From Citizen to Candidate: The Conservative Journey of Rachel Davis and the Fight for Constitutional Principles

      Ever wondered what sparks the transformation of an everyday individual into a political force to be reckoned with? Rachel Davis, a prominent conservative voice from Minnesota, pulls back the curtain on her evolution from a concerned citizen to a formidable candidate. Her unwavering commitment to constitutional values and professional background in the ammunition industry offer a unique perspective on the Second Amendment and the interplay between culture and advocacy, as highlighted by her encounter with the rock legend and gun rights proponent, Ted Nugent.

Navigating the intricate landscape of modern politics, Rachel and I dissect the complex task of constitutional interpretation and the art of maintaining a balanced approach to governance. With an emphasis on the Constitution's enduring relevance, we address the challenges of legislative compromises and the influence of educational and media narratives on America's youth. In a political climate that craves genuine representation, our conversation underscores the indispensable strategy of securing a majority without compromising the nation's founding principles.

Wrapping up our discussion, we explore the compelling realm of political engagement. From the high-stakes debates surrounding Second Amendment rights, to the ins and outs of fiscal responsibility, Rachel's personal journey in her bid for office exemplifies the profound power of grassroots movements. The potency of door-to-door campaigning and the strength of community connections are revealed as key to fostering change. Tune in as we share how these touchpoints have the potential to unite people and address the pressing issues at the heart of our society. Join the discourse and discover the conservative perspective on the pivotal topics shaping our nation's future.

So let's get started. Buy and a gun is no ordinary purchase. Whether you're a hunter, competitive shooter or self defense is your priority. There are many kinds of guns and many kinds of training programs. You use your brain all the time. You will rarely need to use your gun before you find yourself in a situation where you you need to make a critical decision to make sure your training is the best you can get. It could be the difference between life and death, or freedom or detention. For the best quality training, check out permitto carryus.

Speaker 2: 2:54

Welcome back to Hot Gas, rachel Davis in the studio today. She is going to talk about her ways and means of trying to make this happen to be a better place in Minnesota. Right now. We've got some pretty wild wild ideas, and one of the latest controversies is the Minnesota flag, which I've personally chimed in on a little bit here, and sometimes you just can't make this up, but it's common sense isn't common enough, rachel, how you doing.

Speaker 1: 3:19

I'm doing great. Thank you for asking.

Speaker 2: 3:22

Now you got an uphill battle here coming up. It's quite a huge thing to take an unlogic guy from seeds who has been there for a long time and sometimes he needs fresh blood Talk to me about what's going on.

Speaker 1: 3:36

Well, I noticed way back in 2016, when Trump decided he was going to run, that when I got involved I wanted to contact my local legislator and I didn't get a return phone call. So I thought, well, our state must be hurting if my local legislator won't give me a call back. And I got involved, I became a delegate and I noticed that, yeah, I'm kind of stuck there, yeah.

Speaker 2: 4:09

So when he didn't return your call, you felt that was a call to action, a call to arms or less.

Speaker 1: 4:15

Well, that's correct. I was hoping to have a conversation to see what I could do to help out so that I could serve my community, and I couldn't even get a call back from my local legislator, so I thought the Republican party was hurting and I like to be helpful, so I don't know. I was pretty disappointed in Kurt at that time and I thought, well, why not run against him then?

Speaker 2: 4:43

Yeah, he probably got his attention. Now I don't know.

Speaker 1: 4:46

Yeah, we had coffee a while back. I let him know that I was running against him and it was a good conversation. He's really informed on everything and he says all the right things. However, he doesn't do the right things, he just says the right things.

Speaker 2: 5:03

Yeah, you know sometimes it's tough to beat a polished politician, but you know you got to keep moving forward no matter what. So what did you find was most disturbing about his and this ain't about him? I don't want to make this a him thing, this is a you thing, but we have to put some face to this. Let the people know what your mental currency was, so that you can hey, this is what I think we should be doing.

Speaker 1: 5:27

Well, for starters, we need to stop getting away from the Constitution and get back to it. I believe back in 2015, he blocked the stand your ground laws from coming to the floor and he promised to bring them back to the floor for a vote in 2016. However, he decided with the moderates who were afraid of guns and I think that him wanting to get away from the Second Amendment is a huge red flag and I thought, yeah, I thought it was more cowardly that he wouldn't stand by more of a conservative.

Speaker 2: 6:10

Now is he a gun user.

Speaker 1: 6:13

He says he is.

Speaker 2: 6:15

Everybody's got that picture of them with a rifle or a pistol or a gun or whatever. Even Walz did that one. But I think you have some more merit than it, because you are a manufacturer of what ammo?

Speaker 1: 6:25

I am. I work in Shot Shell at Federal Cartridge off of Main Street in Anoka and I love it there. I work a lot.

