Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean, Host. Identified by the host's self-introduction, the filename supplied with the transcript, the show's recurring self-identification, and Mike Lindell addressing him directly as Bradlee/Bradley.

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell, Guest and Minnesota gubernatorial candidate. Identified by the host's introduction and by the guest's repeated first-person references to his campaign, business background, media disputes, and candidacy.

Speaker 3 - Unidentified Reporter in a prerecorded Seattle news clip. Identified by the questioning voice directed toward the Seattle mayor. The transcript does not provide the reporter's name.

Speaker 4 - Unidentified Seattle Mayor in the prerecorded clip. Identified by the response voice in the clip. The transcript does not state the mayor's name, so no identity has been added from outside sources.

Speaker 5 - Prerecorded Announcer / Promotional Montage Voices. This label groups anonymous prerecorded station, event, fundraising, church, and conference promotional voices where the transcript does not reliably distinguish individual speakers.

Speaker 6 - Tom Raymond, Testimonial Voice. He identifies himself by name and says he is from Tennessee.

Speaker 7 - Alex Newman, Liberty Sentinel Promo Voice. He identifies himself by name within the promotional segment.

Speaker 8 - Leslie [surname unclear], Church Testimonial Voice. She identifies herself by first name, but the automated transcript does not provide a sufficiently reliable surname or Tennessee location.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: "Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded." So naturally, despising the Lord's Word will bring an inverted outcome.

In Mark 7:7-8, we see Jesus counseling against fault when He said, "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men." We can see that those admonitions that the Lord gave the American Christians have been completely ignored today.

Consider, as I lay down this premise, what Alexander Hamilton, a major force and champion of the United States Constitution, stated during the conception of this country: "For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which, without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests."

Also consider Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence, when he said concerning the Constitution, "I am satisfied that it is as much the work of Divine Providence as any of the miracles recorded in the Old and New Testament." So here we see that these men believed our country was established by the divine, and this comes from just two of the fifty-five witnesses from the founding era of this country.

Now let me propose a question to you, if you will. What if you were traveling from point A to point B and did not follow the instructions of a map to get you to your destination? That would be foolish, would it not? Yet this is exactly what politicians and the people of this country today are guilty of allowing, and the obvious result is that the country is way off course.

What if, while playing some sort of game, you failed to follow the rules of that game? How could it be played? Not only that, but now you have allowed the instruction manual to be removed and have allowed others to make up rules outside of its original design and intended purpose. Again, I ask you, how could it be played out properly? How could there be a lawful winner and a loser?

How much more when it comes to our representative and limited government and casting off the Word of God and the U.S. Constitution concerning our lawful rights and freedoms? If we remove the manual, the Word of God, and the founding documents, it will never come to the intended end for which it was designed or purposed, now will it? So it is. We cannot give ourselves to changing the instruction manual and expect a lawful result. This must not happen, and yet, my friends, it has.

Friends, what's at stake here is your God-given freedoms in contrast to the ill designs of man's insidious methods of cunning to enslave. These corrupt men of today have been allowed to take upon themselves a position that belongs only to the Lord and to the original inspired designers. When that authority is replaced, as I believe it currently has been, it only works for those who see fit to use it for their own gain and control over your lives.

Outside of the fact that the Christian church has departed from the authority of Scripture - one faith - it now has over 45,000 denominations worldwide. I believe it is safe to say that they have now given their allegiance over to man in contrast to the Lord's directives found within His instruction manual, His Word. So goes the church, so goes the government.

When it comes to the U.S. Constitution, which is premised on common law as a constitutional republic, man, having allowed the instruction manual of our forefathers to be replaced, has now become a democracy, which now has over 101 unconstitutional parties. The United States Constitution states in Article IV, Section 4, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government."

Here we go: "With one heart and voice, we may prostrate ourselves at the throne of heavenly grace and present to our great Benefactor sincere and unfeigned thanks for His infinite goodness and mercy towards us, from our birth to the present moment; for having, above all things, illuminated us by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, presenting to our view the happy prospect of a blessed immortality; and for our unparalleled ingratitude to the adorable Being who has placed us in a land irradiated by the cheering beams of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, let us fall prostrate before offended Deity, confess sincerely and penitently our manifold sins and our unworthiness of the least of His divine favors, and fervently implore His pardon through the merits of our Mediator, Jesus Christ." Forefather and signer of the Declaration of Independence, Elbridge Gerry.

Speaker 5 - Prerecorded Announcer: The Sons of Liberty is a politically neutral organization. We believe that the Christian ethic has provided the principles on which this nation was founded. It is our belief that these principles provide not only the foundation and framework for American government, but are also essential to the maintenance of a fair and just society. All program content is based on a Christian biblical worldview.

Speaker 5 - Prerecorded Voice: One of you said to me recently, "I want to tell you that I am a boat..." [Final wording unclear.]

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Hello, friends, as well as a few enemies, scoffers, atheists, skeptics, lunatics, weirdos, and assorted bad guys. And, of course, all of you good guys and girls out there, welcome to the Sons of Liberty. You have yours truly, Mr. Bradlee Dean.

