorthMinneapolis, and all the
split-second decisions that Iwas required to make on a daily
basis, the interactions thatI've had with people throughout
my career, being able to talk toindividuals, be able to uh
(06:38):
convince them to do things thatthey may not want to do, um,
especially in hostile situationswhere criminals don't always
want to listen to the police.
And just being able to navigatethose waters, uh, along with my
experience running a nonprofitand having a fair amount of
(07:01):
interaction on the legislativeside of things, fighting for
legislation, fighting againstother legislation, um, I think
has given me the experience tomove forward with this next
venture and to do it to do itwell.
Um, I don't need this job.
(07:22):
I want it.
Um I I want to continue to helppeople.
I I've been a public serviceservant my entire life with
Minneapolis Police and nowrunning my nonprofit.
And and I'm here to serve thepeople.
I'm not here to put myself-interest first.
Um I'm not here to put um, youknow, this this isn't this isn't
(07:43):
going to be a career for me.
I'm not a career politician, I'mnot a politician.
I'm a I'm a husband, I'm afather, um, and I'm somebody
that cares deeply for for thestate and for this country.
And I'm going to go in there andand fight for what I believe is
right and to make a difference.
SPEAKER_01 (08:02):
Well, that's a lot of fight.
Good for you, good for joiningthe trink the team.
But there's still a lot ofpeople that want to fight the
fight.
What if what if they're on theother side who want to fight the
fight?
Who you know, how do you how dowe want to believe you?
And and tell me what's differentabout you.
SPEAKER_03 (08:20):
What's what's different about me is that I've
been in these tough situations,uh, especially with Minneapolis,
and I I've stood up against umthese so-called leaders when
they're wrong, and I I I have noproblem doing it.
I actually enjoy it.
Um I've never I've never been ayes man.
(08:43):
I will never be a yes man.
Um I I have very strongprinciples that I try to lead my
life with, and I'm a fighter.
Um, I'm gonna do what, again, Ibelieve is right.
I've done it my entire career,and I'm going to go out there
(09:04):
and fight.
And as soon as I'm not effectiveanymore, um I'll no no longer uh
do what I'm doing.
Um, but as long as I'meffective, uh whether it's uh
running a nonprofit or or nowseeking this uh this house seat,
uh I I'm gonna do it.
SPEAKER_01 (09:22):
Now when you get in the house, there are gonna be uh
SFs and HFs coming through,Senate floor, house floor for
you new listeners.
Let's say uh a bill comes acrossyour desk.
Let's say you get in andeverything's all honky dory.
Now, I'm gonna play a littledevil advocate here, so don't
don't don't beat me up too bad.
There's gonna be a use of forcepolicy.
(09:45):
We all know what's going on inthe news currently.
We this we this we've been downabout a week with my server
offline.
But the use of force policy isgonna say, did Derek Chauvin
have such a big hit on this?
Was he obviously uh again withyour police history?
Was he overuse of force?
Was he under use of force?
We're gonna put a policy inhouse floor that we can't use of
(10:08):
force, we're gonna you know youknow you've all heard all the
stories.
Now, how would you how would youapproach that with an objective
view saying, okay, yeah, didDerek get carried away?
Did he not?
And I don't know if you'veserved with Derek or not.
So this might be like a toughquestion.
SPEAKER_03 (10:24):
Yeah, so so if you're talking in particular
about the use of force that uhDerek Chauvin used, I I never
worked with him, I knew who hewas, uh, so there's that there's
not that connection between thetwo of us.
Um I don't think the force thathe used was inappropriate, uh or
ex uh I guess I should sayexcessive.
(10:46):
Um kneeling on what I believewas was his shoulder blades, not
his neck, um, is appropriate useof force in most circumstances.
Being on his neck for nineminutes, however long it was,
may not have been the mostappropriate thing, but it wasn't
(11:07):
excessive force, and it was notwhat contributed to the death of
uh Mr.
SPEAKER_01 (11:14):
Floyd.
Mr.
Floyd.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (11:16):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (11:16):
But Ariando says, and he came out publicly to say,
like, this is a uh excessive useof force, and we're gonna we're
gonna hang this guy.