Speaker 2: 6:34

Yeah, you have a hundred year anniversary. It was just happened, if I remember it.

Speaker 1: 6:38

Yeah, we had Ted Nugent come out. We had a big concert and big dinner. We got to invite some people. It was really fun.

Speaker 2: 6:47

The nudge huh yeah. Did you meet him?

Speaker 1: 6:51

No, I was right next to the stage.

Speaker 2: 6:53

I got to see him dance around and it was nice, you got to be a groupie.

Speaker 1: 6:58

Yeah, it was really fun. It was really. It was a good night yeah.

Speaker 2: 7:04

I've reached out a couple of times to put on a hot cash here and he just he responded, but he was like you know. I think he's had enough to say what he had to say.

Speaker 1: 7:12

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 7:13

Well, I know he's a huge second amendment guy and if anybody knows him, him and Shermane are all about hunting fishing. Second amendment rights.

Speaker 1: 7:21

First, you know they're very constitutionalists and you're trying to get back to that grassroots feels when I'm getting yes, I think the voice of the people is lost and I think that our politicians, locally and nationally, are ignoring what people are saying and they're doing whatever they want, and I believe that we as a people can join together and kick them out and get elected and show them how it really should be in our country. Yeah, that's what I really strongly feel that way, and I think that if we can recruit enough people, that it shouldn't be that difficult. We just have to get people activated.

Speaker 2: 8:02

Right and the left always kind of seems to get the best of us, because the right is always sitting on their hands and working and being too busy to protest to. They just don't do it. It's a known fact that the right doesn't. They engage, they just. So how do you feel about the fact that now we're behind the eight ball is the right side or the neutral side, the right neutral, the common sense side? And we got to play catch up because they're changing our flags, they're changing our statues, they're changing, they're changing a lot.

Speaker 1: 8:35

We have to start by putting a stop to all that. I believe that we bend over backward for the other side because we don't want to offend them. And why are we not wanting to offend them when it's the right thing? If you believe in God, you don't just walk around and act like you don't believe in God. You present yourself in a way that would say, hey, I have good standards, I have integrity. If I say something, I'm going to do it, I'm going to follow through.

Speaker 1: 9:10

And here we have legislators in office who don't do any of those things. They would rather get along with people that they don't agree with at all, and I think that we need to put a stop to compromising. I think that we need to pull them our way and say, no, this is how it's going to be. And I don't feel that we have anybody in office well, maybe a few. We do have some really awesome people but I just feel that, yeah, I think that we can win more if we start saying, no, you can't have this bill, we need to go our way. And when we were in the majority, we sided more with the moderates and then we ultimately made deals with the Democrats, and I don't think that that was a good idea at all. It's gone completely the other way and we need to be Republicans and we need to stand our ground and get them to see our way and yeah.

Speaker 2: 10:10

Well, the biggest thing about politics is politics is a combined effort between two groups not just left, right, it could be middles or it could be all kinds of groups to come to a compromise, to create a solution. And I do believe that a lot of people have missed that in the world and they get jaded to one side. Now, just because there's a D next to your name or an R or an I for independent doesn't mean you should pick a side and say no matter what, if you don't have an I or a D or an R, you're no longer. You're not credible. And I believe that the Democratic Party has two parties. They have the Democratic Party and the Socialist Democratic Party, but I don't think a lot of them know this yet. So you, as a future budding policymaker in the state of Minnesota, they are going to have to realize and recognize what and why and how you're going to be able to navigate those waters. Do you feel that's accurate?

Speaker 1: 11:08

Yeah, I do feel that if we stick with the Constitution, it opens things up for freedom. People can think the way that they want to and speak the way that they want to, and it gives freedom to both sides. That's why I think that standing firm on the Constitution and our foundation of our country is really what we need, instead of going too far left and too far right. I think that the neutral ground would be sticking with the Constitution and where we all started.

Speaker 2: 11:43

A lot of people feel that the Constitution is a living, breathing document to be changed and altered at its will. How do you feel about that?

Speaker 1: 11:50

I do agree that we sometimes it needs to be altered a little less. Well, you know, I think that everybody's voice does matter and I think that there is. I think that everybody exists within the Constitution with it. I believe that the Constitution gives us the freedom that we need to be free, and that means that everybody can be exactly who they want to be within certain limits, as long as they're not hurting somebody else.

Speaker 2: 12:25

Isn't that something how the people that scream the loudest about equal and fair Constitution are the ones trying to abolish it?

Speaker 1: 12:33

Yes, that is funny.

Speaker 2: 12:35

It's a moment of.

Speaker 1: 12:36

Hmm, yes, that reminds me of the song from the 90s.