Folks, in just a couple of minutes, we're going to pull up gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell with us again. And this time around, friends, ask me - come on, somebody ask me - why is it that you want to have Mike on again? I want to have Mike on again because I see what they're doing to Mike, and I've been in that position several times.

You have the mainstream media attacking and conjuring up stories about you, and it's absolutely wonderful when somebody actually sees through it, takes the time, and asks the person the truth of the matter on the radio so that people can decide for themselves rather than listening to the lies that they're being inundated with by the mainstream media. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to pull him up in just a couple of minutes here.

And, by the way, if anybody wants to put a question to Mike, that number is 281-845-4704. Just have Don at BBS Radio in Texas pull the question up for me so I can read it off. I'm not going to be able to answer the phone call while we have Mike on there, but I can see the questions that you have for him. Again, 281-845-4704.

Folks, I also wanted to let you know, if you want to check us out on social media platforms and you're listening to us from one of the affiliates across the country, that is SonsOfLibertyMedia.com - eight to ten articles from contributors all over the country every day of the week who are in the culture war, bringing about the answers and making reference to the law that condemns the crime, not just merely highlighting the problem without giving you the resolve. Again, SonsOfLibertyMedia.com.

Also go over to SonsOfLibertyRadio.com. That's who we are and what we've been doing for the last 31 years in the state of Minnesota and the United States of America. SonsOfLibertyRadio.com. Subscribe to these pages. Also check us out at BeforeItsNews.com. BeforeItsNews.com as well. And one more time, that call-in number is 281-845-4704.

Folks, if this is the first time listening to SonsOfLibertyRadio.com, do remember that this is the radio show where we think for ourselves and make not others the measure of our conduct. Why is that, friends? Because it is a terrible place to be when your brains are in someone else's head. True that. We follow Christ here. We practice what we preach. We hold the truth in righteousness and not in unrighteousness by saying we don't believe and then acting upon what we say we don't believe in. Now that's hypocrisy, and we're not going to be a part of that lot.

I do want to give you a heads-up. This Friday we're going to be at KHNC 1360 AM, at [10th Street / Parish Avenue - exact address unclear], Johnstown, Colorado, August 14 at 6:30 p.m. Now, what's going to go down? I don't quite know, but what I do know is there's going to be enough room for 150 people. That's it - 150 people. So if you would like to jump in, you better get there a little bit early. Again, it's at the KHNC 1360 AM event. I will be there in Johnstown, Colorado, August 14, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.

Also, friends, we are going to be at the Minnesota State Fair. We just have a lot going on, folks. This is what we should be doing. This is not only talk radio; this is do radio, right? Show me your faith by your works, right? James 2:14-26. That's what we're doing.

We're going to be at the Minnesota State Fair from August 27 to Labor Day, September 7, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I'm just thinking about all the work that's going into this right now. August 27 to Labor Day, September 7, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. And again, with that, we've got much coming. We also are going to be at the Civic Center in Princeton, Minnesota, Saturday, September 19.

I see we've got some phone calls coming up on BBS Radio. I don't know what that's all about, but welcome to the Sons of Liberty. [Brief call-in wording unclear.] Okay, we'll just go ahead and pass on that. I don't know why nobody's picking up the phones down there in Texas. With that said, friends, please call back in about one minute, post your questions, and I'll get to Mike in just a moment as well.

I wanted to show you something here before we get to this. Throughout the show, concerning the time allotted with Mike, what we're going to do is pepper topics. We're going to highlight some of the topics we are having to deal with in this country. One of them is understanding that there is Somali fraud, not just in the state of Minnesota. That's been revealed - Luke 12:2 - but it's also happening in Ohio. We're also seeing the same thing in New York. We've seen the same thing in California. Well, we're starting to see this in Seattle as well.

I want to show you how they're responding, just to show you how brazen they have become in what I believe are crimes against the people of this country. This is a Seattle mayor. She is a lesbian. She's the first lesbian mayor, and what she wants you to know is that she is just refusing, bold-facedly, friends, to answer any of the questions whatsoever.

Speaker 3 - Unidentified Reporter: We have a number of fraud claims either to the Department of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs or SPD. What have you done in those regards?

Speaker 4 - Unidentified Seattle Mayor: So we're working on that. We have conversations going on with the departments. And, yeah, it's just - I mean, I don't think it needs to be explained why it's problematic to have random people showing up to daycares. And, yeah, I think the fear in the Somali community is real. The fear in immigrant communities is real. So we're taking that very seriously.

Speaker 3 - Unidentified Reporter: Along those lines, have you asked anyone to follow up on the fraud claims either to the Department of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs or SPD?

Speaker 4 - Unidentified Seattle Mayor: No.

Speaker 3 - Unidentified Reporter: As far as you're concerned right now, there's no reason to suggest there's any sort of fraud?

Speaker 4 - Unidentified Seattle Mayor: I don't. This whole issue is not really about fraud, right? It's about dividing and conquering. It's about making an immigrant community a target.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Yeah, an immigrant community a target. Like, for example, in the state of Minnesota, it has been about 100 of the individuals who have been busted with this massive fraud taking place in the state here. Ninety-eight of them have been Somalis. So it's an issue of attacking a group of people? This is an issue of dividing and conquering the American people? No, no, no, friends.