Now, would you go against youryour your boss, your chief, the
to to be right and still bewrong?
SPEAKER_03 (11:31):
Absolutely.
Uh Chief Arendano is is wrong100%.
Um he he is a very niceindividual, um, or he used to
be, um, but he was a horriblepolice chief.
He was a horrible cop.
Um, he had his guns stolen fromhim at least twice throughout
(11:52):
his career by suspects.
Um, so you know, when when itcomes to uh police uh Chief
Aaron Dondo and his skill ofappropriate force and what was
or or wasn't excessive, uh, Idon't think is a good benchmark.
You have to look at what anormal cop would have done given
(12:15):
those exact same circumstances,and that's how excessive force
use of forces is uh is lookedthrough.
Um and again, I I I don't thinkit was excessive.
I think it m was probablyinappropriate for how long he
stood uh kneeled on um Mr.
Floyd's back.
Um, but again, uh wasn't acriminal issue, should have
(12:39):
never been a criminal issuebecause again, Floyd died from
the amount of fentanyl in hissystem.
SPEAKER_01 (12:45):
Right.
Well, that see all this isstarting to come out.
And we we both have a person whoknows a person who has been with
that guy, uh, rode with him andthen probably to'd him.
This is not about a question ofwhether or not it was it was
right or wrong.
This is a question of whetheryou, if if you hold a position
of power or oversight, wouldsay, no, Mr.
(13:07):
Arendundo, we're not doing this.
This is not gonna be aconversation.
And no, I will therefore notsupport this bill to excessive
force this.
That's my question.
SPEAKER_03 (13:18):
Yeah, absolutely.
Um, I again I did it when I wasa cop.
I'll I'll do it here.
Um, I've got no problem uhstanding up for what I believe
is right.
Um, and I am not somebody that'sgonna be paid for by special or
uh lobbyist organizations.
Uh I'm going to go out there andrepresent the people.
(13:41):
I'm not here to representlobbyist organizations or
special interests.
And to be honest, uh I don'tcare who these individuals are.
Wrong is wrong, right is right.
And regardless of what side ofthe alley you're on or what
position you hold, um you shouldbe held to the same standard as
everybody else.
SPEAKER_01 (14:03):
People think that because you're in a district,
54B, was it?
Yes.
That this doesn't affect them.
I I happen to think thedifference.
How would you think that thiswould affect these people in
your area because of we paystate taxes, we pay federal
taxes, we're we pay for thatmillion dollar gold gasket that
uh Minneapolis put for JacobFry's crying on.
(14:26):
What do you think there?
SPEAKER_03 (14:30):
Yeah, I mean it it it it affects you.
Um and I would say it has adirect effect on everybody.
Um, because not only does it youknow it it correlate with with
taxes and the rise of taxes, um,but also it a lot of people are
associated with downtownMinneapolis, whether it's
(14:52):
personal, whether it'sbusiness-wise, um and going down
there and being a victim of acrime, uh, whether it's you
yourself or or somebody that youknow, a family member or friend,
um, this affects everybody.
That the downfall of Minneapolishas affected everybody in one
(15:13):
way or another, whether theywant to admit it or not.
And it may not be that directcorrelation, but you know, it it
has.
Um, it has it has changed thisentire state, uh, whether it's
exact you know, directly whathappened with Minneapolis with
the riots and with theessentially the city being burnt
down, um, to the disrespecttowards law enforcement and the
(15:39):
lack of the lack of uh trust uhwithin within law enforcement,
but also within um the respectto individuals in authority
positions whatsoever, whetherit's teachers, whether it's
parents, whether it's it's lawenforcement, this state has
turned into uh into a zoo.
(16:03):
It's it's prime time forcriminals and prime example.
Minnesotans are the highest orMinnesotans are the biggest
contributor to Al-Shabaab, aterrorist organization holding
small.
Yeah.
It is absolutely insane.
Um that the the criminality inthis state is out of control,
and we need tough Republicanswho are gonna stand up and say
(16:28):
enough is enough.
SPEAKER_01 (16:30):
Yeah, no more.
No more, ever.
How do you like the Trump thing?
I mean, I'm not a big Trump fan.