Speaker 2: 12:42

Which one? The things that make you go. Hmm, you know, I remember that long ago. Yeah, I'm that old. Okay, I'm going to give you, for instance and this is not the sand trap you hear, this is just a common sense that's going to happen when you're in that position. If you win that position, you have to pass a bill that you're really passionate about. You need the votes on both sides of the aisle, but yet the people that you need the votes from are passionate about whatever their subject is, and if you don't vote their way, they're not going to vote your way, and neither one of you win. What do you do in a no-win situation?

Speaker 1: 13:20

I think that it's all about phrasing. I think I believe that we can always come to a compromise and it should be more freedom and I just think that the left side has been somewhat of a bully and I think that if we show them how they really are, because maybe they're in denial of everything, hopefully they are.

Speaker 2: 13:52

You think to come to self-realization.

Speaker 1: 13:54

I hope so.

Speaker 2: 13:54

That they'll self-correct.

Speaker 1: 13:57

I'm hoping that when I was watching the floor debates on the abortion law that they were passing.

Speaker 2: 14:07

When Scott Jensen was up on that. So what's the one you want on?

Speaker 1: 14:11

It was just on the floor with the legislators. And I noticed that a lot of the Democrats that were trying to pass these just outrageous things inside of the bill and they were shaking Almost like they were standing firm on what they wanted to do. However, I noticed their, their composure, I noticed their faces and I noticed that they were unsure about what they were doing. And I think it starts right there. Them second guessing what they're doing and knowing that it's wrong.

Speaker 2: 14:45

But doing it anyway.

Speaker 1: 14:46

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 14:46

So you were reading their body language.

Speaker 1: 14:48

Oh, absolutely, it's. The best way to communicate is to see people. For what? For?

Speaker 2: 14:53

sure, I do it all the time. You can say one thing and in total opposite, I'm reading something different.

Speaker 1: 14:58

And.

Speaker 2: 14:59

I follow my gut every time.

Speaker 1: 15:00

Yeah, me too.

Speaker 2: 15:04

So you're going to say compromise, but there's no compromise, there's no in-situation, you don't vote for their. I want to put purple hair in schools and cat litter box so they can use bathrooms in public schools, and I won't support. Sure, hey, you get the freedom to bear arms. How would you do that in the future?

Speaker 1: 15:27

Well, I think that they are trying to change what common sense is. So I think that hitting the educational centers, the children, is key. That's what they're doing. So let's fight back and start there.

Speaker 2: 15:42

Would you feel that the other side is indoctrinating our children?

Speaker 1: 15:49

Oh yeah, I think it's been going on for a long time.

Speaker 2: 15:51

Yes, it has, and you're in the company here. So I'm just playing devils advocate, because I have Dems, I have rubs, I have independence, I have Muslims, I have all kinds of people listening to the show, and it doesn't matter what part of the world you're in, whatever faction you're associated with. You just can't replace common sense.

Speaker 1: 16:12

Well, you would think they're trying to change common sense. Common sense to me and you is different than it is today, and it always changes because teenagers have a new way of thinking. So it's definitely indoctrination, and they put it in schools, they put it in media, they put it in our songs and the children's artists that listen to the music. It's everywhere. I mean it's pretty difficult to raise a sound mind if we are constantly indoctrinating our children with nonsense.

Speaker 2: 16:50

Yes, yes. So now you've pretty much covered a lot of what the people are going to know about you just by that little sentence right there. What's the first thing you want to change if you win I mean, if it's provided, you have the ability to change and again, you're just one vote amongst many.

Speaker 1: 17:09

I believe that it would be good to go back to the grassroots and have the people's voices heard and to actually represent what they want and prove it. Prove it by voting the way that they want you to vote.

Speaker 2: 17:25

Okay, but now we get back to our first conversation, where, if you vote this, I won't vote your help, if you don't vote my help to a dem. That's a tough one, isn't it?

Speaker 1: 17:35

No, I think that we want to make it tough, it's not. I think that we should get the house back and we become the majority and then we start changing things, not because I don't believe in compromising, but I believe in the Constitution and that's what our, our country is founded on. Is the common sense back then? Is different from now. I think that I believe. Yeah we'd have more freedom if we just got back to that big thing in the news is the flag thing. I.

Speaker 2: 18:11

Covered out a little bit earlier. We see a flag that had originally Native Indians on it. Native Americans they were, they were, they were on the flag. They had a plow they had, they had stuffed. At 18 was it 1886. We were the 16th in the state to be part of the 16th in union, the 16 stars, or you know, I'm going with this right.