The only place that it's dividing and conquering is in the sense of enforcing the law and condemning the wicked and justifying the righteous - the purpose of government, which is found in Deuteronomy 25:1. So this installed individual, this Seattle mayor, is saying that she refuses to investigate Somali fraud because it's the people of America attacking the Somalis.

I want to make it clear so that you might understand, friends - crystal clear - that this is not an attack on the Somalis. This is an issue, as I see it, of Somalis attacking the people of the state of Minnesota, Ohio, New York, California; we're seeing it in Texas as well. So let's put this into perspective and keep it in context. That's one of the things that the mainstream media does not like to do.

We're going to come right back on the other side, and we are going to bring up Mike Lindell with us. Again, SonsOfLibertyRadio.com, SonsOfLibertyMedia.com as well. Mike will be right on the other side with us in just a moment.

Speaker 5 - Content Media Conference Promotional Montage: There are other people like us out here. Wake up, wake up, all filmmakers, actors, podcasters, writers, creators, and every believer in media. You need to be encouraged. Are you ready to get equipped? You need empowerment. I've got the solution for you. Welcome to the Content Media Conference. Welcome to content. God wants to use your content - yes, you - to share the message of Christ. That's why God gave us content.

Speaker 5 - Content Media Conference Promotional Montage: "Content changed my life and solidified my career." Don't take my word for it; listen to them. "I'm feeling the community. I get really overwhelmed." "Content changed my life." "Content is all happening here. I come to these and I'm so interested in these - these are my people. This is where I belong." "You've got funding that opens so many doors. You feel that it's possible to actually be in the filmmaking industry in such a way." [Several testimonial words are unclear.] "I'm worried about my media students having access to production. They need to be working. Even the facility here has been amazing." "Yeah, I think you've made up your mind. I'll see you at [unclear]." ChristianMediaConference.com.

Speaker 5 - Prerecorded Announcer: BBSRadio.com.

Speaker 5 - Sons of Liberty Fundraising Promo: At the Sons of Liberty, we are in the trenches doing what it takes to protect our liberty. If you're already supporting our work as a son or daughter of liberty, we cannot say thank you enough. All we do is made possible by the generosity of faithful supporters like you. Together, we are positively impacting the future of this country that we all appreciate so much. If you've not yet partnered with us financially, we ask you to consider becoming a son or daughter of liberty today. Please call 1-866-233-0747 or go online at SonsOfLibertyRadio.com.

Speaker 5 - Church Promo: Don't have a place to go to church on Sunday? Then come join us at the Sons of Liberty and Bradlee Dean. For many people, finding a home church that preaches the gospel in accordance with Scripture can be difficult. Many churches today have become self-help centers and very humanistic, without pointing people to Christ and the cross that all genuine Christians must bear, just as our Lord did. If you are looking for a church that preaches the truth without compromise from the inherent Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, then look no further than joining us every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Central Time on Sons of Liberty Radio, live on Rumble.

Speaker 6 - Tom Raymond: Hi, my name is Tom Raymond of Tennessee, retired Marine, trooper, and postal worker. My life has always been centered around service to God, family, and country. I've known Bradlee Dean and his family for many years, fully supporting his work with teens especially, his radio and podcasts, including Sunday church, and the SonsOfLiberty.com website chronicling Christian and geopolitical news. I hold Bradlee up in prayer and financially support his mission.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Okay, it looks like we're going to be going here, guys. We've got some phone issues right now, but go ahead and call again, and if you want to leave a message for Mike, go ahead and post it. I will give those questions over to Mike.

So, without further ado, friends, what we're going to do is pull up our friend Mike Lindell, who's running as a gubernatorial candidate in the state of Minnesota. Mike, I just really want to throw something at you really quickly here, if you don't mind. The whole reason I'm pulling you up for the third time is because I see what the mainstream media is doing here. I see how they're trying to put words in your mouth. If that doesn't work, they're conjuring things up.

I've just seen an interview with you and Kendall Qualls with PBS, and I've seen what the said useful idiot was trying to insinuate or imply concerning the things that you're responsible for. So I wanted to pull you up in all fairness because I know exactly what it feels like sitting in that position - not running for the governorship, but for doing the right thing. And those that you expect better of seem, more often than not, to be the very ones who are used to come up against you.

So I'm more than happy to pull you up again, my friend, and I appreciate your efforts. I appreciate you for standing in the middle of the fire, where there are very few who are willing to do so. Welcome.

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: Well, thanks for having me on again.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Absolutely. Mike, one of the things I want to throw at you first and foremost is, again, just coming down to the state of Minnesota and seeing what's going on here, because what I'm seeing is the GOP. They're kind of gathering themselves together against you. Did you expect that was going to be the playbook on their part, or did you think or feel that they were going to embrace you in the process?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: Well, I didn't think they would embrace me. They ignored me, in a sense. When I announced, because I wasn't going to honor the endorsement - their pick - they've been against me since day one. But what's really surprised me here is that, with their endorsement of Kendall Qualls, they haven't gotten behind him.

