Summary
On this episode, Andrew hosts independent and Forward Party candidate for governor of Minnesota, Mike Newcome. Mike argues that both major parties have failed ordinary citizens through corruption, mismanagement, and polarization. He highlights issues like the $250 million COVID-era fraud scandal and the divisive response to ICE raids, calling for “common-sense leadership” that prioritizes solutions over partisanship.