Speaker 2: 18:33

I do yeah now we change it for a flag-looking Thing that was on. I mean, literally looks like the east coast of Africa's Somali pirate thing. And you gotta think to yourself, if we got a close a flag that close it looks to like a Somali, who designed this flag and why weren't we involved? Why were you and I involved to say, look, this should be like a mass vote thing, not just, hey, we're gonna change this because we don't like to look, because in reality it's a cancel culture, if you think about it. Yeah, how do you feel about that?

Speaker 1: 19:09

well, first of all, what was it that they didn't like about the flag? Who knows? Because a Native American was on the horse and it was the white man without shoes plowing the field.

Speaker 2: 19:22

Yep, yeah.

Speaker 1: 19:23

I don't know how that's offensive.

Speaker 2: 19:27

As far as focusing on the flag, I think that we should be focusing on other things more no doubt, but that in our situation, our situation is people didn't like it, and because I don't like it, we're gonna change it.

Speaker 1: 19:41

Well, they have a right to not like it, sure, um, but how we changed it and why we changed it are things that the public should have a vote on.

Speaker 2: 19:50

Like you, said yes, absolutely should be. It should not even begin to be. We're gonna change it Without everybody is okay. I mean some majority. That's the democratic or democratic process. You, you vote and and you work for us. If you're there, you work for us, and we say, no, don't change it. And all of a sudden is being changed. That ain't you, ain't working for us, and and I just have a problem with that. Yes, so do I yeah, want to reach out a little national here should we go a little national.

Speaker 1: 20:21

Okay.

Speaker 2: 20:22

You're a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Do you make ammunition for these things you do. You are kind of the the poster child for 2a. How do you like the fact that the FBI Decided to make a law legalizing Tack braces without going through due process and going through the channels of of Congress and the judiciary process?

Speaker 1: 20:49

How do I feel about that?

Speaker 2: 20:51

I mean, does that make sense to you that they can just jump in and, hey, we're gonna make a law and make it out. I'll illegal For you to own a tack brace if you bring it to your shoulder. It would be great stuff. A felony oh.

Speaker 1: 21:05

Oh, my goodness, you know what I think that all of these little laws that they're passing, that that Make it so that we cannot exercise our Second Amendment rights, or it should be gone. And and I think that every if we got more people involved and their voices got louder, that would I would keep them in check.

Speaker 2: 21:28

I do believe that a appellate court, federal had blocked that and and they said it was a California one at that says you cannot. It's illegal for you to think that you can make a lot without Going through a process. So I believe it's on hold as of now. If this happens to have hit Minnesota, and this was a thing, and in your, you're the policymaker now, what would you tell your and I hate to use the word constituents because it shows position these, these are the people that voted you in. They, I like to say they're your employers.

Speaker 2: 22:02

Oh, because they literally pay for you to be there. Yes, they do so Constituents is different, so go ahead. What do you say about that?

Speaker 1: 22:10

Oh, I think that we should just stand our ground and say, no, we, we're not doing this. And if, if it's forced upon us because of the vote here in Minnesota, then I say that we fight back and we get started right away.

Speaker 2: 22:23

Okay, let me, let me play out double advocate, but you hurt my feelings when you did that. Now what?

Speaker 1: 22:29

Well, feelings, you know our thing. However, everybody's feelings matter and you're hurting other people's feelings by you, your feelings being hurt doesn't matter by no more important now what I Don't believe your feelings are more important than mine.

Speaker 2: 22:44

So the in the end result, the word is tough. These are our constitutional rights.

Speaker 2: 22:51

Yes by changing yours or changing mine. We're allowing yours. It was a kind of conversation that was a no-win conversation, but I had to see where your head was and you're on track. All right, let's switch some gears. You ready to look at the next subject? Sir, you get x amount of money per year as a state. We have a surplus right now and we're gonna give you a $300 check. Everybody get $300 check, whatever that, whatever that number is, whatever that, whatever that number is, the next year you're still taxing. The same. Minnesota tax is like 7.7 or 7.5%. You get taxed I mean, in the head of a county of 8.25%, which just went up. We get a disparity tax. As a business I'm a business when can we keep our own money?

Speaker 1: 23:45

I think we should immediately. I think we should stop saying it's okay to tax us. I think tax is theft and I believe that I would be a legislator for free. I would do it for free. Why am I getting paid to do the right thing? That's honestly how I feel. I think that we should stop. I think the taxes are a joke. I think it's ruining our country. Inflation's just off the wall and I believe that people don't wanna pay taxes. I did run into a lady, though, up in Cambridge when I was door knocking, who said she loves taxes. Really. I just smiled at her I mean it was a no-win conversation because she loves taxes.

Speaker 2: 24:28

Yeah, as you reached over to her car and saw the Ovidon bumper sticker on her car, you knew where you were at.

Speaker 1: 24:33

She was a nurse actually.

Speaker 2: 24:35

She was what.