I talked to Kendall, and they're all behind Lisa Demuth, who, as you know, was involved in what happened up at the convention in Duluth when the voting machines went down. Then they say, "Oh, you can go ahead and break your promise, Lisa, and run anyway." Most of the attacks and everything have come from the Lisa Demuth camp - 99%, I would say - starting with the Star Tribune, the GOP, and chair Alex Plechash. I guess what surprised me is that they're not even behind their own GOP pick.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Do you feel that you're a threat to the establishment that they're propping up? Is that why you suspect they're attacking you in such a way?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: A hundred percent. Lisa was their pick from last November. I think she announced November 2. Right away they said, "We're going to go get the President's endorsement," which I'm going, "How are they going to do that?" I was probably sitting with him at the time. I'm going, "Oh, yeah? We've already talked to him?"

Another thing with the Lisa camp - it's just all establishment. What happened in Duluth was a little miracle there where they didn't end up picking her; the delegates did not. Remember, the GOP endorsement has gone to the establishment candidate since 1994 - 32 years. They haven't won in 24 years. But they are desperate. They are very desperate because they see I'm ahead in all the polls.

They even did this: on Kalshi and Polymarket, the betting lines, somebody put $600,000 on Lisa Demuth yesterday, or late the day before, which flips the betting lines. Then it looks like she's winning in the polls. That's just a gambling market. But then they put it out there like advertising: "Look, Lisa took the lead." No, she didn't. The last poll that came out was KSTP. I was polling number one again. I mean, I've polled number one in every real poll there is.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: So, Mike, you do understand that Lisa Demuth has family relations with media down at the Star Tribune there, do you not? [Exact wording of this claim is unclear in the source transcript.]

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: Yeah. Well, I knew Glenn Taylor was behind her. The Star Tribune - right now I would rate them as the worst paper in the United States. And I can say that because this goes back to when they were the first paper, the first outlet, that attacked me when I first met Donald Trump in August of 2016.

Everybody, I was the media's darling. I was the Star Tribune darling: "Mike, how many more veterans are you hiring? Mike, how many more people are you giving second chances? Mike, while you're helping the homeless here in Minneapolis, while you're helping all the addicts, you're putting millions of dollars into Minneapolis-St. Paul." Then, when they heard that I had met Donald Trump, the media - the Star Tribune - attacked me relentlessly, and they've done so ever since. They've started all these rumors and started all these lies, and that goes from the little pillows to -

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: I want to get to that, but I do want to ask you first and foremost, Mike, just your thoughts concerning what we're talking about right now. Your running opponents - and I'm talking about Lisa Demuth. I don't know anything about her. I do know that we reached out to her. She didn't have the decency to actually respond, and of course it shows you the disconnect between her and her constituents.

But then it goes back to this: She's been there for how many years? And now she's going out to the people of the state of Minnesota, telling the people of Minnesota, "This is what she's going to do, and she's going to fix that, and she's going to fix this." But, Mike, am I right in saying this without a shadow of a doubt in my mind? She's been there for a long time, and she's never taken the time to do it. Well, she's had the time to do it.

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: The best is this one. She said it numerous times: "You know, a year ago, I thought I knew about the fraud, and I said I set up a committee, but the Democrats stopped it from helping." Well, why didn't you tell the rest of us? We had to find out from Nick Shirley, an independent reporter. I'm sorry, Lisa. You should have yelled louder, or either that or you're lying. You're trying to act like you did something.

And then, interestingly enough, this same Lisa Demuth, when Nick Shirley came to Minneapolis and found all that fraud, Lisa right away put out a post that, yes, "I was behind working with Nick Shirley." And Nick said, "I don't even know who you are, lady." This is politics at its best. Lisa - the stuff she's done or hasn't done - it's usually what they don't do. I mean, just because you have an R by your name, Lisa, we've had it in Minnesota.

People are moving out. A hundred thousand people have left Minnesota under Governor Walz - 100,000 - because they can't afford to live here anymore. Not only do we have the highest tax, or one of the highest taxes in the nation, we've got fraud being shipped off to Somalia under Lisa's watch. You're not calling out our attorney general or governor, and you're the head of the Republican Party. You're a chair.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Yeah. I can actually add to that, my friend. It's interesting because I was the one that rallied up the representatives in the state of Minnesota and got them to draw out the articles of impeachment, not just with Walz but also Ellison. Guess who impeded the way for impeachment and prosecution concerning the process? It was the Republicans who put a stop to it. So this is what people need to know in the state of Minnesota.

I got one more question for you concerning the first segment that we have here. KSTP just did a SurveyUSA poll. This is the headline: "Demuth in striking distance of Lindell, Craig up in key demographic." What's interesting is it's shrouded with confusion, because when you go on to see, okay, what do you mean you're close? You're at striking distance? It doesn't give any definition to that. It just throws more questions up in the air rather than solidifying the answers and the truth of the matter when it comes to polling.