I am kind of a trump, I'm aRepublican.
You know, I have that centerline and I play both sides.
And I think common sense doesn'thave a party.
Now, his TPR, it's gonna be kindof a thing.
And and then of course the newswants to play it down like
(16:50):
there's only 900 people on it,and this, that, the other.
And we know that we can trustthe news about as far as we can
throw a semi.
How do you feel about that?
Because it that would be aconversation that would
certainly come across your desk,too, if you were elected in a
position.
SPEAKER_03 (17:05):
Yeah, I I think it's a great first step.
Uh it needs to be followed up bythe Department of the Justice,
Homeland Security, Department ofJustice coming in and doing an
investigation into the state,not only to figure out how this
money got funneled over to ourterrorist organization, uh, but
(17:28):
also to look at how manyindividuals in this state are
here illegally.
How many here have committed umimmigration fraud, have created
uh um been a part of uh refugeefraud?
Um it this is just the tip ofthe iceberg.
(17:50):
There is gotta be it's gotta becriminality going on.
There is so much criminalitygoing on.
Uh it it it's it's unfathomableto to believe what will actually
come out of it.
Um it's it's gonna be greaterthan than you and I can even
imagine.
Big time.
SPEAKER_01 (18:07):
You know, I tell these people who who give me
this look, I I can't believeTrump got back in.
I can't believe that I says,hold on, hold on.
You you have to focus on what'sgoing on.
Even the left dem don't wantwhat's going on to the socialist
left ems.
So now you got a party on theleft side beating themselves up
(18:28):
in the same party.
And and and you you wonder whyTrump got back in?
The lefts are starting to votefor him, right?
Because they just they're donewith being the punching bag.
Do you think that's enough toflip this state?
SPEAKER_03 (18:44):
I I think that there's enough common sense
individuals in this state thatthis state is not lost.
Let's um yeah, and and and letlet's let's be honest.
Uh if it doesn't flip now, howmuch worse does it need to get
before something changes?
Um you you can't consistently oryou can't continue to do the
(19:08):
same thing and expect adifferent result.
And this state has gone to hellin a handbasket with Governor
Wallace and Keith Ellison at theat the helm.
And we need a true leader who'sgoing to put a stop to all of
this, whether it's immigrationfraud, uh illegal immigrants in
(19:31):
this country, whether it's thecrime problem, whether it's the
billion-dollar plus worth offraud that uh that has been
found out so far, there's gonnabe more uh off the backs of
Minnesota taxpayers.
Property crimes is going to goup a billion dollars next year
for the state.
After a year where they raisedtaxes in 23 and 24, and now
(19:54):
again in 20 uh 26, propertytaxes are going to increase by a
billion dollars statewide.
Uh you are pricing individualsout of the state.
You are pushing employers out ofthis state because it is an
extremely unfriendly employerstate.
SPEAKER_01 (20:14):
Yeah, yeah.
Company Companies don't want tobe here.
SPEAKER_03 (20:18):
No, absolutely not.
Not only with the high taxes,but this this insane uh uh
family program that they'regonna initiate at the beginning
of the year.
Can you imagine the amount offraud that is gonna happen
there?
SPEAKER_01 (20:34):
Oh, that's incredible, isn't it?
Let's l let's look at what weknow.
Downtown used to be the bustlingMecca of of Minnesota.
Things happened.
Things get really happened, andnow they don't even want to be
downtown.
Can you blame them?
Now, if we keep moving thesepeople around the city or around
(20:56):
the around the state, okay,we're not downtown anymore.
We're gonna we're gonna move tohere or we're gonna move to
there.
And they and they get to thepoint where, okay, we we've
lowered the crime, but we stillhave a lot of money to pay this.
That's kind of a on-your-radarthing, isn't it?
SPEAKER_03 (21:11):
Yeah, absolutely.
The cost of living in the stateis it's it's devastating
families.
It's it's unaffordable.
And and Minnesota is what thefirst or the second highest tax
state in the in the nation.
Um it's it's unaffordable,unaffordable for the average
(21:33):
Minnesotan.
And you over the last what Ithink was 20 years, I read an
article about that Minnesota haslost more people than they've
taken in over the last 20 years.