Speaker 1: 24:36

She was a nurse, she was a nice lady, but just to be so bold as to say I love taxes and I love being taxed.

Speaker 2: 24:44

I think she just did that to be smug.

Speaker 1: 24:47

I don't know, it was a funny conversation, but I listened to her because I think you should listen.

Speaker 2: 24:52

Yeah, but it was a short conversation.

Speaker 1: 24:55

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 24:56

Yeah, I've door knocked. I ran for office. I understand this process and if you haven't run for office, it is your do right to do so, and it is so rewarding in every level. I lost twice for office, but it taught me things and now I can talk about it. But if you don't have the audacity to come up and run for office, you don't have the right to complain about it.

Speaker 1: 25:20

I feel very strongly about that. If you're not getting involved and you complain, then you should not.

Speaker 2: 25:28

Yep, you got no right to. Yeah, pretty much. Well, hey, I'm with you on this. I mean, I get it. So you just sit back and you go. Really, you guys want to complain about this and like, what'd you do? Well, I complained about it once on Facebook.

Speaker 2: 25:41

No, that's not how you change things. So the money's kind of a big issue. And as a business myself in the state of Minnesota, because we are in a undisclosed location, by the way, in a bunker, just remember that, and you're sworn to secrecy, by the way Okay, the amount that you pay for, the amount of steps you get just seems so wrong. And as Hennepin County, because I'm a big supporter of Hexits, you know, leaving Hennepin County or disconnecting and going to a different county and saying, hey look, I'm done playing the ATM here. We're done as a city playing ATM. We should be looking at other options Instead of collecting my money. We don't have infrastructure we needed, but we're sitting on a surplus that can't be even logically correct. You get the chance to change that, or at least vote to change it, and your voting record shows that you look at other candidates right.

Speaker 1: 26:41

Yes, I do.

Speaker 2: 26:42

And I can only imagine your opponent. You've checked every yes or no box he's ever had.

Speaker 1: 26:46

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 26:49

For the most part did he vote the way common sense would.

Speaker 1: 26:54

Honestly, it's easy to have big teeth and be tough when you're in the minority. When he was in the majority, he didn't do. He didn't vote well and he did not fight for us. He wanted to side with the moderates and then he made deals with the Democrats and then he lost the majority.

Speaker 1: 27:14

and he lost it three times in a row and is still in, and I think that even his caucus voted against him because they thought he was a fell leader, as we all do, and I think that it's time for him to go.

Speaker 2: 27:29

I think at one time, as Sarah was correct, his compass was on, don't you believe that?

Speaker 1: 27:33

Probably not. You know, no, I think that he holds himself to an unknown standard and he is confident in that. I just I don't think that he's doing a good job at all.

Speaker 2: 27:50

And we get that. That's why you're running, that's why you're here.

Speaker 1: 27:52

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 27:53

But your opponents don't want to hear you say you wanna beat the other guy up. They wanna know why you're doing it. And this is just a window into your political soul to say, hey, I think at one time he might have been I don't know, I mean, you probably weren't involved in this time but now he's not. And Minnesota needs better than that.

Speaker 1: 28:14

Yes, I agree.

Speaker 2: 28:15

That makes sense.

Speaker 1: 28:16

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 28:18

I should be like your public speaker should.

Speaker 1: 28:19

I do that, yeah, you could be.

Speaker 2: 28:21

I'm really polished at this.

Speaker 1: 28:23

Yes, you are.

Speaker 2: 28:25

But the key here is to make sure people hear your message. What other message do you wanna send out to them?

Speaker 1: 28:33

I think our children are crying and nobody's listening. So we need to get people out. Go into caucus February 27th and change our state.

Speaker 2: 28:46

Okay. For the better. Get involved. If you don't want to physically get involved, if you do not have the time, if you don't want to just put your name on a check, send it in.

Speaker 1: 28:57

Yes.

Speaker 2: 28:58

The RNC can always use funding to make stuff happen. We are totally outspent by the left, more so than any other state in this union other than California, and we need that. Do you agree with that?

Speaker 1: 29:16

Well, my honest opinion is conservatives are church going people, and when we go to church we volunteer our time and energy for the Lord, so why are we not doing that for our country Right? I think that, even though we do not have all the money that the Democrats have coming in, that we could kick some ass Right, because naturally that's what we do every day we're mothers, we work, we have jobs, we spend time in the community. Why are we not voting right? Why are we not getting the right people? And I think that if we all got together, we could really do some changes and do damage to what's going on. We really need people to step up, and I think that if we just showed them how to do it, they would do it.

Speaker 2: 30:08

Lead by examples. I'm hearing.

Speaker 1: 30:10

Yes, that's, very good yeah.