And then what it starts to talk about here, Mike - by the way, it doesn't even bring up Qualls' name. It's just you and her now. What's interesting about it is it just jumps on you and her, but it says nothing to answer the headline. What are the polls right now? What are they?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: On that particular poll, I'm up by seven. I was ahead in every age group. What did change is the 65-and-older group. There was a 65-and-older group where she actually took the lead a little bit. But that group, everybody - this last weekend I sent out two million texts, emails, and social-media posts to that group. There were a lot of questions they had and a lot of concerns from the lies coming out of the Star Tribune that I believe moved that section to Lisa's camp. And so we're just basically getting the truth out now, and we're getting them back.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Well, that's what I want to do on the other side of this hard break, which is coming up on us momentarily. I want to dispel some of those lies. And then, if I have you for another segment after that, I'll just give you a free-for-all, Mike. But again, I wanted to pull you up on the show today and give you the opportunity to tell the people the truth of the matter and dispel the lies that are being thrown at you from the mainstream media.

Quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of it. The 5.9 million people in the state might say they're sick and tired of it, but for some reason or another, when they're lied to, they sit there and say, "Well, what's the truth?" Well, why don't you ask the person who's actually being accused in the lie? Once again, because quite frankly I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, my friend. I truly am.

So we'll get back to asking you some of those questions in just a moment here. I'm getting a little bit of a delay, but I know it's going to be picking up. There it is right there. We're talking with gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell right now, folks. If you've got any questions, go ahead and call 281-845-4704. Have Texas post the question so I can propose it to Mike himself. Okay, we'll be right back in just a moment. We'll be right back.

Speaker 5 - Prerecorded Historical Quote Segment: George Washington said, "If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the slaughter." Benjamin Franklin followed suit when he said, "Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government. When this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates." He continues and says, "Freedom of speech is the great bulwark of liberty. They prosper and die together, and it is the terror of traitors and oppressors, and a barrier against them."

Speaker 5 - Prerecorded Historical Quote Segment: "I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that 'except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.' I firmly believe this, and I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel." Benjamin Franklin.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Welcome back again to the Sons of Liberty. I see your question up there, Barbara from Georgia. Just keep it posted for me, and I will ask it when I get a moment. Friends, if you are joining us, we are talking to our friend Mike Lindell, running for the gubernatorial candidacy in the state of Minnesota. The media is doing what the media does.

Folks, I just want to say this: If you are putting into question the truth of the matter, I want you to understand that's why I tell you they know how to lie better than most people know how to tell the truth. That's why I say at the beginning of the show, it's a terrible place to be when your brains are in someone else's head. Eighty-one percent of you say you don't believe the mainstream media until they promulgate another lie. You've got to stop and think about the fact of the matter. That's why we brought Mike back up. I'm going to pull him back up even now.

Mike, let's get to this. I've got you for another segment, hopefully another segment and a half. I do want to ask you a question concerning one of the things that you just brought up a couple of moments ago about the pillows. Now you're in trouble for throwing pillows out to your constituents, and a judge steps up to the plate and starts to say what you did was illegal. Help me understand this one, please.

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: Yeah, these are little pillows, these GoAnywhere pillows. Here in Minnesota, you can be under $5. They're $4.90. We went to the commission. We dotted the i's, crossed the t's, and had our lawyers look at it in June. We threw them out at numerous parades.

Then, of course, our own - I believe it was our own GOP or whatever - somebody brought it out. This is all an attack from somebody's camp. They said this could be a campaign violation. We get before a judge, and all the judge said was it could be. So it's going to go to a panel.

Here's the bottom line, everybody. The worst-case scenario, even if it was a campaign violation - but it's not - they said the pillows were $34.95. That was the biggest lie ever told. Anybody can get these if they buy the quantity that we bought for $4.90. And when I reached out to the commission, I said even Amy Klobuchar could buy them for that.

Anyway, the most you could get is a $5,000 fine. It has nothing to do with whether you can run or not or whether you can be governor of the state of Minnesota. So what they tried to twist this into was, you know, "Mike violated a campaign rule. Boy, this is going to go to court. This could be something really big." Are you kidding me? This is disgusting.

You have koozies for cans. You have T-shirts, everything. They've been doing it forever. Frisbees - you name it - have been given out at these parades. What they're doing to attack me is just to put doubt in people's heads. In fact, the headlines were, you know, if this is a campaign violation, the Democrats are going to come out and say, "He might not even be eligible. He might be off the ballot." I mean, this is the narrative they're putting out. You see what I'm saying? It's a joke.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Yeah, yeah. It's the establishment. Those that are propping up the establishment are afraid of someone outside of the establishment coming in and pulling down all their little blocks that they put up. That's exactly what's transpiring right in front of our faces, and I've seen it for a long time. So this is nothing new.

Mike, one of the lies that was perpetrated against you was the amnesty issue, where they had put words in your mouth. Can you explain what they said that you said and then explain and share with the people what you actually said?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: The amnesty thing came from the Washington Examiner on a day I was heading to an event here in Minnesota to speak. What was talked about to them was, hey, we have 54,000 illegals in Minnesota that Walz gave these ID cards to. Then we also have employers that are employing these illegals to the tune of cheating us out of $1.5 billion a year as taxpayers in Minnesota. And then we have 1,400 illegals costing us $159,000 a year per illegal, so it's about $170 million a year it's costing us.