We've got a net deficit uhpopulation in the state.
People are moving out of it andnot coming here.
Um and that should speakvolumes.
(21:53):
And the people who are cominghere are uh immigrants and and
illegal immigrants collecting,unfortunately, a lot of money
off uh from welfare and off thebacks of taxpaying citizens.
SPEAKER_01 (22:08):
Yeah.
That kind of sucks, huh?
SPEAKER_03 (22:12):
Absolutely.
Like I'm a very generous person.
Um my my again, like I'm runninga nonprofit to save lives of our
first responders.
I'm doing for I'm I'm doing itwithout collecting a paycheck.
Um I have a servant heart.
I love helping people.
Um, but it should be up toindividuals to help the the
(22:35):
groups and organizations thatthey want to help, not the gu it
shouldn't be the role of thegovernment.
The government shouldn't becharitable with with our money.
SPEAKER_01 (22:45):
I think I there was a show back in the days.
Oh uh Charles Givens.
Uh he had a he had a self-help10 cassette thing.
Name ring a bell?
He would say OPM other people'smoney.
Sell real estate on on backs ofother people.
And that's what it feels like tome.
(23:06):
Absolutely.
Here, we're gonna we're gonnagive away your stuff.
Hold on here, hold on.
Why are you giving away mystuff?
Give your own stuff away.
Yeah, that was a Charles E.
Gibbons real estate class.
I didn't remember it was 87, 88,where everybody wanted to be a
MLM multilevel thing, and it wasjust hilarious.
And you paid a thousand bucks toget in it.
(23:27):
So there you were, a real estatetycoon genius without no money.
Except for the guy who collecteda thousand bucks.
So do you think our state'sbeing run like an MLM?
SPEAKER_03 (23:37):
I do.
Without a doubt.
SPEAKER_01 (23:40):
Who's the ringleader?
SPEAKER_03 (23:45):
Well, you you've got to blame the person at the top.
That's uh Governor Wallace.
Uh nobody in his administrationhas ever been held accountable
for their failures.
Whether whether it's uh whetherit's a crime problem, whether
it's the fraud problem in thisstate, nobody's been fired.
SPEAKER_01 (24:04):
Well, he already explained that on the news.
He said it was just badbookkeeping.
SPEAKER_03 (24:09):
Yeah, a billion dollars worth of bad bookkeeping
uh i just doesn't pass a smelltest.
SPEAKER_01 (24:19):
It does if you're the one being smell.
SPEAKER_03 (24:21):
Yeah, well, you know, true leaders take
responsibility for um theirtheir actions, good or bad.
The box stops with them.
Governor Wallace is clearly nota good leader.
He is a failure at every turn,and it is time that we,
(24:42):
Minnesotans, take this stateback.
SPEAKER_01 (24:46):
That's a tall order, but I do believe that the TPR is
gonna be a pivotal piece in thatuh conversation.
Just like we wouldn't get the uhor like the Republicans couldn't
get this the House or the wellthe United States back at a
federal level, and they did.
Like you said, common senseain't common enough.
SPEAKER_03 (25:09):
So so go ahead.
I was gonna say no, it's not,but I I I think that there's
enough people in the middle whohave some of that common sense,
and they able they're able toevaluate what has gone over,
gone down in the last severalyears, and and really question,
(25:32):
you know, are things better nowthan they were before?
And the answer is no, uh,especially in this state.
Um it's great for those peoplecollecting uh welfare, um, but
for the average taxpayers, uhpair in Minnesota, uh the the it
it has not gotten better.
Whether again, whether you wantto look at crime or you want to
(25:54):
look at affordability and thecost of living, that this state
is is going down the downhill.
SPEAKER_01 (26:02):
So the people that vote for a living should fear
the people that pay them to votefor a living.
SPEAKER_03 (26:12):
I'm sorry, come again.
SPEAKER_01 (26:14):
The people that vote for a living should should fear
should fear the people that paythem to vote for a living.
SPEAKER_03 (26:21):
Yes, they should.
SPEAKER_01 (26:22):
I think that's a common sense approach, don't
you?