Speaker 2: 30:13

So you're leading by example and you would feel that the Christian going, whether you're left or right, the Christian, the Catholics, the God fearing people are right to sit in that way.

Speaker 1: 30:26

Yes, Good works right.

Speaker 2: 30:28

It works. Yeah, that's very, that's very intuitive. It's just gotta work. I mean, it's just, how can it stay broken for so long?

Speaker 1: 30:39

I don't know To me. I'm surprised that it's as broken as it is in the state. The truth is is we're not taught about government, not the right way. We're not taught about caucus. We're not taught how to get involved when we're a youth.

Speaker 3: 30:56

Right.

Speaker 1: 30:56

Why are we not teaching our youth how to get involved?

Speaker 2: 30:59

Because we're too busy teaching them where to go to the bathroom in a cat box, in a public school.

Speaker 1: 31:04

Oh I think I still can't believe that's true. My kids do not go to public school. They I homeschool my children. I just-.

Speaker 2: 31:14

It's true, it's absolutely true.

Speaker 1: 31:17

Well, I know that it's happening. I just, I mean, I am so sorry that I'm laughing at it, but it just seems like-.

Speaker 2: 31:24

You're not laughing. You're laughing at uncertainty.

Speaker 1: 31:28

We are human beings. What are we doing?

Speaker 2: 31:30

Because we didn't say no, yes, we didn't say no as a left, as a right, and say, well, it's okay if you pee in a box, it's not okay. I mean, if you're the LGBTQ thing, I mean this is careful waters for you, so I get it. If you don't want to answer this, they have their thing and it's none of my business what they do. I absolutely positively believe that In retrospect. Now you're in a public school where my kids are my grandkids or whoever kids are being indoctrined and being taught to pee in a box because you won't say no, that's not wrong and they let this happen.

Speaker 2: 32:16

Now break that away from the LGBT, the alphabet warriors. You want to do what you do in your time. That's your business. It has nothing to do with me. My feelings don't even engage that. But when you bring it out to our kids now you have my attention. You, as a policymaker, are gonna sit back and go. Hey, wait a minute. Now. My caucus, my following, my employers, the people of the, wherever you're, their employers say we shouldn't be doing this, but you don't hold the majority. You're not district five, You're not ill hands, Omar's muscle crew down in Minneapolis and they have a lot of pull for votes for people who just say, okay, you go ahead and pee in a box because we want you to be feeling better. You like that, Rand?

Speaker 1: 33:06

I do. You know. I had a two year old who we had a litter box. We had two cats and he asked me why the cat was allowed to go to the bathroom in the house and I explained to him that it's like being outside, and one day I caught him peeing in the litter box and I was like what are you doing? He's like, it's like being outside.

Speaker 2: 33:31

I don't wanna go outside right.

Speaker 1: 33:33

So I don't know why we're teaching our youth to go back to being two years old and with that mindset we're supposed to be improving our country and not doing this.

Speaker 2: 33:47

Two steps forward, nine backwards. Oh yes, so the two year old, which didn't know any better, because it's two, but the 18 year old, the 15 year old that is in school, who wants to wear a furry tail, put whiskers on and walk around because it's the personal freedom, or the teacher that just gonna turn a blind eye to it? And I'll tell you, I talked to a lot of teachers in my business we were in the car business, so we do a lot of work in the neighborhood and they all look at me and go. We cannot believe it. No, we cannot stop it, because the higher ups in the system say you turn a blind eye to it every time and pass them. Pass them without their earning it, because for me they deserve. A grade is an entitlement, statement, deserves and titles where earns creates character.

Speaker 1: 34:44

Yeah, I feel very strongly about Merit. My love language is service, and I believe that if you love something, then you'd put some action towards it, and I feel that love is an action word. So if you love your country, then you should get off the couch and do something about it.

Speaker 2: 35:07

Hot gas does a lot of service for the local communities, for the national, for the, and we do a lot of research and we do a lot of you know, it's just we're busy with it and if we aren't telling the truth, as we see it, what is the truth? You're the truth. I, physically, I, mentally, I see that as my, that is my mental currency and I want that truth out there. Even though this is a national, international show, it's global.

Speaker 2: 35:30

Somebody somewhere in their town has this same conundrum of stupidness going on that they just gotta say whoa, and someone else's feelings is their issue, it is their issue. If you're feeling bad about it, then I guess I'm sorry, but that's the way the world works. And no is okay, that's important. When you get to your position, no is okay, not trying to offend, and if they get offended, it's not on you, it's their feelings. And you're right, you do have to pay attention to their feelings and that's what helps your votes and that's what puts you back in office. But it has to be a common sense feeling, does it not?

Speaker 1: 36:13

Yes, this is why we need to go back to our constitution, because there's more freedom if we stick with the constitution. Everybody both sides will have more freedom to be who they are and what they want to be if we stick to the constitution.