This was talked about to the Washington Examiner. What I said was, you know, we could take six months, maybe, and bring these guys in to be fingerprinted so we know who they were and get them in the system. That's what I said. There was no amnesty. We already had these 54,000. He gave these ID cards for it.

I was saying cooperate with ICE and have them come and pick up the ones that are in our prisons, like other states have done, so you don't have to go door to door like what happened in Minneapolis with the tragedies, right? Anyway, that being said, they grabbed the six-month thing, and the headline in the Washington Examiner was, "Mike Lindell wants amnesty," or something about amnesty.

Now, here was a mistake that most people don't know. I'm going on that stage. My social-media gal put up something like "Six-month amnesty?" with a question mark, like it was sarcasm, and "Find the truth here," right, to go to my plan on my website, where we're going to get rid of 1,400 of them immediately. By putting up this meme with the question mark, your mind didn't really see the question mark, and it just kind of confirmed to people, "Well, Mike really does want amnesty."

It was a dumb mistake on our social-media gal's part by putting "Six-month amnesty? See the truth here." You couldn't ask for a bigger mistake. I got off the stage where I was in Minnesota, and I looked at it, going, "You know what? You can't even see the question mark," and I deleted it immediately. I'm not for amnesty. I've never been for amnesty, and I never will be for amnesty.

You're talking about a guy who went to the inner cities of Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, all these places, and talked to legal citizens there and said, "What's your biggest problem you have with the Democrats?" And they go, "Because the illegals are taking all our resources, including our jobs." Yeah. So I'm going to be protecting the jobs here in Minnesota. I'm going to make these employers that are hiring them - they're going to go to jail, and they're going to lose their business.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: I believe when you say stuff like that, Mike - I'm just projecting, but that's my vernacular as well - when you look for justice, which guards our liberties, that scares the establishment because they're both sides. It's a uniparty system where they're both a part of the problem in the first place. So they know this includes them if Mike does get into office.

Again, another question. Let's segue, or piggyback, right out of that last point that you made concerning amnesty. Now, where does that play a part when it comes to residency in the state of Minnesota?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: They went after me. They went after me for not being a resident in Minnesota. You have to be a resident a year before the general election, which is coming up in November. I turned this in to the Minnesota GOP last December.

When I came here, the first day was August 10, 2025. That's when I switched my paychecks over to pay Minnesota taxes - our very high income tax here, which I want to get rid of. So I could have waited six more months, but I'm coming here. I'm going to reside here. I'm going to pay it and start early. So I started August 10.

Then, in September of 2025, I went and got my license right here in Chaska, Minnesota, and I registered to vote that day - both of them. I had to show my passport, my residence, my pay stubs, all of these things, a utility bill. Then the Star Tribune, the worst paper in the United States, came out with an article that I wasn't registered to vote here.

I sent and proved that I was registered and I am a resident here, and they didn't apologize. They doubled down. They doubled down along with our party here. Here's what they said: Alex Plechash has sent a letter to the Secretary of State. "You know, there's questions surrounding Mike Lindell's residency here in Minnesota. Everybody, he might not be able to - if he wins this primary, the Democrats might discredit him. Your vote will be wasted because Mike might not be eligible to run."

The sickest narrative ever put out. I was more okay with the ones where they took things out of my book and said I had committed these crimes, but they left the one part out of the book that I happened to be in a jail in Las Vegas back in the day, so I couldn't have done the crime. They didn't put that part of my book out, right?

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Have you thought of lawfully retaliating concerning what they're doing here? Defamation, malicious intent - the list goes on.

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens tomorrow night at the primary. You know, what they're doing - these lies, the Minneapolis Star Tribune and what they've done - I'm not going to let them off the hook. I'm going to put it that way.

If they're doing that to me now, think what they're going to do to me in the end. They say, "Well, Lisa Demuth ties to Glenn Taylor." Whoever said Glenn Taylor is not part of the uniparty and part of this horrible establishment? He could care less if it's a Democrat. You read his paper. It's the most communist paper in the whole country.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Yeah, because the Red Star.

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: Yeah. There's none worse than the Minneapolis Star Tribune, everybody. And, you know, they're failing. Obviously they're failing, but people still read the garbage every day - garbage in, garbage out - and it's right from Glenn Taylor. They'll tell you it's the Communist Star. It's exactly what the people in the state of Minnesota say, and yet you see it in their hands while they're reading it. Then they're complaining about how they're being lied to, but they're the ones supporting those who are doing the lying. So, yeah, it's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: What is your prediction for tomorrow, and do I have you for one more segment?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: Yeah, sure. I mean, for one more segment, there's no problem there. Tomorrow we're having a watch party. It'll be livestreamed on LindellTV.com. Bradlee, I don't know where you're at, but you're welcome to come. We've invited media from everywhere. We're going to have about - I guess it's going to be downtown, everybody - downtown Minneapolis.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Yeah, I don't know how that would work out because I'm a lightning rod myself, my friend. I was doing a lot of high schools in the state of Minnesota, and much of what they're doing to you right now is exactly what they were doing to us, [unclear phrase]. I'll tell you what, that's a different story. That's over a cup of coffee.