SPEAKER_03 (26:25):
Yes, yes, I do.
The people people sh electedleaders should be held
responsible for their decisions,and this is a government for the
people, by the people, and itneeds to get back to that.
Um too too many people thesedays, it they're they're
(26:45):
lifelong career politicians whoare only out there for their
best self-interest and notactually the people that they
represent.
SPEAKER_01 (26:55):
Well, at least it starts that way, right?
SPEAKER_03 (27:00):
That's so it it starts that way and it should
always stay that way.
And if if you you have somebodyrepresenting you who's a career
politician who's not being heldto the standards or expectations
that you have for them, then dosomething about it.
(27:20):
Whether it's uh donate to a aprimary candidate, whether it's
supporting a a uh a new personcoming on, get involved.
SPEAKER_01 (27:35):
Right.
Go knock some doors.
SPEAKER_03 (27:37):
Yeah, help them out.
Yeah, time time to get involved.
It's it's enough sitting sittingback and doing nothing and
bitching and whining about it.
And believe me, I've been there.
Um but now is the time to dosomething about it.
Um and again, it it continues togo back to this.
It's like if we can't win now,when can we win?
(27:57):
Um the the Republican Party hasa lot of great people in it, a
lot of strong messages.
We need together, we need tocome together, work as a team.
Uh, once the primaries are alldone, once endorsements are all
done, come together, worktogether as a team, and get the
best and strongest Republicanselected so we can make the
drastic changes that need to bemade in the state.
SPEAKER_01 (28:21):
When the funding got cut off federally, Trump comes
in and hits the hammer down,people are starting to dry up,
the state had to figure out howthey're gonna pay these EBTs,
whatever whatever they're callednow, quick social programs.
Now here's the here's theproblem with that.
There are some people that needthat.
Absolutely, I I am I am ahundred and thousand percent
(28:44):
that this has got to be done.
But then there are some peoplethat expected it.
And there are some people thatwere mad because they didn't get
it.
Now, the latter of the two, weowe that to them.
That is their God-given right tocollect from the state.
How would you stop that?
SPEAKER_03 (29:04):
Well, I I I would disagree on that premonition
that it's the god-given right tocollect from a state.
I I don't believe that to betrue whatsoever.
Um benefits, welfare benefitsshould be there to help
individuals out in need, butonly for for a duration of time.
And we should encourage peopleto be the best them.
(29:27):
Um we shouldn't be providingmeteoric lifestyles for these
individuals to continue to liveonly to collect welfare and and
not um brace to the their theirfullest potential.
So again, I I believe in helpingpeople out.
(29:48):
Um there should be welfare forthose who who truly need it.
Um, but there also needs to bechecks and balances.
This isn't something that shouldlast an entire lifetime and it
shouldn't last for generationsupon generations.
Uh I have firsthand experiencewith this working in North
Minneapolis at 1201 on the firstof the month.
You know, you would have 20 carslined up outside an outdoor ATM
(30:11):
pulling out cash.
Now, why are they allowed totake cash out of ATMs in order
to buy food?
There should be food stamps.
There should be there should berestrictions on what people can
and cannot buy.
They should not be able to buytobacco.
They should not be able to buyalcohol, and they should not be
(30:31):
able to sell their EBTs or foodstamps to other individuals for
cash.
There's a lot of fraud in theEBT system, in the SNAP program,
and there needs to beaccountability.
There needs to be, every sooften, every two years, I don't
think is unreasonable for tohave somebody reapply.
(30:52):
And having them having a termlimit, or not a term limit, but
a limit on how long people cancollect, I think, is very
reasonable.
SPEAKER_01 (31:00):
Sure, because we're the ones writing in checks.
We're not the one collecting it.
Absolutely.
Well it's reasonable to you, butnow let's play the devil's
advocate.
How dare you?
You you you racist guy, you howdare you say that I should
reapply?
What kind of world are youliving in?
SPEAKER_03 (31:16):
How is that racist?
There's there's people fromevery background, every
nationality, every skin colorthat that collects welfare.
Yeah, I mean nothing but I'mjust throwing that out at you,
man.