Speaker 2: 36:27

Now, taxes are a pretty big thing, so you're insane. I'm not telling where you live, but you're in an Oakland County, right I?

Speaker 1: 36:33

am.

Speaker 2: 36:34

All right. So 27B taxes up there are a whole lot different than in 32B Down. Here we're in Hanover County and you bring your checkbook because we have to pay for somebody to tour that South Minneapolis town. If you were in that position at that time and you could look at Walt's right in the eye and say, hey, what would you tell him when they started tearing down South Minneapolis in the third precinct?

Speaker 1: 36:57

Why aren't you doing something about it? And you need to work quickly. I don't know why he stalled. And then I honestly can't believe they let it happen and they were worried about people's feelings and when I was growing up, if you insulted somebody you could easily say no offense, but and then say whatever you wanted in front after you said that phrase no offense, but, by the way, your shoes suck.

Speaker 1: 37:27

That wasn't a big deal back then and people just blew it off like it was normal. It was normal to be insulted or for people to tell the truth because we were tough. And so why are we trying to make Americans weak? I thought the whole point of life is to toughen up and become better, and it feels like they want us to get weaker and then ultimately fall as a country, and I'm completely against that.

Speaker 1: 37:58

I think, that we should make our people strong and educate them on things that actually matter, which would be understanding the government and how it works, so that people get involved. Starting with caucus, february 27th, I just I really feel strongly that if people knew how to get involved, that they would do the right thing.

Speaker 2: 38:17

You would hope, wouldn't you?

Speaker 1: 38:20

For the most part, I believe people have good hearts and they mean well. Yes, so yeah.

Speaker 2: 38:25

So you were in what state before you came to Minnesota?

Speaker 1: 38:28

Utah.

Speaker 2: 38:29

And what did you do there?

Speaker 1: 38:31

But like before, I got married at 20. Okay, um, yeah, no, I worked at a law firm.

Speaker 2: 38:42

Okay, so in Utah, 20 years old, at a law firm, working there, and what year did you come to Minnesota? 1999., so just about the 2000 mark, all right 1999 to 9 of 2023 year, a whole lot of different political climates, yeah.

Speaker 1: 39:01

A lot has happened since then. We had 9-11 happen. It seems like everything kind of went downhill after that.

Speaker 2: 39:09

Yeah, Mm-hmm. Would you stay here? Would you go back home if you knew what all this was going on? Would you go back to Utah and say I'm not being part of this?

Speaker 1: 39:18

Not at all. I think that you should get in the fight.

Speaker 2: 39:21

So you would engage.

Speaker 1: 39:22

Oh my goodness, how can you win anything if you're on?

Speaker 2: 39:25

There you go. There's where I was going.

Speaker 1: 39:28

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2: 39:29

So now you've gave the people a moment of okay, she's a fighter. That's the win. That's what I wanted to go for. That's what I wanted. It's what I'm out there. I ain't going backwards, I'm going to fight this.

Speaker 1: 39:40

Yes.

Speaker 2: 39:42

What else can we know about you? What else you want people to know about you?

Speaker 1: 39:46

Well, I I believe that the children are hurting right now. I think that you know I have five kids. I'm a new grandmother. I became a grandmother in September.

Speaker 2: 39:57

Wow, good for you.

Speaker 1: 39:58

Yeah, and you have to think about their future and where things are going, and it doesn't look bright. So I Really, really want our children to have a future in this country and I want it to be a free country when we focus on our constitution. Yeah, I think that, though, we have too many laws the whole big time and I think the taxes are way too high, uh-huh.

Speaker 1: 40:26

and I think that we should take our foundation, which is learning to serve, because the majority of us, our foundation, is going to church on Sundays, every single Sunday, and going to meetings, and we're already doing this in our personal lives. We're already going to church, we're already organizing events. Why not do that in our government and fix our government right now? We're, we're already, we already have that in us. So getting people involved and them working as volunteers, it's already in our blood, so why aren't we getting? I believe if we just inform people, it'll fix itself.

Speaker 2: 41:10

Do you know what the demographics are in 2017? I Do what is it predominantly?

Speaker 1: 41:17

Lutheran Lutheran Baptist.

Speaker 2: 41:22

Reference, and is it red or blue? Oh Red okay, so you're predominantly conservative reds, republicans in your, in your area. Mm-hmm and Kurt's a Republican side. Mm-hmm, how are you gonna Persuade the people that have been Kurt people for years to say look, it's time for a change, other than I just feel and I want, because you know I can feel, want all day too. How are you gonna make it happen?