But I do have some questions I want to ask you on the other side. Let's get on the offensive concerning what you intend to do if you do become the governor. I have some questions for you up on the board right now. I've got some down here as well, live chat asking questions and so on and so forth.

So, folks, what we're going to do is take a quick break. We're talking with Mike Lindell. He's running for the gubernatorial candidacy in the state of Minnesota, and folks, they're attempting to do their best to kick him to the rails, friends, in so many different ways by proposing lies to the people in the state. How do I know? Because they did it to me, friends. We'll be right back. SonsOfLibertyRadio.com. SonsOfLibertyMedia.com. Again, we'll be right back.

Speaker 5 - Church Promo: Don't have a place to go to church on Sunday? Then come join us at the Sons of Liberty and Bradlee Dean. For many people, finding a home church that preaches the gospel in accordance with Scripture can be difficult. Many churches today have become self-help centers and very humanistic, without pointing people to Christ and the cross that all genuine Christians must bear, just as our Lord did.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean, Off-Mic Production Aside: "Okay, is this a little [unclear]?"

Speaker 5 - Church Promo: If you are looking for a church that preaches the truth without compromise from the inherent Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, then look no further than joining us every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Central Time on Sons of Liberty Radio, live on Rumble.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean, Off-Mic Production Aside: "Okay, send me a pop, that'd be great. Thank you."

Speaker 8 - Leslie [surname unclear]: I'm Leslie [surname unclear], and I live in [location unclear], Tennessee. I've been in church my entire life, and I feel like the church has changed, but God's Word has not changed. The church service that Bradlee Dean leads every Sunday morning is a breath of fresh air. He teaches the entire Bible, and his teaching from God's Word magnifies the Lord Jesus Christ.

Each Sunday, my husband and I look forward to the church service because Bradlee honors Jesus by speaking truth that all of us need to hear. I don't want to be entertained; I need to hear the truth of God's Word. I'm so grateful and thankful to be part of the church family. Bradlee's message through the Holy Spirit leads me to my Savior, Jesus Christ, and there's no better place to be. Thank you, Bradlee, for answering God's call to lead the church service so that people will hear the truth that is so desperately needed today.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean, Off-Mic Production Aside: "You should have it on my phone. Where's my phone? Where's my phone?"

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: And welcome back again to SonsOfLibertyRadio.com, SonsOfLibertyMedia.com. Social-media platforms are there on the left side of the screen. Also BeforeItsNews.com, top left side of that page.

We're talking to Mike Lindell, and I already see people taking shots. That's okay. People want me to pull up Mike and beat him up - you know, invite him into my living room and beat him up on the radio. We're not doing that, friends. Let's just hear the tough questions. Oh, I'll give them to you. "MAGA continues. The grift continues." Whoa, whoa. That's one that's coming at you right now.

Do you think that the Trump endorsement is helping you or hurting you?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: It's helping huge. Basically, he re-endorsed me, and we're sending out, over the last couple of days, millions of text messages. I actually have his endorsement. I just reposted the new one that he did. He did it at an event we ran in Bedminster [location wording should be verified].

Remember, everybody, when I got his endorsement, it jumped about 10, 15 points. Absolutely it helps, and where it's going to help is in a couple of different ways. One is to get people out to vote. Almost 450,000 people who voted in the 2020 election and the 2024 election did not vote in the 2022 election. We reached out to those President supporters, Donald Trump supporters, to get out and vote for me and get the vote in. This is very important.

Now, when you get to the general election, obviously we need to get everybody behind us here, but also I will be doing my own campaign with the common-sense solutions that I already put on my website that are going to help all people.

I did a thing, Bradlee, a few years ago with the President when we were campaigning. I made a commercial, and it was to flip Democrats. This guy goes, "Mike, do you know how much it costs per person to flip a Democrat?" I said, "I could care less. If I make a commercial strong enough to flip a Democrat, the independents you can blow over with a feather." This is my whole campaign. I know marketing. And, yes, to answer your question, of course President Trump's endorsement helps.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Okay. I wanted to throw something at you with that, because when I look at that whole scenario, Mike, with Trump backing all of this, are there any strings attached? People always want to know: Are there handlers? Is there someone behind you pulling strings? People are always going to suspect that and ask the question. So can you answer that? Are there any strings attached to the endorsement?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: The President endorsed me with absolutely no strings attached, everybody. When I told him I was going to run on December 8, 2025, I called him up. He takes my calls. This will be a big advantage, having a friendship with the President of the United States to help run our state, and also having access to governors who are really good friends of mine. You can ask, "Hey, have you ever had a problem like this?"

As far as the endorsement, I didn't ask him for his endorsement in December. I wanted it to be based on merit, not on our friendship. When he endorsed me, I was totally surprised. It was maybe three or four weeks ago, or a month ago now. I was here at my office, and I was getting texts from people going, "Hey, did you see the President just endorsed you?"

His endorsement, what you've seen out there, everybody, went on Truth Social. Also, if you go to our website, when we had a fundraiser, which was already scheduled before he endorsed me, in Bedminster [location wording should be verified], you'll see that's as much as I have seen or talked to him since that. There's no, "I'm going to endorse you if you do this or this." Absolutely not.