SPEAKER_01 (31:26):
I'm just I'm just, you know, the the the destroyers
want to find something, somexenophobe or pick some acronym
or whatever.
But but how dare you?
That's my money.
SPEAKER_03 (31:35):
That's that's that's your lazy argument.
Uh when when they can't fightback about uh about facts or or
the situation, they always callyou racist or homophobic or uh
put put whatever phobic you wantin there, and it and that's the
farthest thing from the truth.
SPEAKER_01 (31:53):
No, it's that they're gonna call you that so
that you back down.
SPEAKER_03 (31:56):
I I don't care.
I've been called that my entirelife.
Whenever whenever I was a cop,all these all these criminals
are like, oh, you're racist,you're racist.
Well, you know what?
I was helping the black victim.
How about them?
Uh how about society in generalstart standing up for these
victims regardless of what theylook like.
Uh and most of your viewers maynot know this, but I'm 100%
(32:18):
blind.
Uh, I went blind a little overthree years ago.
And I wish everybody had thismisfortune of being blind
because they quickly realizethat it doesn't matter what
somebody looks like, the thecolor of their skin, uh, their
nationality, what what genderthey are, it doesn't matter.
(32:39):
You I just want the bestqualified individuals to be
working for working with me.
So, you know, if I if I go to adoctor, I don't care what the
doctor looks like, I want thatperson to be the best in their
profession.
Uh, same with a constructionworker or whatever else it may
be.
(32:59):
I want that individual to be thevery best at what they do, um,
regardless of what he or shelooks like.
SPEAKER_01 (33:06):
Well, let's talk Adrian Noor.
Remember that story?
SPEAKER_03 (33:12):
Uh I believe so.
SPEAKER_01 (33:14):
Shot across his partner to hit this Australian
gal who come up who was introuble and she needed police
help.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, okay, this was a DEI hire.
Matter of fact, I'm I've gotvery good information on that
DEI hire.
Uh and the person who was TOMsaid, You you hire him or or
you're looking for a new job,and that was the gal, the police
(33:35):
chief gal.
Well, that kind of a DEI thing.
He wasn't the best in what hewas qualified for.
Adrian Norris seems like apretty good guy.
Uh Muslim, I think he was.
Mohammed Mohammed Norr.
Mohammed, okay.
And he seems like a hell of anice guy, but yet he scored low
(33:55):
on his intake.
SPEAKER_03 (34:00):
Absolutely.
And unfortunately, there's waytoo many of those people across
all segments of society.
And it doesn't mean that you'renot a nice person, it doesn't
mean you can't be successful atsomething else.
But if you're not the very bestat what you're doing, then you
shouldn't be you shouldn't behired.
Uh, if there's somebody who'smore qualified, uh they should
get the position above you, uh,regardless of of what it is.
(34:24):
Um, but again, it doesn't meanthat you can't be great at
something else.
And society has has it stuck intheir mind that you know these
people need to be in thisposition because they look like
this, and people who care orpeople who receive these
services are going to care whatthe person looks like, and
(34:45):
that's the farthest thing fromthe truth.
They just want qualifiedindividuals helping them out, um
and and these individuals to bethe very best at what they do.
SPEAKER_01 (34:55):
Absolutely.
But that ain't our world.
SPEAKER_03 (35:00):
Not yet.
Um it can be that way.
Uh we don't have to live thisway.
Uh and the same thing with thecrime problem.
We don't need to live in acrime-burn society.
There's other sections of theworld that you can leave your
smartphone on your chair at arestaurant and that's like
saving your speak seat.
You can go to the bathroom andcome back, and nobody's gonna
(35:21):
steal that.
You can walk in in parks atnight and not have to worry
about being mugged or raped orassaulted.
Uh and again, we don't need tolive this way, whether whether
it's a crime problem or whetherit's it's it's this DEI uh
garbage.
We we don't need to live thisway.
Uh treat everybody like you wantto be treated, and and treat
(35:45):
everybody with respect, but itdoesn't mean that people are
entitled to a certain positionor a certain job just because of
the color of their skin or whothey are.
SPEAKER_01 (35:57):
Well, I can only imagine in the next couple of
years this is gonna be a heck ofa conversation on the floor of
both the Senate and the House.
