Episode 4152 │ June 20, 2026Mike Lindell is polling five points ahead in Minnesota without a Trump endorsement. The machines failed at the convention. He says that's the point.WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERSScott Kesterson sits down with Mike Lindell for a full campaign update — and the headline is an ABC-affiliated KSTP poll showing Lindell leading the Minnesota Republican primary at 27% against Lisa Damuth at 22%, without a presidential endorsement and despite being denied the delegate list, barred from most pre-convention forums, and publicly tagged as a "qualified with reservations" candidate by the Minnesota GOP establishment. Lindell walks through his ground operation — 67 senate district ambassadors, 1000s of yard signs being hand-delivered across the state, town halls and rallies running daily — and explains why social media reach of 9 million followers and 12 million email contacts have replaced the old TV ad model that kept establishment candidates funded and insulated. The conversation moves through the Minnesota GOP convention machine failure, the logic of withholding Trump's endorsement until after Lindell proves his merit with the people, a detailed plan for addressing homelessness through sorting — addiction treatment via Teen Challenge, mental health institutions, and jobs for the economically displaced — and the systematic suppression of election fraud evidence that Lindell argues both parties have participated in for years.KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSEDHow is Lindell polling number one in Minnesota without a Trump endorsement, a delegate list, or access to most GOP forums — and what does the KSTP ABC poll result mean for the August 11 primary?What happened when the electronic clicker voting machines failed for three hours at the Duluth convention at the exact moment Lisa Damuth was losing — and why did the GOP then allow her to break the endorsement pledge she had made?What is Lindell's three-category plan for homelessness — and why does he argue that faith-based addiction treatment, restored mental health institutions, and city-funded jobs are the only approaches with a real return on investment?ABOUT BARDSFMBardsFM is a daily independent podcast covering faith, liberty, history, and information warfare.