Speaker 1: 41:53

Okay, rephrase that. What do you want? I'm thinking that people are sick of the people that are in office right now and we need new blood. Okay because the people in office right now Are bending over backwards for the Democrats and we need to stand your ground.

Speaker 2: 42:09

I got that and actually vote our way and and pull people this our way and let them see our side of things instead of saying, oh yeah, hi how you gonna get them, though You're gonna go out and you're gonna shake hands and shake babies and steel suckers and all that stuff, how are you gonna get their attention?

Speaker 1: 42:25

Well, yeah, it starts with a conversation. Yes it starts with talking to your neighbors Yep, sitting at your kitchen table and saying, hey, this is what I think. How do you feel?

Speaker 2: 42:34

and Nine times out of ten, you're gonna agree on almost every issue but nine times out of ten, when I sit with Democrats, have the same conversation. We're agreeing that the same thing.

Speaker 1: 42:44

Yes, well, they have a lot of funds and they get paid off. We need to find people that have Substance value inside their soul and they want to do the right thing. They can't get paid off. There's plenty of them out there. They're just not getting involved because they think it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2: 43:03

Yeah, there's a lot of ridiculous. So how do people get a hold you? How do they Fund your campaign? Do you have any of that set up yet?

Speaker 1: 43:12

Yeah, you can go to my website, rachel, for mnhousecom, and I'm on Facebook, my phone number 763 2035 373. I will answer your call and I will talk to you and I will eat for coffee.

Speaker 2: 43:25

Maybe one day we should have you and Curt in the office and in the studio and have the same conversation.

Speaker 1: 43:29

Oh I love that. Yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, kurt's like you can get along with Kurt, yeah.

Speaker 2: 43:34

Kurt's good guy. Yeah, he was an old family friend of ours, way back in the day, and I don't even know if he's to remember, just but I remember him.

Speaker 2: 43:42

Yeah but it's yeah, if we, if we put him in the same room and we say, look, you know, you got to understand that you're, you're up and coming and he's there and happening. So for you to get to his hmm, how do I put it? For you to get to his ability to know what he knows, he's gonna take some learning curve and you have to absorb all this which he's already absorbed once. So time is a factor of that and put in to put in the hours. I'm sure there are plenty of things that happen to other Candidates that they I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that. And you know we all say the same thing, we're pounding the same drum. But until you're there you go, holy cow. Now I'm no Obama supporter by far, I'm absolute opposite of.

Speaker 2: 44:30

And the only intelligent thing I've ever ever heard that man say was on Jay Leno. And he says to me, says you know, jay says well, you know, what could you, what would you, what was so hard? And he says I thought change would be a lot easier. And he absolutely was right. And it would. He'd rang truth to this day. I won't forget it. I thought change would be easier, but it's not, because you're not the only player. That's a tough battle. How you can navigate that Tough question isn't it, it is.

Speaker 1: 45:05

I think. I Think that you have to know Yourself and you have to know that you're not going to move from that self.

Speaker 2: 45:15

Mind your compass is what I'm hearing. Then Stay on, stay on course, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: 45:20

I think that if you're not, if you don't know what you stand for, you'll you'll fall for anything.

Speaker 2: 45:27

Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. That's very intuitive as well. Okay, what are we? We are for 42 minutes, but what a conversation today. Did you enjoy your day?

Speaker 1: 45:39

I did. You're wonderful, thank you.

Speaker 2: 45:41

Well, is there anything else you want to launch out that you want people to know, because, I mean, this is, this is all about you?

Speaker 1: 45:48

You know, I think it's more all about our children. I, I have five children and I watch them. I watch them grow and I watch what's happening to our world, in our country and our States and I see how it changes them, and I think that we should focus on what our children, their future and what they're, what they're going to have to experience through taxes and inflation and Raising their children, and we have to start focusing on Fixing everything. I just think that it's such a mess and if we, if we don't take that first step, we're never going to Get better results. So it's, it's taking that first step. Getting off the couch Can't fix what you don't recognize as a broken yeah, and a lot of people don't recognize that broken.

Speaker 2: 46:43

Well then, we need to start talking and having a conversation. That's right.

Speaker 1: 46:48

We need to call people and and door, not reach out. Why are we not door knocking more right?

Speaker 2: 46:53

Reach out, smack that door, hey even if they got a bomb, a sticker on their car. You know what? You still talk to him. I do. I did yeah. Where else can you walk up to anybody in the city and say here's a piece of paper, here's who I am, and they'll either want to burn your time because they want to be Delicious about it, or they actually want to hear your procedure.

Speaker 1: 47:12

Yeah, it's really easy to to meet people at a grocery store or a gas station. I think that a smile goes a long way.

Speaker 2: 47:20

It does and actions go farther. Yes, that's a thing, all right. One more thing, all right, one more time. Website.