Especially if the state everflips.
Now, with your background,you're gonna have some first
hand knowledge that a lot ofpeople don't.
And you're gonna have they'regonna come to you and say, Guide
(36:17):
me in this decision, or let meknow what you think, and how and
why should we do that?
And what are you gonna tellthese people?
These people that at one pointDEI the world out of everything.
They they feed the children andkeep sending money to it, these
these same people.
Now they're gonna look at youand say, Hey, what did you do
when you were on the force?
How how would you say, I mean,would you say something to them
(36:38):
or would you just let them falland die on the sword?
SPEAKER_03 (36:42):
No, I I'd I'd talk to them about it and and show uh
and share with them myperspective.
Um my experience, myperspective, my my train of
thought.
I'm never gonna tell you how tovote, I'm never gonna tell you
how to think.
Um you you've got this thingbetween your two ears called a
brain.
Um you got the ability to takein information and to make your
(37:02):
own decision, and that is what Iwill give them.
I'll give them insight, I'llgive them information, I will
tell them my experience, but I'mnever gonna tell anybody that,
hey, you must do this uh becauseof that.
No, we're all given the abilityto think and rational and uh
rational, rationalize on ourown.
SPEAKER_01 (37:22):
Yeah.
Did you get where I was going onthat?
Yeah.
Because a lot of times there'sonly how many, 50, 60, 70 house
of representatives in the state.
I could be wrong.
My point is that sometimes youneed guidance within.
Yeah.
And some of the left won't talkto the rights, and vice versa.
SPEAKER_03 (37:43):
Yeah.
And I don't I don't care who youare, I'll talk to you.
Um, I'm not gonna be like, oh,you're a Democrat, uh, or you're
a lean Democrat, or you don'tagree with me on this position,
so I'm not gonna talk to youabout it.
Uh I I think that's wheresociety has failed tremendously
lately, is we refuse to talk toother individuals who don't
think like us.
SPEAKER_04 (38:03):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (38:03):
And I've got no problem doing that.
Um again, I'll share with you mymy thought, how I'm gonna vote,
why I'm gonna vote this way, andtry to educate you as much as
possible.
Um, but again, at the end of theday, we we everybody has the
ability to make their owndecision, and I will do my best
(38:24):
to convince people or or or topersuade people my way because
of my train of thought, myexperience, my training, uh,
whatever it may be.
Um I think that's yeah, and Ithink that's that's the most
effective way, just havingconversations with individuals
and and explaining them to tothem why you you're thinking
(38:46):
that way or they're or whythat's your train of thought.
Um not just a yes or no answer.
SPEAKER_01 (38:51):
Am I throwing a lot of hardballs at you, man?
No, we're good.
I just you have these questions,you've talked, I've talked to a
lot of people.
I've had the privilege oftalking to some pretty high
profile people.
And we're all saying the samething.
We're just saying it with a dwith a different letter.
(39:12):
And you know, and there's nottoo many nutjobs I've talked to
on either side of this, but youknow, when you when you feel
that real wrong vibe and you gotthis conversation going, and you
just want to hang up the phoneand say, Yeah, I don't want to
talk to you.
But you know, you muscle throughit and you finish.
Luckily I haven't had too muchof that.
And it sounds like you're a verywell-rounded, strong candidate
(39:33):
for your position.
SPEAKER_03 (39:36):
Thank you.
I believe so.
Um and you know, for for me,it's just I I I I I'm I'm a
Christian individual, I I Ibelieve in the the teaching of
of Jesus Christ, and I I believethat we should just try to
follow on his footsteps as muchas possible and just be good,
(39:59):
genuine human beings.
Uh, we don't need to be mean, wedon't need to be evil.
Um we can disagree with oneanother and and still find
common ground.
And we should all want toachieve the same thing, which is
happiness.
Uh and for for us believers, uhlife after death.
SPEAKER_01 (40:20):
Right.
And to be safe.
SPEAKER_03 (40:23):
Yeah, absolutely.
And and you know, I think allthat gets wrapped into to
happiness.
Like it's pretty hard to live ahappy life if if you you're in a
fear all the time, right?