He knows, by the way - do we agree on everything? No. But that's why he and I became such good friends, talking back and forth with different stuff over the last five years - more than that, I guess. He'll ask me for my perspective.

Really, the first time Donald Trump ever invited me to meet him, in the summer of 2016, he invited me because he wanted to know how it was making stuff in the USA. Is it working? He wanted to get my view on it as an entrepreneur from Minnesota and an ex-addict [the final words of this phrase are unclear in the source]. So, to answer the question, no, there are no strings.

Anyone that says, like, "grift" or anything like that, I think I've proved otherwise. I spent $80 million trying to secure elections in this country. I'll never back down. I don't back down to anyone or any person. And I only have one fear, and that's fear of the Lord.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Amen. Amen. Proverbs 16:6, departing from iniquity. With that, let me just go back and ask my question. So with Trump, when it comes to that, is there any weight coming from him in the sense of helping you establish what you mean to establish here? Or is he working in favor of you rather than, as people might suspect, dictating to you? As I initially proposed in the question, are there any strings attached? In other words, is he calling you and asking what you would do rather than the other way around, where people would suspect that's what's going on?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: Oh, no, no. It's both ways. When I go meet him in D.C., it's like, "Here are things that I believe you should do or that would help all people." One thing I brought him was the employee retention credits. He solved that problem when I brought it to him nationwide, like in one day.

I'm able to bring him our concerns from Minnesota. It's not the other way around. He might say to me, "What do you think the people are thinking?" This was back before he was President again, when he kept getting attacked and attacked. I said, "Sir, they've seen through the media now." And I said, "God uses all things for good for those who believe."

As they keep attacking you, sir, and they do these things in Minnesota - all this craziness we have here in Minnesota, like [unclear phrase] and changing genders in school - people are seeing through it, going, "This is the easiest stuff ever brought forward." It's criminal. It's felonious activity, is what it is.

But the way I see this working when I'm in there as governor is I'll be able to have the President of the United States one phone call away: "Wait a minute, we've got problems here." One of the things we face right now in Minnesota is maybe they cut off all the welfare programs. I was in northern Minnesota, up in Two Harbors and up by Duluth. There are people there who are missing out on these programs now because of what's happened down here with Somalia and all the fraud.

That'll be a call for me saying, "Hey, some of these programs that I went and looked at are really good. We need to continue them and not wreck them, and not blame these people for what's happening within Minneapolis and with these other programs." That's something that can be turnkey, I believe - saying, "Hey, we need to restart these and let this money come in."

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Okay, I've got another one for you. I actually want to ask you two questions here. Barbara from Georgia is asking the question: What do you feel about the data centers and the surveillance cameras that people are protesting nationwide?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: I've got to look into a lot more of that, but I'm against them right now. Totally against them, unless somebody can tell me different. That's all I've heard is negative, negative, negative, negative. But as governor, I would be very transparent with everyone. If there is any reason why there is some good there, or something that would make sense, I would let the people in Minnesota know: "Hey, we have this part too." But I don't see it right now.

I see it just like I saw when those windmills first came in. I'm so against the windmills. I was, back 30 years ago. I said, "These are disgusting." You get things like this that just destroy our landscape and environment, and now they see this with the water and stuff. They're incentivized, you know, and the government is paying them money to survive, is really what's going on with that. Then they accept it, and then it destroys the terrain, you know, so on and so forth.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Mike, one more question here. People - I'm seeing more than not - want justice. What do you see happening if you become the governor with the Walz fraud, the Ellison fraud, and [several names/phrases unclear in the source]? What do you see if you become the governor? What is it that you would do as far as bringing justice to ensure that it would never happen again?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: Well, first of all, I'm going after them head-to-head. If you guys go to LindellGov.com, you can find we had a two-year investigation involving Steve Simon and the Attorney General. And at that time - if you look up right now Keith Ellison and Steve Simon - [a short phrase concerning alleged election fraud/criminal activity is garbled in the source]. So you can check that out.

But as far as altogether, we're going after them for the fraud. Keith Ellison, Walz, Ilhan Omar - anyone that's been involved - we're not letting them off the hook. And I don't believe they're being let off the hook right now. I mean, there's a lot of stuff going on. Remember, Keith Ellison attacked my Lindell Recovery Network for the last two and a half years. I'm well versed in fighting these guys, but they will go to prison under my watch if they were part of it, which we all believe they were.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Amen. Okay, so I've got about 15 seconds here. How can people get behind you and support you? What's your website?

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: LindellGov.com. Please go there and support us. But what you can do these next two days here is share. Go to any social media and just share everything we're putting out, because we're pouring the information out right now.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Okay, amen. I appreciate you, my friend. Good luck in your endeavors, and we'll see what happens in the next couple of days. Hopefully we'll have you on again, and we'll be talking to the governor of the state.

Speaker 2 - Mike Lindell: All right. Thanks, Bradlee.

Speaker 1 - Bradlee Dean: Thank you, my friend. Yep. Folks, love you. Bye. We will talk to you in 23. See you.