Or um you're constantly gettinggetting attacked uh because your
beliefs.
Like that that's not a happy wayof life.
SPEAKER_01 (40:43):
Uh unfortunately, in the po public figure world, that
happens on a regular basis.
SPEAKER_03 (40:49):
Yeah, that is very true.
SPEAKER_01 (40:51):
No matter how thick the skin is, you still had
enough of it, and when you pop,you you don't want people around
you when you pop.
SPEAKER_03 (40:58):
I agree with that.
SPEAKER_01 (41:00):
Let's see what else.
Uh we we've had it, we covered alot of ground.
Again, you sound like anexcellent candidate.
I hope that people in yourvoting ward will say, hey, we
should probably pay attention tothis.
Give this guy a chance, make himmake him do his job and and and
put eyes on him and keep surethat he's gonna do his job.
What's your what's your umwebsite?
(41:22):

SPEAKER_03 (41:25):
Yeah, check out my website.
It's vote stewardmn.com.
That's s-t-e-w-ar-r-d.
SPEAKER_01 (41:31):

donate link in there and allthat good stuff?
SPEAKER_03 (41:38):
Yep, you'll uh on there you'll find my email
address, you'll find all mysocial media links, uh links,
and then uh a way to donate into help out.
SPEAKER_01 (41:48):
That sounds pretty awesome.
Is there anything you want toadd?
Because you're getting eventhough this show is global, we
still have a local followingthat's pretty decent.
What do you want them to know?
SPEAKER_03 (42:00):
We need to fight.
Um Minnesotans need to step upto the plate, and we need to
fight.
The time to take back this stateis is now, and we can do it as
long as we have individuals whoare willing to put forth the
effort, who are going to bestrong and stand by what they
say.
Uh unfortunately, too manypoliticians have have failed us
(42:23):
all, and and the trust withinpoliticians these days are are I
think only second to the lack oftrust in the media.
But I I'm here to bring trustback to being a legislator.
And I want you when I go outthere and talk to you and try to
earn your vote, I want to earnyour trust first before I earn
(42:48):
your vote.
Because if you can't trust me,how can you vote for me?
Um and I think we we need morepoliticians like that who are
who are going to stay on theirground and be like, no, I'm
gonna stand up against this oror for this because this is what
I believe, and this is what Itold you I was growing on, and
I'm gonna stick with that.
Um so you know, Republicans needto get out there and make sure
(43:14):
that everybody knows that theirvote matters.
Um get involved.
Yeah, get get involved, getengaged.
Uh 40% of uh Republicans in thestate uh don't vote because
they're they feel like they'redisenfranchised, whether they've
got uh uh a party uh a person inthe party that they they don't
(43:35):
care to vote for, they don'tthink that that individual is
strong enough, or because theythink that their vote doesn't
matter because it's going to beuh you know crossed up by an
illegal immigrant or or sometype of fraud.
Well, every vote does matter.
And if you're unwilling to goout there and vote um to get
involved, then you better beokay with shutting down, setting
(43:57):
up and that's saying a word.
Um because you get you get thegovernment you deserve, right?
Yeah, yeah, you get thegovernment you deserve, and you
and if if people aren't willingto get engaged, they aren't
willing to go out and stand upuh and involve people in that
they believe are or or have verysimilar values to, like we don't
need to agree, agree oneverything.
We'll never agree on everything.
(44:17):
Uh everybody's different,everybody comes from a different
background.
But if you agree with me on morethings than that or on very
important issues, then I Iwouldn't I would highly
encourage you, regardless ofwhat party you're in, uh vote
for me because I'm gonna be agood representative of who you
want, whether it's lower taxes,less crime, uh if you want to uh
(44:41):
stand up for your gun rights, umhold uh the government
accountable for your tax payingdollars, like find somebody that
you you you have a lot of commonwith, especially the big topics,
and get out there and vote.
SPEAKER_01 (44:59):
That's a lot, man.
You you you nailed this.
I'm I'm I'm very I'm very uh onpage.
If you were in my board, I'd saywhere's the where's the
checkbox?
I'm gonna do this.

you will always know where Istand and you will always know
where I'm coming from.
